Solid Dirt

Take me to the solid dirt
Invert this land
Let the stains revert
Unfold who we are
Through every scar
They used to shine like medals and stars

Take me to where the daughters swim
To tease the boys
Hearts filled to the brim
Make me believe
Your heart will not flee
Into the horizon
Towards the endless sea

Once
I was just a boy
With the urge
To destroy

Once
I was just a boy
With scars
To deploy

Take me to the spring that scatters
Its restless wings
Among our hearts
And we shall prevail
From this air
That breathes
Through us everywhere

Once
I was just a boy
With a need
To destroy
Now
I will be a man
I will rise
From this land

Let the bells ring
Let the air sing
Let the hearts bring
Their scars and submit to spring
Let the bells ring
Let the air sing
Let the hearts bring
Their scars and submit to spring
