Lyrics José González – Every Age
Text:
Every age has its turn
Every branch of the tree has to learn
Learn to grow, find its way
Make the best of this short lived stay
Take this seed, take this spade
Take this dream of a better day
Take your time, build a home
Build a place where we all can belong
Some things change, some remain
Some will pass us unnoticed by
What to focus on, to improve upon
In the face of our ancient drives
Feels so clear, feels so obvious
To each one on their own
But we are here, together
Reaping what time and what we have sown
We don’t choose where we’re born
We don’t choose in what pocket or form
But we can learn to know
Ourselves on this globe in the void
Take this mind, take this pen
Take this dream of a better land
Take your time, build a home
Build a place where we all can belong
