quiver

lyrics

tell mama, i'll find my way
I was born from a quiver
a taut bow drawn then released
the canyon is wide as the river is deep
somehow I'll find my place
among second growth forests
pine, fir, and fathers grave
I may always be your child
but I will be brave

to the folks who gave me my name
those kindly young strangers
in that forgotten place
what you keep and what you save are not the same

there's a bell that's still waiting to toll
and a war that's yet to be won
lessons you learn, on your own
when you depend on no one

don't worry your gentle mind
i'm a pistol, a fighter
and the rattle always sounds before a strike
shadows may darken even the brightest light

there's a bell that's still waiting to toll
and a war that's yet to be won
lessons you learn, on your own
when you depend on no one
one day the other shoe will fall
and we'll make our way out of this dark
we'll tear down the walls, that for too long
have been tearing us apart

tell mama, i'll find my way
I was born from a quiver
a taut bow drawn then released
the canyon is wide as the river is deep
