White Feathers

Send me white feathers
for me to wear
and everyone will see
what becomes of me
it's fair it's not fair
why I must stay civilian
and after the ice games
on whose shoulders will you ride?

Not all of us who fall are pushed
and some of us are falling freely

Send me white feathers
remind me again
I've nothing to lose
and nothing to win
it's mine then it's not mine
and so I'll keep myself to myself
it's over in minutes
and it's with you for years

Not all of us who fall are pushed
and some of us are falling freely

A cause for everyone
a sight for all to see
when it's closer to midnight
further and further and further and further

Not all of us who fall are pushed
and some of us are falling freely

Send me white feathers
for me to wear
and everyone will see
Send me white feathers...
