evolution
Katie Sky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Changes are in the wind
It′s happening, people are fearful
Fearing the unknown but watching it grow
In the atmosphere, well it burns sometimes so I shed my skin
The scars that had been lost to the wind

Watch me rise up from the water's
To find my feet again

To fit into my new bones
Set my eyes on the horizon
To take a step and fall
Looking for my new home
I′m looking for my new home

There's no other way
Just take a leap of faith
We get high just to feel the fall
We play God just to find it all
Ten feet beneath the ground
Felt like i've been lost ′till now
We play God just to find it all
Just call it evolution baby
Just call it evolution baby, oh

I made a decision, with a vision in my mind
Not to drift into the crowd but to claim my own ground
And as the feathers fall away, I still remain
And i′ll see everything I ever dream turn into flames

Watch me rise up from the water's
To find my feet again
To fit into my new bones
Set my eyes on the horizon
To take a step and fall
Looking for my new home
Looking for my new home

There′s no other way
Just take a leap of faith
We get high just to feel the fall
We play God just to find it all
Ten feet beneath the ground
Felt like i've been lost ′till now
We play God just to find it all
Just call it evolution

Like winter into spring
Just call it evolution, ouh
And I won't regret a thing
No, I won′t regret a thing, ho ouh

There's no other way
Just take a leap of faith
We get high just to feel the fall
We play God just to find it all
Ten feet beneath the ground
Felt like i've been lost ′till now
We play God just to find it all
Just call it evolution baby
Just call it evolution baby, oh oh

Just call it evolution, ouh ouh
Call it evolution, yeah

Call it evolution, yeah
Yeah, yeah
