Lyrics

Sometime, anytime you wanna bellow at the sky
Call on me, call on me
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
You ask me why I sing softer now
And did the world beat me down?
Cause 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
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
We'll unzip the horizon with our voices
Please don't give up, please don't lose that sound
Every breath I take has been taken before
Every note's been sung
Who can I sing them all again for?
Baba, Baba 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
