Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swears that she's coming
Knows that she's flying
The sky is in question
Something is changing
You don't know if it's right
As the rusty bow carves an old sea to a new land
Mama hold me in your hands, it's in your hands
Your flag is flagging
Empty ocean, dark rain
Oh Mama who are you gonna turn to
When no one knows you
Blue and Yellow hold to her heart
As the rusty bow carves an old sea to a new land
Mama hold me in your hands, it's in your hands
