Without Even Trying

The birds come back every year
Yeah, they're playing Chinese checkers in the sky
Each move is chalked out so clear
Yeah, they're playing hopscotch without the lines

Circling now a statue of some poet who has never been here
Every pass a "bless you" to the poet's broken mirror

Show my body what it already knows
Don't let it cross my mind
Let me be led by my ancestor's ghost
'Til I'm dancing without even trying

I have heard them digging
Down in the mountain for some time
Now they've turned to drinking
Thinking there's nothing there to find

But there's gold in that mountain, yeah, the river will carry it out
Soft and slow accountant mining mountains without sound

Show my body what it already knows
Don't let it cross my mind
Let me be led by my ancestor's ghost
'Til I'm dancing without even trying

Lead me with a vision
Pillar of fire in the night
Just beyond my reason
That old emotion in disguise

Past the pride of progress
And the paintings that stain these cave walls
Every step a promise, every instinct true and strong

Show my body what it already knows
Don't let it cross my mind
Let me be led by my ancestor's ghost
'Til I'm dancing without even trying
