Everything In Its Own Time
Some sage advice and beautiful tones written by Emily Sailers of the Indigo Girls, an American folk-rock duo. She and Amy Ray met in elementary school and formed the Indigo Girls at Emory University in 1985. They have a strong Native American influence and themes in their music. This one has a little bit of a Hispanic feel to the guitar.
Although they are a duo, they write songs separately and have their own distinct styles.
Remember everything I told you
Keep it in your heart like a stone
And when the winds have blown things round and back again
What was once your pain will be your home
All around the table the white haired men have gathered
Spilling their sons' blood like table wine
Remember everything I told you
Everything in its own time
The music whispers you in urgency
Hold fast to that languageless connection
A thread of known that was unknown and unseen seen
Dangling from inside the fifth direction
Boys around the table are mapping out their strategies
Kings all of mountains one day dust
A lesson learned, a loving God, and things in their own time
In nothing more do I trust
We own nothing, nothing is ours
Not even a love so fierce it burns like baby stars
But this poverty is our greatest gift
The weightlessness of us as things around begin to shift
Remember everything I told you
Keep it in your heart like a stone
And when the winds have blown things round and back again
What was once your pain will be your home
Everything in its own time
