Laleh - Elephant lyrics

I hear the children play With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail With the guards of the jail I'm thinking of a new name That I could give myself One day I'll be myself Oh, one day I'll be my own It's been forty long years In the desert I have been I've even hit the devil's nose In the desert I have grown And as the woman said That day when I was crying out God puts his diamonds in the sand But then he always takes them back Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free... Have a good day brother Me and your little bro will rise up Like an elephant from the storm In your carefree sleep We will break free... We will break free... And the city will be reborn And the streets will be washed May the streets be clean and washed May the streets be clean and washed And we will wave our hand And everybody will forgive the past

And everybody will forgive the past And everybody will forgive the past And as the woman said That day when I was crying out God puts his diamonds in the sand But then he always takes them back Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free... Have a good day brother You and my little bro will rise up Like an elephant from the storm In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free... Have a good day brother Me and your sister will rise up Like an elephant from the mud In your carefree sleep We will break free We will break free... Have a good day brother You and my little bro will rise up Like an elephant from the storm In their breakfast tea We will break free We will break free... I'm thinking of a new name That I could give myself One day I'll be myself Oh, one day I'll be my own [x2]
