Everybird - Peter Gabriel

It’s not the place that I grew up in

It’s not the body I was born with

They’re not the trees that I once played in

That now surround us, us in a prison

Every bird was born with feathers

Every wing was shaped to fly

We spin around 'til we stop all motion

Let the heart move 'til the earth can touch the sky

In my hunger deep in my bones

In a thousand deserted homes

Any time that you feel alone

I will find you where you are

Go where you are

In a garden behind the wall

Spinning coins and I watch them fall

Though I’ve lost all the wherewithal

I will find you where you are

Go where you are

I sing like the earth as you dance on my skin

Then memories release the future

So this living can begin

Not in the ship that charts the heavens

Not in the words that fall like hail stones

Not in the light you disappear in

I’ll be the mirror you can see through

Every bird was born with feathers

Every wing was shaped to fly

We spin around 'til we stop all motion

Let the heart move until the earth can touch the sky

In all the lines that churned your face

In a stretch that can open space

Any place that you leave a trace

I will find you where you are

Go where you are

In a city inside the wall

Where you watched all the embers fall

Though we’ve lost all the wherewithal

I will found you where you are

Go where you build this nest with lot of feathers

Build a world to bring back life

Build the place that holds the future

Can hold the future

For all who come when we are gone

When we are gone
