Devin Townsend - Sprite

Once upon a time, in a tiny little town, in a tiny little house, where no one came around There lived a bird who was just so sad For this little bird didn’t have a mom or a dad He had forgotten how to fly, and he had lost the will to try Until one day, a bear came around, and the bird heard its terrible sound And through his fear, his courage did appear He lifted once more from the ground Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind You and I can’t find our "one" Throws me naked into the eternal Don’t go now You and I run In a world that’s so inviting Find your own sanctuary and play along Show me to the fundamental tenet Hard times have come to return You and I can’t find our "one" (Everyone, everybody Everyone, everybody) In a world that’s subdivided Hold your own ceremony, and carry on Soul, soul and the body are broken-hearted So, sons and your daughters are broken-hearted But know, only the body is broken, hardened Show me to the fear that’s in your mind Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind (You and I can’t find our one) (Everyone, everybody Everyone, everybody) In a world that’s self-divided You count your hopes, face the morning, and pray along Think of everyone you know Everybody is broken Take a look around, everyone is sad Monsters and robots are broken-hearted Octopus lovers are broken-hearted Dad in the garden, all broken-hearted Thank you for the morning and the light But more than this Thank you for keeping trying Slow progress is still progress
