We Are Donkeys
Matthew Squires and the Learning Disorders
GENRE Were we right or were we wrong?
Well, we'll never really know
But like donkeys, we will run
After that carrot on a rope
And when we get it
If we get it, that is...
When we get it
If we get it, that is
Will it be like we are younger?
Or braver or stronger or numb-er?
I do not know that much, I just know you
And the way that you laugh
Yes, you. And the curve of your back
Oh, you. You've got such a knack
For getting me grounded
Are you here or are you there?
It depends on where you're not
So bring that grindstone to your ear
And ask it what it wants
And when you hear it
If you hear it, that is...
When you hear it
If you hear it, that is
Do you think it will bring you pleasures?
Or success in this world full of pressures?
Or do you think it will echo through your cells
Like the pulse of a bell?
Through your cells, like a hero through hell?
Through your cells, like a coin down a well?
May you be your own fortune
I watched you as you stumbled through Eden
You were clothed in just your shame and a single leaf
Have you ever hungered for freedom?
Or have you ever wondered what that word means?
We'll find out, baby, when we stop breathin'
And when that moment comes, do not worry
'Cause we're going home...
Well, we'll never really know
But like donkeys, we will run
After that carrot on a rope
And when we get it
If we get it, that is...
When we get it
If we get it, that is
Will it be like we are younger?
Or braver or stronger or numb-er?
I do not know that much, I just know you
And the way that you laugh
Yes, you. And the curve of your back
Oh, you. You've got such a knack
For getting me grounded
Are you here or are you there?
It depends on where you're not
So bring that grindstone to your ear
And ask it what it wants
And when you hear it
If you hear it, that is...
When you hear it
If you hear it, that is
Do you think it will bring you pleasures?
Or success in this world full of pressures?
Or do you think it will echo through your cells
Like the pulse of a bell?
Through your cells, like a hero through hell?
Through your cells, like a coin down a well?
May you be your own fortune
I watched you as you stumbled through Eden
You were clothed in just your shame and a single leaf
Have you ever hungered for freedom?
Or have you ever wondered what that word means?
We'll find out, baby, when we stop breathin'
And when that moment comes, do not worry
'Cause we're going home...
