Bellow

Sometime, anytime you wanna bellow at the sky

Call on me, call on me

We'll unzip the horizon with our voices.

Unzip the horizon with our voices

You ask me why I sing softer now,

And did the world beat me down?

Cuz back then I sang hard, I sang proud,

But where are the edges now?

Ukrainian summer before the revolution.

I sat at the knees of the grandmother

Her daughter told me we could lift the veil,

Between the worlds by singing.

We were sat outside in the dawn light

Of the midsummer feast and the short night.

Singing to the dead so they'd bless the crop,

Bless the young, bless the year

We'll unzip the horizon with our voices.

Sometime, anytime you wanna bellow at the sky

Call on me, call on me

We'll unzip the horizon with our voices.

This is the way we call the unknown,

And lift the veil to the other side.

We're singing to break the walls down, the walls down.

Throwing the gate open wide.

Every breath I take has been taken before

Every note's been sung.

Who can I sing them all again for?

Baba, Baba Baba

Please don't give up - please don't lose that sound

So many people fought to gain that ground

Please don't give up – please don't hide your voice

So many people did not have that choice.

She told me the power of song was in the unison.

She gathered her friends all around her

And they pierced the sky with a call - one melody from many voices

And from then til now, I remember,

When the year is fat, and full of shadows.

I'm singing to the dead so they'll bless the crop,

Bless the young, bless the year.
