lyrics

it could have been their voices

like trails from a star

you know they have to sing through darkness
to hold course and avoid harm
could have been the ache of freedom
the push and pull of tired wings

could have been the warm pulse beating
twice the sugar through their veins
four chambered heart less efficient but more art
four chambered hearts
not born the way of mammals

hard shell chipped by trembling beak
but when the light and hunger hit you
you met a Mother’s need to feed
then the thought of flying

and a map that others owned
hundreds of millions of years trying
and the hollowing of bones
through those

four chambered hearts

we’re so different- but not this part
four chambered hearts
alright, alright

four chambered hearts
another vision- another spark
four chambered hearts
