Some days I fly like a bird
Everything flows and love is a verb
Nothing is static
The breach gets birthed
By these old ways
Some days I fall from the sky
Shoot myself down when I fly so high
Trash my achievements
Wish I could die
To these old ways
Wash away your past with warm tears
Let them fall from your eyes
Wash away your past with a laugh dear
Your laugh can make us fly
Some days I put myself down
Question my purpose
Design a new shroud
Feel like an actor who's faking new ground
In an old play
Some days you burst my balloon
Feel so dejected like I've come too soon
Can't walk the line between user and used
So I use you
Dear child
When you were born
I looked for signs arising from this storm
Dear child
I heard your call
Gave me back my heart
And I walked out the door
My God
I'm coming to you
The journey was hard but then we broke through
I really do move in mysterious ways
And so do you
All this fear, I can't find my truth here
All this fear, we will clear
We will clear
We will clear
Everything flows and love is a verb
Nothing is static
The breach gets birthed
By these old ways
Some days I fall from the sky
Shoot myself down when I fly so high
Trash my achievements
Wish I could die
To these old ways
Wash away your past with warm tears
Let them fall from your eyes
Wash away your past with a laugh dear
Your laugh can make us fly
Some days I put myself down
Question my purpose
Design a new shroud
Feel like an actor who's faking new ground
In an old play
Some days you burst my balloon
Feel so dejected like I've come too soon
Can't walk the line between user and used
So I use you
Dear child
When you were born
I looked for signs arising from this storm
Dear child
I heard your call
Gave me back my heart
And I walked out the door
My God
I'm coming to you
The journey was hard but then we broke through
I really do move in mysterious ways
And so do you
All this fear, I can't find my truth here
All this fear, we will clear
We will clear
We will clear
