lyrics

When this is over
I will spread out wings wide as an Andean bird
Shape my limbs into poses never seen before

After the storm
We will see the underside
Washed up on the shore
I will grow
like a river rose

When this is over
I will speak in tones the world has always heard
Churn out songs to make buried ears burn
And my sighs
Will soar high
When we all return
When this is over
When this is over

When this is over
Grain will grow from my balcony
In honeycombs
Bees will rave about the river rose perfume
I will be home
When this is over
When this is over
