lyrics

Fold up your hand youngest one
The dough is yet to rise.
How dare you think that your strength
Comes from inside?
Just like these lowlands I love
You are not your own.
I'll sing your praises with my
Fingers.

Admire the plastic bags that
We keep in a vase.
Grown in the community
Garden down the block.
When bloom I watch these
Plastic lungs take in the air.
Given life only to
Collapse against the stair.

Become my voice and I swear
I'll never say a word.
I'll bring the view into my head
So you can take us there.
God, let a crack move through me
And tear up every seam.
Maybe someday you'll speak through me
And you'll say everything.

Admire the plastic bags that
We keep in a vase.
Grown in the community
Garden down the block.
When bloom I watch these
Plastic lungs take in the air.
Given life only to
Collapse against the stair.

Where have my weaknesses gone,
How is it that I stand
With weight that's all my own
And so much in my hand?
All of those pretty plastic bags
Carried home filled with air
Something deflated enfolds me
And then it sets me free.
