Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the battle for belonging
Every doorbell has a code
With a stare it can be opened
Now you have it, now you don't
[Verse 2]
There are buildings, there are people
Walk around and look up to
Every swallow has its season
Every gallow has its noon
[Verse 3]
By the rhythm of your language
The sparkle in your stride
Talk in riddles or be candid
With a shield or open wide
[Verse 4]
The lesson you must learn
No one could ever teach
Open up and reach for the stars
[Verse 5]
Above you
Above you
[Verse 6]
If you have a way of knowing
Every river can be crossed
Lose the sparrow that had landed
For the one that never was
[Verse 7]
There's a song for every dreamer
As they climb over this fence
Trading roses for the real world
As the second we commence
[Verse 8]
To where no one has control
Where the young eclipse the old
Prejudice and wisdom all the same
[Verse 9]
I want you
I want you
