In Yr Name 04:16
When the oceans turn to salt And the mountains into plains The Earth will grieve its dying groan In yr name... When the lion falls asleep And the lamb accepts its pain The vulture turns into the sky In yr name... When the family holds its breath As the mother ends her days Down the block a child is born In yr name... When parents come up short And children are left out of the frame Each will play their role to the line In yr name... So I do what my body does 'Cause it never has to explain. And I do my best not to do any harm In yr name... And no matter where I go And whoever I try to save Even those that refuse me They refuse me In yr name... So when I'm far from home Please for me do the same. When I cross every line you have drawn I will do it In yr name...

Oh, I've left these seeds for you, bird That you might decide to choose, bird This window as your home when you do, bird Decide to sing your tune, bird Thank you, but I don't need seeds, sir I just need to sing and to breathe, sir And there's nothing more that I really need, sir As all things pass at their own speed, sir But if you don't eat these seeds, bird Than who's gonna sing and breathe for she, bird When you go and fall out of your tree, bird Just when she needs you more than me, bird Oh, it's true I won't breathe for long, sir And, I will not forever sing my song, sir And, the wind won't forever guide me along, sir No matter that your lady was once strong, sir Oh, what will I do when you go, bird And, the ground gets covered in its snow, bird And, my lady continues to throw, bird Her brain at the wind when it blows, bird Look for me in the day, sir And, look for me in the shade, sir And, although you will not find me in any of these places, sir The looking will make and keep you brave, sir
