lyrics

Are we like trees
When we die
Do we die from the top down
Are we more like the wind
How it goes
And it goes
And it goes
And it goes

Are we like birds
When we’re born
Are we born just to fall down
Are we more like the rain
How it falls
And it flows
And it flows
And it flows

How the forest needs the fire
And the land needs the drought
And your body needs the pain
And your faith needs your doubt
And you want something more
But refuse to give in
And you try
And you try
And you try

What did I do to deserve
Pharaoh’s position
The catbird seat is not for me
And what if I make of this place
My own little prison
Can I count on someone
To set me free

When we’re all gone
And the world’s all alone
Like it once was
Will there still be a hope
Like a ship coming in
Across the ocean

How the day needs the dawn
And the light needs the fire
And you know something’s wrong
Something’s making you tired
But you’re making it work
With the people you have
And you try
And you try
And you try

What did I do to deserve
Pharaoh’s position
The catbird seat is not for me
And what if I make of this place
My own little prison
Can I count on someone
To set me free
