Original lyrics

EN
Well I was born of the Earth With my hands to the sky And I'll die in the dirt On the fourth of July And my body will burst Into millions of sparks And I'll hang like a ghost In the trailer park until I'm gone And I can hear the wind blow It sounds like angels and babies breath So leave some dirt in my hands Lay my body in the street And I'll be searching out God To lay my stones at her feet And when the winds lay waste To the fields and the stars I'll be spinning my home In the back of your car Until it's done And I can hear the wind blow It sounds like angels and babies breath And I can see my mother's praying hands Like petals in the wind Sweeping across my yard
