Devin Townsend - Sprite Lyrics

Once upon a time, in a tiny little
Town, in a tiny little house
Where no one came around
There lived a bird who was just so sad
For this little bird didn't have
A mom or a dad he had forgotten how to fly
And he had lost the will to try
Until one day, a bear came around
And the bird heard it's terrible sound
And through his fear, his courage did appear
He lifted once more from the ground

Show me through your animal heart
And not through your mind
You and I can't find our "one"
Throws me naked into the eternal
Don't go now you and I run

In a world that's so inviting
Find your own sanctuary and play along

Show me to the fundamental tenet
Hard times have come to return
You and I can't find our "one"

(Everyone, everybody everyone, everybody)
In a world that's subdivided
Hold your own ceremony, and carry on

Soul, soul and the body are broken hearted
So, sons and your daughters
Are broken hearted
But know, only the body is broken, hardened

Show me to the fear that's in your mind
Show me through your animal heart
And not through your mind
(You and I can't find our one)

(Everyone, everybody everyone, everybody)
In a world that's self-divided
You count your hopes, face the morning
And pray along

Think of everyone you know
Everybody is broken
Take a look around, everyone is sad
Monsters and robots are broken hearted
Octopus lovers are broken hearted
Dad in the garden, all broken hearted
Thank you for the morning and the light
But more than this
Thank you for keeping trying
Slow progress is still progress
