Everything That Rises Lyrics - Wild Strawberries

There's a penny poised on a whitewashed fence 

And there's a little black boy praying for his government 

There's a nervous lady reaching for her place 

There's a red faced son running from his race 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge 

This is my country, this is your sign 

And we are painting fences, drawing lines 

Well, I don't know much about anything 

And I don't know much about conversation 

Look at me, look at me giving my weakness away 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge 

Do you know Coventry ribbons and bows 

She will throw confetti in your soul 

'Cause we don't know much about anything 

And we don't know much about conversation 

Look at me, look at me giving my weakness away 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises 

Everything that rises must converge
