lyrics

Make me an instrument
When I wander around with my mind turned down
I’m just a drop in a cloud
My feet hit the ground
And I become the sound of the future
I am not a person
I called you from Berlin
Hanging on your life
I woke up the timeline
Just to say

You’ve got it alright
What kind of night could leave you no pain
What kind of light gives feet to the flame
I’ll be alive in it ringing
Always the same
Alive to the sound of the rain
Taking pleasure in words
Chasing my claim into the distance
My resistance that we could remain

Make me an instrument
When the long dark cloud puts its feet on the ground
I’m just hanging around
In love with the sound
Digging the ground
If only to hit a firm foundation
A new day escaping
Circling your life
I woke up the timeline
Just to say

You’ve got it alright
What kind of night could leave you no pain
What kind of light gives feet to the flame
I’ll be alive in it now and always the same
Bird songs, spitting rain
Altar calls, making a claim into the distance
The insistence that we would remain

You’ve got it alright
What kind of night could leave you no pain
You’ve got it alright
Some kind of instrument following the name of the
Night songs, earthquakes, water rise
Sinking a claim into the distance
The insistence that we could remain
