Lyrics Brave World - Bowerbirds

Brave World

I was a child of the grasslands
With an oversized heart
They gave me an inch
And I’d roam the whole yard
And well past the corn fields
There I’d understand
How the world is dust and I’m dust
And we’re honest
So if you want to play
I’m wide open
I’ll bring my friends Mary and Annie
On down to the quarry
And in the late Autumn sun
We’ll find the words to dwell upon
You said «I'm dust and you’re dust
And we’re honest»
Ooh ooh
My name it means nothing
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
And I was taught by the land
To think right for myself
And that the man knows all the rules
But I know this
Yes and I’m dust and you’re dust
And we’re honest
Oh brave world
How have you changed?
I’m still unsure
Your hat is hung in the very same place
Your shoes are scuffed
Your shirt is untucked
Just more and more impatient
Oh brave world
How have you changed?
I’m still unsure
Your hat is hung in the very same place
Your shoes are scuffed
Your shirt is untucked
Just more and more impatient
