Beat Your Wings - Guided By Voices

Will the wind that scatters dust

Reveal its secrets, speak to us of many things?

In the morning, when she comes

The bird who wakes you with her song, she’ll beat her wings

She will rise again

And ride a perfect high, and find a sweet seed growing

And never know why she sees anything

One more inch for no more reason

Go without you even yet, and death you sing

Pass it by when one’s discovered

Time to stop wasting time, what will you bring?

You will rise again

And ride a perfect high, and find a sweet seed growing

And never know why you hear anything

Bless the sunlight, grab this day to make you over

Save the bullet, price the sandman’s head

This time do not roll over

Beat your wings

Yeah, hear them sing of up there in the glimpse of silence

Up there

When the days have come to pass

Our journey broken, gone at last, we’ll beat our wings

Shadows take familiar skin

So recognize them, don’t give in, we’ll beat our wings

We will rise again

And ride a perfect high, and find a sweet seed growing

And never know why we feel anything

Yeah, anything

Yeah, beat your wings

Oh, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Now beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Oh, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings…
