Lyrics
[intro]
[Hurdy-gurdy solo]
[Verse 1]
Dust, not feathers
I'm shakin' on the floor, but I want to fly
Hopin' that it will get better, yeah
A television teases paradise
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
[drum solo]
[Verse 2]
Words taste bitter
Frozen every time I see a pair of eyes
Momma, can I sleep forever?
Wake me when the birds light up the sky
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
[Verse 3]
Now I'm flyin' and, and everything feels so free
Take me high, yeah, take me
Now I'm flyin' and, and with these broken wings, take me high, yeah
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
[bass solo]
[Verse 4]
Dust, not feathers
I'm prayin' on my knees, 'cause I want to fly
Daddy, can you change the weather? (yeah)
Show me how the raindrops turn to life (get up)
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
[Outro]
Now I'm flyin' and, and everything feels so free
Take me high, yeah, take me
Now I'm flyin' and, and with these broken wings, take me high, yeah
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
[Ending]

[bridge]
[Verse 5]
Dust, not feathers
I'm prayin' on my knees, 'cause I want to fly
Daddy, can you change the weather? (yeah)
Show me how the raindrops turn to life (get up)
[Chorus]
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Get up, get up, get up, feather
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
[Outro]
Now I'm flyin' and, and everything feels so free
Take me high, yeah, take me
Now I'm flyin' and, and with these broken wings, take me high, yeah
Be fre-e-e-e-e-e-e!
