[Verse #1]
See my understanding eyes
I practice in the mirror so
I know they look right
This, I fear, may be a bitter path
Lean into the gravity and land
You won't budge, oh, mountainside
Oh, redwood tree whose roots run wide and
Should you bend, you snap right back
Unchanged except stronger, perhaps
[Chorus]
You're just a blue jay
You just push and take
Impose your will again
[Verse #2]
See these hands
They smell of books
Mischievous and underfoot and
I will cross your snowy peaks
I'll roll your stones and leap your streams
[Chorus]
You're just a blue jay
You just push and take
Impose your will again
[Bridge]
You won't change
It's like blood from a stone
The blood will be my own
[Outro]
Blue jay-jay
Just push and take
You jay-jay
Just push and take
Impose your will again
