*Thank you, Undying Tarantella, for providing the cool music for my lyrics! The city hums The lights don't sleep A thousand voices [echo the word “voices”] Underneath my feet I move when the rhythm tells me I breathe when the whole world breathes But somewhere underneath this skin Something wild is calling me I see green In the cracks of the pavement Little sparks Where the concrete can't hold And I know I have heard this before Something ancient Knocking at the door (door…door…door) It's calling me Calling me... (Calling me...calling me) Make the noise stop I can hear it underneath Unfurl my wings There's still something wild in me It's enough I don't need another cage Set me free Let me disappear into the green (green...green...green...) Set me free (Free... free...) My body knows the rhythm But my spirit knows the sky (sky...sky...sky...) I have worn these human hours Like a borrowed alibi Something here Has survived all the noise (noise…noise…noise…) Something here Still remembers its voice (voice…voice…voice) I remember... I remember... I remember... Make it quiet... Please stop the noise..... Let me hear myself... There. Do you hear it? [very soft vocal, widening with reverb] My wings... Unfurl my (wings) Unfurl my (wings) I was never meant to stay (wings) Make it all stop Make it all stop I'm not living this way (wings) It's enough (wings) It's enough I can feel the earth (wings) beneath Set me free Set me free There's still something wild in me (wings) Wild in me Set me free (wings) Let the whole machine fall away I was born to fly away
