Lyrics

Hiding from the world around
A little owl sees underground
A piece of bronze to weigh me down
A hand above to pull me out

I stumble through the darkest time - Deep time
On winds the starless river, lost to our eyes
Crying for the dead, I feel alive, dive in
If you see me, weep a million tears, a billion years

From terror to warmth, in the twist of a tunnel
A crack in the ice. It could all come tumbling

Hiding from the world around
A little owl sees underground
A piece of bronze to weigh me down
A hand above to pull me out

Through pain and power and violent shadows
Emerge, return and cover the sadness
Sometimes we bury to forget the past
Sometimes we shelter what matters the most
Sometimes we need to block out the ghosts

Below, beyond our time
Always leaving light behind
No one to hear you shout

Hiding from the world around
A little owl sees underground
A piece of bronze to weigh me down
A hand above to pull me out

A spring in spring above the reflection
The brightest sun, the water runs

Leave a mark to tell my children’s children’s children’s child
Bury the fear, the fight, so we don’t wipe them out

Running through the world around
A little boy sees overground
A fleeting thought to weigh me down
A hand below to pull me out
