As we look to the sky There's fear in our eyes Fear in our eyes Circle wagons and say "It's been a difficult time A difficult time" At the tables we pray Look to the earth and we pray That it's gonna be alright But when we look to the sky There's fear in our eyes Call off your dogs, it's resounding Fighting water won't stop you from drowning I am not a vessel, I am a missile Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall Rising rivers hold at the banks Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call Most trees bend but they don't break You're falling with open hands Which makes perfect sense It makes perfect sense And, like Icarus, your wings You're giving into the heat The sun's last defense And as you tremble and pray Look to the earth and you pray Despite what you'd meant Falling with open hands is our only defense Waiting for the sky to fall, but the sky don't fall Rising rivers hold at the banks Even when the clouds arrive and the cold winds call Most trees bend but they don't break Most trees bend but they don't break Most trees bend but they don't break
