One Thousand Origami Birds

When all you do is ramble
And you ain't got no time for love
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down
Like a paper aeroplane
Like a lonely vagabond
Peace, it is fragile and travels alone
If you don’t talk to strangers you’ll never know
Still trying to fight the battles won
One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying too close to the sun
Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord
When your shoes are all worn through
And your blistered feet are bleeding
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down
Still trying to fix the damage done
One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying to close to the sun
Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord
When your heart is filled with anger
And your eyes can barely see
When your muscles all are burning
And you’ve forgotten your own name
When the road ahead is winding
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down
My darlin’ lay your body down
My darlin’ lay your head down
One thousand origami birds that burnt up flying to close to the sun
Oh, Lord
Peace will come
Oh, Lord
