Portugal. The Man - Oh Lord Lyrics

Shepherds they came, stripped of their names
But we were all the daughters that fell from her to ground
Because she needed us, she needed love
But we're all gone to strip that ground

Shivered pores were caves, teeth were all decayed
Jutting, jagged, rising up like welts on backs in strain
Because she needed us, needed love
We're all gone to strip that ground
No man sleeps in the fields in the rain

I said, "oh lord", I said
We climbed up those banks from our place in the shade
Built us a fire but never knew what we made
It's not your mind, self, not your thoughts, not your soul
It's not your mind, self, not your thoughts, not your soul

We are that fire
We are that fire
We are that fire, we

Shepherds they came, stripped of their names
We were all the daughters that fell from her to ground
Because she needed us, she needed love
But we're all gone to strip that ground

Were you safe down in my hands?
The higher we climb
These shapes, shapes show
This place is more holy when nobody knows

Were you safe down in my hands? (Were you safe down in my hands?)
The higher we climb (the higher we climb)
These shapes, shapes show
This place is more holy when nobody knows

You're safe down in line? (Show me what you want)
The higher we climb (what you feel, really real)
These shapes, shapes show (I tell you, oh)
This place is more holy when nobody knows

We climbed up those banks from our place in the shade
Built us a fire but never knew what we made
It's not your mind, self, not your thoughts, not your soul
It's not your mind, self, not your thoughts, not your soul

We are that fire
We are that fire
We are that fire, we

Show me what you (everything is still free)
And I will tell you
It's not your mind, your self, not your thoughts, not your soul
