Tether [Live]
Indigo Girls F
Whatever it was, it wasn't manumission To spill the blood, to pull the weed You can bury the past but it's a mausoleum With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together? Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better? Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
I kicked up the dirt and I said to my neighbor We keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong He tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter We need a few less words dear, we need a few more guns
But will it bring us together? Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? And will it make it better? Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
Enduring love Why so much and so strong Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Beyond this short existence?
Don't be still, you say there's a long line behind you And it's hardly worth the mentioning But I will 'cause we may flicker and fade But we never will be through with this
I see this world battered but not broken There's a fallow heart, it's waiting on a sowing hand You can sow what you want but one day it's gonna rise up So plant what you need to make a better stand
And we'll bring it together And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below And we'll make it better Let go of the hawk, we let go of the dove
Now I sing to you, all you true believers With the strength to see this and not be still I'm telling you now, find the hope that feeds you Don't let 'em bleed you of your will
