"Nausicaä" lyrics

We'll make a bridge from our bones
To an island of gold
Where the shapeless are shown
And the ancient fade away
While the young will roam

She's walking on the wires above the clouds
She's trying to find her balance, but she'll fall down
She's static while the world spins around
She's trying to find a way off the merry-go-round
She's tumbling down

All the birds, near and far
Will start to flock to her
But her winged, heavy heart
Has been clipped beyond repair
'Cause she's been betrayed
All by her own constant inability
Her eyes wander up
Into a realm of endless possibility

Gazing at infinity
Waiting to see anything
When nothing ever shows
But the clouds 'cause she knows...

She dances in dalliance with the air
It's rushing through her hair
She catches the wind, and she rides it where
She can disappear

Bright in the sky
She shines like a satellite that won't align

All the shades of the blue
That she could not have foreseen
Coalesce all around
As they shift and defy belief
No longer afraid, caught in the fall
Before she touched the ground
She's found a place that she can belong
Where airships sail, bound for sights unknown

(We'll make a bridge from our bones)
(To an island of gold)
(Where the shapeless are shown)
(And the ancient fade away while the young will roam)
We'll make a bridge
From our bones (We'll make a bridge from our bones)
To an island (To an island of gold)
Of gold
Where the shapeless (Where the shapeless are shown)
Are shown (and the ancient fade away)
While the young will roam
She's tumbling down

She dances in dalliance with the air
It's rushing through her hair
She catches the wind, and she rides it where
She can disappear

Like a bird she flies away into uncertainty
Born and raised to feel the weight
Of wind beneath her feet
