lyrics

Lean oh lightly like the rain, child
Ain’t he pretty?
Smiling like a king in anxious flight
Hold on to each tethered rope swing
For there may not be another chance
To go this high

Oh the sweet of city streets is poor
Ain’t the holiness you’re waiting for
Take the ore and call it fortune from before

We are boys who play in sprinklers
Girls who war in rivers
Boat and ropes our Palestine
Kick your heels your canvas sneakers
Live a life released
‘Cause even when you’re small time flies

Oh the sweet of city streets is poor
Ain’t the holiness you’re waiting for
Take the ore and call it fortune from before

Rain falling like a gray dove
Green too young to make sense of
Bay as we change and come to
Raining new lace for the bayou
