  • The warm open wind on my skin
    Primordial plants glistening
    With moisture direct it at me
    Erect my hair fossilized
    With salt and crust

    Allow, allow, allow
    Allow you to grow
    Allow, allow, allow, allow
    Allow, allow, allow
    Allow me to grow
    (Allow, allow, to grow)

    I look up at the treetops
    I will braid those twigs together
    Create a cathedral ceiling above me
    How I long to float there midair
    Between the branches
    Amongst impossible magic

    Allow, allow, allow
    Allow, allow (you to grow)
    Allow it to happen
    Allow, allow, allow
    Allow, allow

    I made a moon, translucent
    I put it outside for someone like you
    How mysterious I must feel to you
    The universe and the sky too
    My little phoenix
    When you burst out a song from my lips, oh Writer/s: Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Emilie Nicolas
