|
I turn one way and the wind blows me over, |
|
I turn another way and it's holding me up, |
|
Luck has nothing to do with it, |
|
Things change when you learn to loosen your grip. |
|
I think one way and the future is desparate, |
|
I think another way everything is in sight, |
|
Trees bend so branches don't have to break, |
|
We mend the wounds of our last mistake. |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Proud man begins to cry. |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Things change, so why can't I? |
|
I live one way holding onto the fencepost, |
|
I live another way sliding off into space, |
|
Each life is loosely assembled, |
|
Inside the molecules tremble. |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Proud man begins to cry. |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Things change, so why can't I? |
|
Little by little we die. |
|
Washed up on the beach of betrayal, |
|
How did the Mesonyx become a whale? |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Proud man begins to cry. |
|
Birds swim, fish do fly, |
|
Things change, so why can't I? |
|
Things change, |
|
Fish fly. |
|
Little by little we try, |
|
Little by little we die. |
|
Why can't I? |
|
Why can't I? |
