about

Bossa Nova sung by Denisovans. Posh!

lyrics

This girl child was born
with perfect skin and a broken heart
but she's gonna be okay
she's gonna find a way over

This boy child was born
with gentle eyes and a twisted tongue
but he's gonna be okay
he's gonna find a way over

Ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo
We all gonna find a way
Ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo
We all gonna find a way
Ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo
We all gonna find a way

Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems so goddamn long
Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems that we went wrong

That man there is hungry
he's been hungry all his life
but he's gonna be ok
he's gonna find a way over

That woman there is bitter
she's been bitter all her life
but she's gonna be okay
she's gonna find a way over

Ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo
Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems so goddamn long
Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems that we went wrong

We come into a room
full of chatter, full of songs,
and they all say the same thing:
we gotta find a way over

And everyone is certain
that their way is the only way
and though they're all mistaken
they'll all find a way over

Like stepping out of the dark
into soft warm summer light
we're all gonna be ok
we'll find a way over

Ooo, ooo ooo, ooo ooo
Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems so goddamn long
Even when it seems like we got lost
Even when it seems that we went wrong
