lyrics

We need to mend these broken jaws and open our ears to acceptance.

Carry the crippled bird. Release the free bird. Carry the crippled mind. Stand tall and watch it rise. Roots stunted growth. Potential lost in soil. Broken branches, torn leaves. Betrayal, jealousy, loss, greed.

Refuse to stand still. Set money on fire, create warmth for another. Extend a hand as you would for your mother. Lower your gun and drop your defences. Remove your mask and show your raw skin. Take off your clothes and expose every scar to an open mouth and open arms. Break the concrete and open the landfill. I need room because I refuse to stand still.

Not too many people got flowers on their tongues. Just a lot of fire mouths and jagged teeth.

Open our hearts and let them guide our actions. Open our eyes to the blind and wounded. Open our minds and see skin like hair. Open our arms and create a sense of home. Open our doors and feed the stray dog. Open our mouths. An open mouth for every sleepless night. An open mouth for any losing a fight. Open your mouth, listen, raise your head from shallow water.
