ear to the ground

i've been wondering

waiting for something to give;

i won't be a heroine -

i'm just looking for something to live by. and there are lesions in the soil

and there pockets of pain where the shadows lie

and there are voices in the ocean

and there is something in the sky. a mother should say

a father should say

oh you

look up

look down

keep your ear to the ground. it's washing over me

it's spinning under me

and am i looking up at the angels

or am i really looking up at the clouds passing by?

and when i say i'm listening

why is it i only hear you when you cry?

a mother should say

a father should say

keep your ear to the ground

keep your ear to the ground

keep your ear to the ground.
