Lyrics Faux Bamboo - dEUS

And then the church struck 5
It marked the time the march went on
The girls parading with beads tied in their hair
See the mothers and fathers on their toes
And the boys one eye on heaven
For if the sky would fall upon
And the sky would fall upon

If only one of them
Had had the foresight and the game
To take it on himself, and show them all the path
That person's wisdom would be praised and heard
Provided she would lead the way
But there is little to be won
By wishing for the sun
Cause the house we live in
It took years of building
Now the thunder's shaking
Before the lightning I couldn't see it

Don't mistake it
Cause I'm ready for anything you better know
You're the one who breaks it
I'm not walking alone now

Now see the purple clouds
And how they play with circumstance
How fanciful are dreams
Dreamed by just one
Oh, the girls they loosen up their beads
And the boys just love to see them
Cause they want to carry on
They have got to carry on

Cause the house we live in
It took years of building
Now the thunder's shaking
Before the lightning I couldn't see it
Don't mistake it
Cause I'm ready for anything you better know
You're the one who breaks it
I'm not walking alone now

Touch the sky and go forever
Feel the ground
Push your feet up
Walk unafraid till you will never
Feel the ground
Push your feet up

And after shields were sown
And thrown against the sighing rain
And after open wounds had been bled
The girls had formed a throne of iron
And they laughed when one had said
We are here to take you on
We are here to take you on

We are here to take you on
We walk all night until we see it
We are here to take you on
We walk all night and we'll believe it
