Cicada

Cornelia Murr

Compositor: Cornelia Murr

In seventeen
Summers they’ll be
Ready to
Sing out a heart
No matter whose are
Splitting apart
Ah ha ha ha

Turn me in
To the garden already
You can fight over my body
I’ll keep on growing

Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha

Thank you for your nurture
I'm getting to know my nature
Nobody wants to be unkind

But we’re wild wild wild wild
We’re wild wild wild wild
But we’re wild wild wild wild
We’re wild wild wild wild

I felt my soul
Taking the controls
Tugging at the leaves
Bending all the trees
There was nothing I
Could do
