Shatter (live) (7:25)

SHATTER

Someone tried to bottle this restless wind
Won’t let them do it again
Tried to tell me where to begin
And where to end
Now the wind’s stirred up
I’m looking for a change
Seems I’ve been here so long
feels so strange to me

Tried to leave but someone held my wings
Tried to raise my voice to the sky
but I couldn’t sing
Searched the sunset for my song.
Let my pain sleep with the dust and
my hope rise with the dawn

These old bones are knocking at my skin
These old bones are walking on ice that getting thin
And if I have to be the one
To make a mirror of this wall
Shatter it all

Tell a child it’s impossible, they’ll try it anyway.
Dampen their fire long enough, you’ll smother their faith.
Why plant a flower in unyielding ground.
Why tell the nightingale not to make a sound.

Tell me I can’t walk again and I’ll run
Tell me I can’t shine and I’ll chase the sun
Lock the door and throw away the key.
Walls can’t hold a spirit that sings to be free

These old bones are knocking at my skin
These old bones are walking on ice that getting thin
And if I have to be the one
To make a mirror of this wall
Shatter it all


Take me, Break me, Shake me, shake me
Go on and set me free.
I wanna cry, I wanna cry,
I wanna die to this.
I wanna dream, I wanna spread my wings.
I wanna sing my song.
Make a mirror of this wall and shatter.
Shatter it all

Make me strong like a little child
Paint me like the flowers in the field so wild and free
