American Mothers

(album: On Nature / Part One - 2013)

American mothers
Sit by the sea
Waiting for the tides
What will they be like
Chinese at a wall
Standing together
They don't know what for

English fathers
Look to the sky
Holding their children
They don't know why

Animals
Could you survive in the wild
Animals
Could you survive in the wild

Mystic fantastic
Your hands, your mouth
We are all someone from somewhere else
Walk into your backyard and feel your plants
They are creating the air you breathe
They are a part of you, do you see
Do you see through the spider web
Down the ancient vines
The idea of time

Animals
Would you survive in the wild
Animals
Would you survive in the wild
Animals
Would you survive in the wild

Were we meant to run together
Or meant to run alone
