Thing With Feathers Lyrics

Mouths Of Babes Thing With Feathers

Well they don't give you much to hold onto
You look for the sun, it's behind you
You wonder how they're gonna find you out at sea

Cause we sailed to Gibraltar together
Through the lashing of wind and of weather
And we hoped somehow it would just get better
If hope is a thing with feathers, fly to me

Now cesium came and it leaked out
From Daiichi Basin, it's here now
And no one is free of the fear now, in our sleep

So I pray to the God and the Father
But I wonder if he'll really bother
We had many chances to make it better
If hope is a thing with feathers, fly to me

Fly to me, Fly to me
I've been waiting for so long
Fly to me, Fly to me
Come and give me your best song
And do what you do to make it better

Now some things are important to get right
Some things you can leave on the curbside
Some people will fade like the daylight easily

Cause you can't stop a train or a snow plow
And I can't change the person you are now
You can't change the past, the time or the weather
But if you've loved then you've already made things better
If hope is a thing with feathers, fly to me
