Lyrics
Where do the wild birds sing
When all is dead and gone
I’ve been whispering
A little gypsy song
To the wind
Seeking a place to belong
Got carried away
By another day
Trading my soul
For another line
Travelling slow
I opened my eyes
Freedom was mine
When I wrote this line
I’ve been whispering
A little gypsy song
Traded no more
My spirit could soar
Giving it all
For a living that is small
Taking part no more
In a lie that blinds
The best of humankind
Set me free to be …
Doors were closed
Ceilings felt heavy
Questions were not asked
Opportunities were lost
A million battles have been fought
Because I was born a girl
I stood waiting
Wanting you to take my hand
But you let me fall
So I stood up on my own
A million battles have been fought
Because I was born a girl
Now I walk my own path
Open my own doors
Let the sunshine in
Seizing the only moment that matters
Carrying my children
I have bled
Raising the future
I have won
A million battles have been fought
Because I was born a girl
Now I walk my own path
Open my own doors
Let the sunshine in
Seizing the only moment that matters
We’ve thrown it all away
Time will not obey
Walking on a tightrope
Change is on its way
Here I stand
In line
Sometime to think
Where is mine
Time passing by
Without a smile
Time passes by
Without rival
Make no mistake
There is another way
No masters, no chains
This gravy train is done
Here I stand
In line
Sometime to think
Where is mine
A new day dawns
Not to repeat
The chance is now
At your feet
Time passing by
Without a smile
Time passes by
Without rival
Time passing by
Time passes by
I have no fairytales to tell you
Words spill like blood
Flooding the page from an open wound
There is no hiding why I am
No dream come true
Just the pain that must let go
Is this too much of a burden for you?
I sing to an empty room
The ruin laid bare
This is where the light gets in
Mr Cohen once said
It is in the cracks
The broken aching to be fixed
It came in a dream
I lay it all down
No escape, just release
In the quiet of the night
Thoughts scatter
Forming shadows
Dancing on the walls
The ruin laid bare
This is where the light gets in
Mr Cohen once said
It is in the cracks
I sit notebook by my side
Ready to receive my consolation prize
The exquisite torture keeps me awake
Alive
There is no other place I’d rather be
Waking with poetry on my lips
No past to undo
Only the future to unfold
This is where the light gets in
Mr Cohen once said
Wars fought for kings
Shed the blood of the common man
On lands divided by flags
We fall
The never-ending story
Of lives lost for fortunes made
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
Everyone has lost
A peaceful man
Children grow in the wreckage
Mothers cry, wives battle on
This is the story we all once knew
Everybody lost
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
I’ll send you my prayers
And you’ll send me yours
The good deed in disguise
Crosses and flags line the hills
Marked sacrifices
Never made by ink stained hands
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
There was a young boy of sixteen
Not yet a man
Just the son of a man
A sinner like everyone
Still the stone was cast
Shattering their reflection
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
Who signed the order of god
Who took the light
Killed a boy not for what he had done
But for fear of the seed they had sowed
And the drums are beaten on and on
The wars never come to an end
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
Empires strike at the heart of peace
All kingdoms are built for ruin
Living to be buried in a casket of gold
Let us not forget
This story carved in stone
May it lead us to find common ground
Lay them down to rest
Somewhere the flags don’t fly
Everyone has lost
Everybody lost
hmm hmmm
hmm hmmm
There are kinder days to come
Even when the sweet words of a lullaby
Have lost their harmony
Let them crash over you
Breaking for the new
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
There are times of trouble
That is true
But that is not all we have to offer
Here for you
Here for you,
Take your time
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
Everything comes to pass
Step back and take it slow
Joy is not to be denied
Remember how far you have come
On less then you have now
There is so much more beauty to be found
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
I just want some shade
Both whisper the allure of escape
You don’t feel broken in a new dress
This ain’t my first heartbreak
Won’t you leave me just one little piece
This is my life
I’m gonna take it back
Watching leaves turn and fall
The dark before the dawn
Transformed, shedding the old
Winter holds her own majesty
Even when memories overstay
Playing on repeat
No shelter from the storm
The winds will change
This ain’t my first heartbreak
Won’t you leave me just one little piece
This is my life
I’m gonna take it back
Sitting at my desk morning breaks the spell
Tending the forgotten garden
Blossoming again
A butterfly takes to the sky
Tears have fallen
Rage paid a visit
Hate faded away
Love endured it all
In the end, this life is mine
It belongs to me
