This is the battle cry of a teenager who is frustrated at people telling her how she should be living her life.
lyrics
How long will you make me wonder,
Waiting in the rain?
How long must I go on fighting?
How long must I wait?
I'd leave tomorrow,
If I ruled my own life,
With or without your victory run,
Listen to the songs and the calling,
You'll know in time, what your dreams are for,}
I will go home now - back to the place I know,
By tree, blade and thorn I swear I'll know,
By tree, blade and thorn I swear I'll know.
Lost I'll be and lost I'll stay,
If I ignore my dreams.
To the lime, down by the blackthorn,
Hold faith to your dreams,
Lugh and Rhiannon,
The horses the horned god,
Ravens of war circle o'er my head.
Listen to the songs and the calling,
You'll know in time, what your dreams are for,}
I will go home now - back to the place I know,
By tree, blade and thorn I swear I'll know,
Live for the wild I swear you'll know.
Sow the seeds of a maple leaf, by the woodcock's lie, where the wild boar sleeps,
Sing for the seagull - go my way,
Execute your swift escape,
Day tripper on the breeze,
Life in each shade of green,
Day tripper on the breeze,
Life in each shade of green
White sow of night, Cerridwen give us sight
White sow of night, Cerridwen give us sight,
Listen to the songs and the calling,
You'll know in time, what your dreams are for,}
I will go home now - back to the place I know,
By tree, blade and thorn I swear I'll know,
Live for the wild I swear you'll know.
