Sprite - Devin Townsend

Once upon a time, in a tiny little town in a tiny little house, where no one

came around

There lived a bird who was just so sad

For this little bird didn’t have a mom or a dad

He had forgotten how to fly, and he had lost the will to try

Until one day a bear came around, and the bird heard its terrible sound

And through his fear, his courage did appear

He lifted once more from the ground

Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind

You and I can’t find our 'one'

Throws me naked into the eternal don’t go now

You and I run

In a world that’s so inviting

Find your own sanctuary and play along

Show me to the fundamental tenet, hard times have come to return

You and I can’t find our 'one'

Everybody, everyone in a world thats subdivided

Hold your own ceremony, and carry on

Soul, soul and the body are broken hearted

So, sons and your daughters are broken hearted

But know, only the body is broken, hardened

Show me to the fear that’s in your mind

Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind!

(You and I can’t find our one)

In a world that’s self-divided

You count your hopes, face the morning, and pray along

Think of everyone you know, everyone is broken

Take a look around, everyone is sad

Monsters and robots are broken hearted

Octopus lovers are broken hearted

Dad in the garden, all broken hearted

Thank you for the morning and the light

But more than this, thank you for keeping trying

Slow progress is still progress!

Hold the world in your heart

I’m so afraid to say anything now

Hold the world in your heart

I won’t let you fall
