"Volunteered" lyrics

"Volunteered"

Traveling on the wind, carrying credentials
Abandoning anything strangling potential
Galloping, inhabiting nothing inessential
Scattering, wondering, "Am I incidental?"

Sprout here another year, volunteer

Scavenging, salvaging, rationing for winter
It's challenging, practicing living like beginners
But it's happening, it's dazzling, protections start to splinter
Imagining, ravishing, springing from within her

Sprout here another year, volunteer
Sprout here another year, volunteer
Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer
(Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer)
(Volunteer, volunteer...)
