From the recording Numbers
Lyrics
Bluebird
In the silence never heard
Will the bluebird sing?
Broken power broken word
In what tomorrow brings
In the silence never heard
The harbour of a womb
First breath of our waking world
When love was all we knew
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were fooled by this
In the laughter of my mind
Will the madness sing
Making sense of this humankind
Ain’t what the silence brings
Every stage come a man of the hour
To a hollow applause
Pay no mind for bloodied babies in arms
When it’s all for the greater cause
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were fooled by this
We were played by this
We were taken by this
We were shamed by this
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were born into this
We were fooled by this
We were born into this
