lyrics

Everything here has all been here before
The wind and the waves and the sea and the shore
The songs that we sing are the notes that we hear
Things that we want are the things that are near

There’s thunder and lightning inside of the stone
And mountains and caverns you don’t walk alone
But shadows are turning back into the light
And pinnacles climbing down from a great height

The bird wants the sky and the sky wants the rain
The rain it wants to be ocean again
Rocks into sand and sand into sea
Everything’s trying its best to be free

The things we have lost will all come back again
Loved ones and lighters and misplaced red pens
Money in couches and lovers through doors
Will come back as something we’ve not yet looked for

So you the sweet ocean and you the soft sand
Were once walking with me and holding my hand
And the birds o’er the sea were once a dear friend
Everything circles and changes and bends

The bird wants the sky and the sky wants the rain
The rain it wants to be ocean again
Rocks into sand and sand into sea
Everything’s trying its best to be free
