I said no I won't go
I lied down where the rivers meet it
Stay down,
stay down
Hand in the water as it's passing me by
Been given a fire
to keep warm under my wings and
Don't blow,
don't blow the tiniest flower in the middle of a war
I'm hovering,
shimmering
Touching down momentarily
Between the fires and the debris
I'm closing in on the shimmering
Lights in the distance clinging to a string
As you're pulling me in
Past being afraid
I'm bare feet shedding skin
I'm upside down, upside down
Standing in the corner with the gloves
untied Been given a fire that keeps me warm
Out of the winds and your eyes are all clear skies
A blank sheet of paper free from violence and lies
I'm hovering,
shimmering
Touching down momentarily
Between the fires and the debris I'm closing in on the shimmering
Lights in the distance clinging to a string As you're pulling me in
You're the sand in the hourglass You're the water on a wheel
You're the force driving me on
Keeping the beating time
You keep the beating time
