lyrics

Some starlight fell onto earth
Cresting crown, we took our birth
Gathered the ground, grew from her belly round
Somehow we forgot, our diamond squandered and lost

Beneath the water...
Beneath the water...
There is life

There's no need for the damage
That hearts suffer when they are not honored
Somewhere I'm holding a vision strong and pure
That people will rise from their knees, strong and sure

Beneath the water...
Beneath the water...
We send it to our daughters
We send it to our brothers
So come alive, come alive

There's something persistent and pulsing, mother's mouth
Something as basic as breathing, as reaching out
She's shaking these walls that we can spend our whole lives building up
But I speak for the rebel who spends his whole life breaking down
Break down the walls
Break down the walls
Break down... the walls
