i saw her fly to america
i saw her swim to antartica
i saw her running down to the noisy street
i heard her sing, as she flew to america
i saw the fish as she swam the way she swam
i couldn't help but notice
she was so alone
i wanted to reach out to the little one
i wanted to let her know she's not alone
like, duh, she didn't know that
i still wanted to let her know that
(chorus)
here they come with all their frippery
here they are with all their machinery
here they are, running after her
not a chance they can catch her
here they are, pulling on her golden braids
here they are, digging all our damn graves, yeah
here they are, running after her
not a chance they can catch up to her
they can never run with the wind
i saw her speaking truth out loud
i saw her facing the old men crowds
i saw her engineering a bridge
i couldn't help but notice
i couldn't help but feel afraid
i wanted to reach out to the little one
i wanted to let her know she's not alone
like, duh, she didn't know that
i still wanted to let her know that
(chorus)
here they come with all their frippery
here they are with all their machinery
here they are, running after her
not a chance they can catch her
here they are, pulling on her golden braids
here they are, digging all our own damn graves, yeah
here they are, running after her
not a chance they can catch up to her
they can never run with the wind
i hope this one shining light
can last on the coldest night
can beckon shadows
from deep in the forest
i hope this one shining light
can last in the heat of the night
can beckon all the shadows
from deep in the forest
come with us
come with us
tag along, sing a song
come with us
come with us
we're a little less alone
we're not scared anymore
love
