Lyrics Indigo Girls

Indigo Girls

Everything in Its Own Time

Remember everything I told you

Keep it in your heart like a stone

And when the winds have blown

The winds have blown things round and back again

What was once your pain will be your home

All around the table the white haired men have gathered

Spilling their sons' blood like table wine

Remember everything in its own time

The music whispers you in urgency

Hold fast to that language less connection

A thread of known that was unknown and unseen

Seen dangling from inside the fifth direction

Boys around the table mapping out their strategies

Kings all of mountains one day dust

A lesson learned a loving God and things in their strategies

Kings all of mountains one day dust

A lesson learned a loving God and things in their own time

In nothing more do I trust

We own nothing, nothing is ours

Not even love so fierce it burns like baby stars

But this poverty is our greatest gift

The weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift

Remember everything I told you

Keep it in your heart like a stone

And when the winds have blown things round and back again

What was once your pain will be your home

Everything in its own time

Everything in its own time
