Pharaohs and Friends - Sofia Talvik

My lung is hurting and I’m losing half my sight

But I’ll put on my lashes and a halo for the night

I will tell you stories about the seven seas

Of monsters and of dragons, heroic princesses

In the enchanted forest I will let your mind go wild

You thought God would be a soldier

But she’s just a little child

I’m working on a puzzle

But the pieces are a mess

I keep pushing the agenda

Like it were a game of chess

I will tell you stories of pharaohs and friends

Of the ones who live in shadows

You know how this story ends

In little town and big town

You let your mind go wild

Expecting God to be a soldier

When she’s just a little child

And though my heart is rushing

It’s skipping every beat

Have you ever felt the gravity

It’s your own damn heavy feet

And I can tell you stories

Of pirates and a pea

But you’ll just keep deciding

What you see and do not see

In the tower on the mountain

She let her mind go wild

Expecting God to be a soldier

When she’s just a little child

In this world of lies and half truths

I closed my eyes and smiled

If you thought god would be a soldier

You are just a little child
