Everybird

It's not the place That I grew up in. It's not the body I was born with. They're not the trees That I once played in, That now surround us, bars in a Prison. Every bird was born with Feathers. Every wing was shaped to fly. We spin around 'til we stop all Motion, And let the heart move Until the earth can touch the sky. In the hunger deep in my bones, In a thousand deserted homes, any time that you Feel alone, I will find you where you are. Go where you are. In the garden behind the wall, Spinning coins and I watch them fall. Though I've lost all the will with all, I will find you where you are. Go where you are. I sing like the earth as you dance on My skin. The memories release the future so this Living can begin. Not in the ship That charts the heavens. Not in the words that fall like Hailstones. Not in the light You disappear in. I'll be the mirror You can't see through. Every bird was born with Feathers. Every wing was shaped to fly. We spin around 'til we stop All motion, And let the heart move until the earth Can touch the sky. In all the lines etched on your face, In a stretch that could open space, Any place that you leave a trace, I will find you where you are. Go where you are. In the city inside the wall, where you watched All of lost fall. Though we've lost all the will with all, I will find you where you are. Go where you-Build this nest with Blood and feathers. Build a world to bring back Life. Build the place that holds a Future, can hold a future For all who come when we are gone. When gone.
