lirik lagu tether (live) – indigo girls
[verse 1]
whatever it was, it wasn’t manumission—
to spill the blood, to pull the weed
you can bury the past, but it’s a mausoleum
with the ghost of a fist won’t let us be
[chorus]
can we bring it together?
and can we call from the mountain to the valley below?
can we make it better?
and do we tether the hawk or do we tether the dove?
[verse 2]
i kicked up the dirt, and i said to my neighbor
“we keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong”
he tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter
“wе need a few less words dear, wе need a few more guns”
[chorus]
oh, will it bring us together?
can we call from the mountain to the valley below?
and will it make it better?
do we tether the hawk or do we tether the dove?
[bridge]
enduring love
why so much and so strong, beyond this short existence?
don’t be still
you say there’s a long line behind you
and it’s hardly worth the mentioning
oh, but i will
’cause we may fl!cker and fade
but we never will be through with this
[verse 3]
well, i see this world battered but not broken
there’s a fallow heart, it’s waiting on a sowing hand
you can grow what you want, but one day it’s gonna rise up
so plant what you need to make a better stand
[chorus]
and we’ll bring it together
and we’ll call from the mountain to the valley below
and we’ll make it better
we’ll let go of the hawk, we’ll let go of the dove
(now i sing to you)
can we bring it together? (all you true believers)
and we’ll call from the mountain to the valley below
(with the strength to see this and not be still)
(i’m telling you now, i’m telling you now)
can we make it better? (find the hope that feeds you)
do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
(don’t let ’em bleed you of your will)
[outro]
thanks y’all.
