I was lost in the lakes
And the shape that your body makes
That your body makes
And the mountains said I could find you here
They whisper the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map
I was lost in there
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you and now you're mine
I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark
But you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps?
And would you shatter, would you shatter?
Would you?
Your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell then there that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for earth to display
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair
Why are we fighting, why are we fighting?
Kicking and screaming,scratching and biting.
Keeping it going, wherever we're going.
Generations are generating,
And what am I supposed to do
But take good care, good care of you?
We have a lot of work to do,
Me and you, and you, and you.
Brothers and sisters are in my arms.
Brothers and sisters are up in arms.
Mothers and fathers, sons and the daughters.
Up in the army, the men and the ladies.
And we have a lot of work to do,
Me and you, and you, and you.
Out of the money and into the storm.
Brothers and sisters are in my arms.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
And that's enough for me.
Drop the axes, and recheck the facts, I said.
Brothers and sisters, telling the story.
Out of the money, and into the storm.
I said my peace, I said
I said my piece,I said peace,
I said peace, I said.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
I am part of a large family.
And that's enough for me
