Capitol Letter - Patti Smith

Rebellion has a heart

Breaking as the dawn

Bursting into song

Bursting into song

Bird in the hand

Another role to play

Mocking as the jay

Mocking as the jay

She’s the silent one

In her soft boots

Racing through the flames

Racing through the flames

She’s the silent one

In her soft boots

Trawling her bow

And her only truth

Rebellion is an arrow

Wired to the sun

Igniting everyone

Igniting everyone

Bird in the hand

Another role to play

Mocking as the jay

Mocking as the jay

She’s the silent one

In her soft boots

Racing through the flames

Racing through the flames

She’s the silent one

In her soft boots

Mocking as the jay

And she’ll be mocking you
