José González - Every Age Lyrics

José González – Every Age Lyrics

Every age has its turn,
Every branch of the tree has to learn
Learn to grow, find its way
Make the best of this show it’s day

Take the seed, take the 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 a part
In the face of our ancient tribes

Feel so clear, feel so obvious
To each of the own
But we live together,
Ripping what time and what we have sowed.

We don’t choose where we’re born,
We don’t choose in what part or form
But we can learn to know ourselves
on this cloud 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 belong!

[Lyrics to Every Age by José González]
