Into the Open Air (From "Brave") - Julie Fowlis

This This weary place Wanted a song, and the pow-pow-powers are getting love God divine Weeping in shadows, sun on his lips Into the large air, into the large air So godly from the sun they turn See the meadow, feel the free wind Behind heavy flowers and dark cold colours Heavy flowers and dark Dark cold colours Dark, dark cold colours Hear it on the western beach Thunder, lightning We're in school Dark grey songs make sara like the sea With every note of music in his tone Wading tides, wise man King domination, king domination King! King, king King! King, king King, king King! King, king No wiser are we than the man to come When the gods, and the lochs, and the sun do rejoice Soon the flood will make green our human shores, our human shores Burn our woods without the gods dethroned And the empires of the past Divided in compromise and worthless soil Apprehensive, watch our energy break ground The uniforms, notions of power That power knows no bounds, it knows no bounds That power knows no bounds 'cause it's corrupt It knows no bounds 'cause it's corrupt There's nothing but the masses to deal with Masses to deal with Mass! Mass, mass Mass! Mass, mass Mass! Mass, mass Ugh! Sitting patiently in there Fancy fascinations Fascinations Passing by on wanted wishes of control and love Of control and love It's the love of control that stops the sound Starts the breath Governs us in order, us in order With no exceptions between statutes of wealth And statutes obscene Fears diluted by us now Fears diluted by us now We are mixed emotion Mixed congregation Mixed emotion Mixed congregation Mixed emotion Mixed congregation Mixed emotion Mixed congregation Mixed emotion Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power Power

You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle 'neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave Just wanna see you Just wanna see you I wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down By the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bow down to the mighty But don't run Stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave Innocence, your history of silence Won't do you any good Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don't you tell them the truth? Say what you wanna say Let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say Let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave
