The Chariot - Andy Sundwall lyrics
[The Chariot - Andy Sundwall lyrics]
In feathers we came
We learned from your ways
And the tricks up your sleeve and we grew
But the distance between
The earth and our feet was the only thing
Never to change
But it opened our eyes something they missed
Something they put away back on the shelf
And they can't see it
Through the immaculate dress
Sink like a stranger instead of
The one they call home
We can't believe in everything we hear
Diamonds by association don't count
And I'm not saying we've got
It all figured out
(What good is just one wing?)
Why accept silver when you're given gold
(What good is just one wing?)
Stuck in your ways tossed about by the sea
Waving around your gun
That you'll never shoot
Waste not life's grace
(What good is just one wing?)
And don't assume that we are all the same
(What good is just one wing?)
Stand up turn and draw
I am not them, we are not them
They are not us and we don't relate
We are as much the same as lungs to the sea
Please don't confuse the heart
Behind the name
Putting their voices on top of the crowd
So that everyone hears they
Are mighty and great
Maybe I'm broken and maybe I'm shaking
But at least I say what I say
And I confess we grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We We want more more, more
We want more more, more
We can't step away from the ocean
Just because the waves are thick oh we press
We learned from your ways
And the tricks up your sleeve and we grew
But the distance between
The earth and our feet was the only thing
Never to change
But it opened our eyes something they missed
Something they put away back on the shelf
And they can't see it
Through the immaculate dress
Sink like a stranger instead of
The one they call home
We can't believe in everything we hear
Diamonds by association don't count
And I'm not saying we've got
It all figured out
(What good is just one wing?)
Why accept silver when you're given gold
(What good is just one wing?)
Stuck in your ways tossed about by the sea
Waving around your gun
That you'll never shoot
Waste not life's grace
(What good is just one wing?)
And don't assume that we are all the same
(What good is just one wing?)
Stand up turn and draw
I am not them, we are not them
They are not us and we don't relate
We are as much the same as lungs to the sea
Please don't confuse the heart
Behind the name
Putting their voices on top of the crowd
So that everyone hears they
Are mighty and great
Maybe I'm broken and maybe I'm shaking
But at least I say what I say
And I confess we grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We grew bored from your ways
We We want more more, more
We want more more, more
We can't step away from the ocean
Just because the waves are thick oh we press
