You say your time has come
You're tired of waking up
Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of
Living without you
You say you drag us down
No one should want you now
When I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you
I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply, your parents tried but they didn't know how to
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light

We are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
They'll show up
Blame a change of mind
A seismic shift in times
They told us not to fight
But we'll fight it till we die
Cos' we are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be many more,
They'll show up, yeah they'll show up
And so they sunk every ship we sailed
But we stood up, we stood up
And they fought hard, but somewhere fighting failed
They're all shook up, they're all shook up
All shook up
Steel and concrete break
Beneath the steady waves
Of fearless hope and grace
In kindness there is strength.
Cos' we are not frightened anymore,
We stood up, we stood up
And there are two of us there will be many more,

You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home dooodoodoo
My cheeks red like fire engines racing straight to the heat of your skin and I know our days are numbered, early bird of the summer you'll fly south just as the fall begins
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill dooo
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state, I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same doopdoodoo
The fields where we wandered were golden
Now only muddy my boots and I know I should recover, you're a bird of the summer, I was wrong to try and capture you
Flight
Flight
Gone is the pale hand of winter
Here is the first flush of may
And soon I will discover whether birds of the summer fly in circles or just fly away
