Guided by Voices

Beat Your Wings

Will the wind that scatters dust

Reveal its secrets, speak to us

Of many things?

In the morning when she comes

The bird who wakes you with her song

She'll beat her wings

She will rise again

And ride a perfect high

And find a sweet seed growing

And never know why

She sees anything

One more inch for no more reason

Go without you even yet

And death you sing

Pass it by with once discovered

Time to stop wasting time

What will you bring?

You will rise again

And ride a perfect high

And find a sweet seed growing

And never know why

You hear anything

Bless the sunlight

Grab this day to make you over

Save the bullet

Price the sandman's head

This time do not roll over

Beat your wings

Yeah, hear them sing

Of up there in the glimpse of silence

Up there

When the days have come to pass

Our journey broken, gone at last

We'll beat our wings

Shadows take familiar skin

So recognize them, don't give in

We'll beat our wings

We will rise again

And ride a perfect high

And find a sweet seed growing

And never know why

We feel anything

Yeah, anything

Yeah, beat your wings

Oh, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Now beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings

Yeah, beat your wings
