sometimes when you talk about your life as you live it out, your eyes want to scream and shower at lies that were given out.
-you should know.
-should i know?
so then you try to turn around and figure life is all about the happiness you find in a simple lullaby. and you will try to take it out by stomping 'round the fertile ground and killing little seeds of a grass that's yet to be.
and you will find me in the make of a melody, you in the heart of the harmony, timing the time that we start to sing, long with the time of you heart beat.
and we will be rid of the weight that's been placed upon or little backs, a weight that surely had to crack. and i will shout out to the sky and i'll sing aloud my little songs that help me move the day along.

heavy on my head
04:26
|
|||
|
i was born with eyes; i've seen what you're all about. i was raised with ears; i've heard what you have to say, but what i want to know right now is what i couldn't ask with my mouth.
i was born with feet; i've walked all around this land. i was born with hands; i've pushed through some padlocked doors, but what i want to know right now is why i feel so heavy on my back.
i played to leave this and now it's making it worse, and now i know that i don't.
i was born with a face that shows what I'm thinking all the time, despite what my mouth says. and my body tried to act. well, I'm no good at that. i can't pretend. i am who i am.
so my nose keeps me on my path, and my chin tries to stay above my collar, no matter how heavy my head.

don't move away until i can find a place, in you, to stay, that i will never loose. because underneath the lies i breathe, i know i mean the most lovely things.
brother, i'll forget the blows we used to make, so filled with hate when we were younger. and brother i regret the words we never said, the times we never shared together.
don't forget to tell our mother, sister, brother, aunt, and uncle that you decided to fight like our father.
don't forget to tell our mother, sister, brother, aunt, and uncle that you decided to leave like our father.

sung with the birds
02:58
|
|||
|
when i wake up i soak up the sun, and i listen to the trees as they rustle their wisdom back at me, and the sun lights through their leaves to shine on me.
but there are times when the sun won't shine, and the flies won't fly 'cause their wings are cold. and the leaves i knew are just to frozen to shake their tune. and the light sets on the sea instead of me.

one day, someday
03:49
|
|||
|
when my bones grow bigger, and my hips grow wider, then i'll be a man. and until it happens, i will sit and wonder what will i become.
i will be so much older. i will be so much wiser. i will be so much bolder. i will be so much smarter.
and we'll walk together, and we'll share our stories of the places we've come to know. yes, when my face grows tougher, and my heart grows nearer, i will build you a fortress in the trees.

and we'll walk and talk of everything, the truth of things i'd never sing, and you will tell me I'm alone, but the pictures on your face will tell that I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong.
but we'll walk and talk of everything, the truth of things i'd never sing, and you will tell me that I'm wrong, and the pictures on your face will tell - I'm not alone. I'm not alone.
and we'll walk and talk of everything, the truth of things i'd never sing... (woah oh oh oh-oh) so how are you feeling? how are you feeling?? (woah oh oh oh-oh)
"fine. well... I'm feeling fine."
"why don't you ask how i am?"
"i am just really shy..."
"well then, i'll tell you what's on my mind..."
and we'd walk and talk of everything, the truth of things i'd never sing... (woah oh oh oh-oh) so how are you feeling? HOW ARE YOU FEEEELING?? (woah oh oh oooooooooooo-aaaaaaaaaaaaah!)
so tell me what i should do, 'cause I'm not getting anything, and i know what it's like too. it's not only you.
