Origins - Blood Feathers, Mazarin

We’ve been keeping tabs on our history

Cutting little twigs off our family tree

To figure out where we come from

All the people that share our blood

My uncle Jimmy James told an anecdote

I can’t tell if it was a funny joke

It made my daddy laugh

I wish I took a photogram

We’re torn and weathered

Like blood feathers

That fall out of trees

From broken wings

We’ve been keeping tabs on our history

Studying up on our ancestry

To figure out where we come from

All the people that share our blood

It don’t get no easier

To figure out who we are

La da da laddy laddy da

La la la ai da

That’s what we say when we get here

And then when we are leaving here

But it don’t get no easier

To figure out who we are

We’re torn and weathered

Like blood feathers

That fall out of trees

From broken wings

We’re torn and weathered

Like blood feathers

That fall out of trees

From broken wings
