lyrics

She stumbles as she walks
Across the kindergarten field
Listens for the voices of her
Friends with searching ears

Are you Ebony, Are you Ashley?
What exactly is a face?
She only sees the colors
All the lines have been misplaced

One day you will learn my dear
The seer has no eyes
She listens for the truth
And then the spirits start to rise

Between the laughing children
And the chirping of the birds
She can hear the voices
Of the ghosts and their wise words

Only their faint whispers
Guide her through this foggy world
She only sees what others see
On carousel mid-twirl

Are you ugly? Are you pretty?
It remains a mystery
She thought those words were colors
And that people change like trees

One day you will learn my dear
The seer has no eyes
She listens for the truth
She cannot see your flesh disguise

She sits with me by candlelight
Tells me what she sees
How I’m seen by others
In the tarot cards she reads

The cards are Haitian Creole, Spanish,
French, and English, too
But she translates for an ancient man
Who’s dragging a canoe

She feels his pounding heart
The broken blisters on his skin
He says your brother drowned because
The veil grew far too thin

One day you will learn my dear
The seer has no eyes
She listens for the truth and then
The spirits start to rise

One day you will learn my dear
The seer has no eyes
She listens for the truth
She cannot see your flesh disguise

One day you will learn my dear
The seer has no eyes
She listens for the truth and then
The spirits start to rise
