lyrics

I know you feel like an old man
Weakened by the hand unseen
Its grip is tight around your throat
You cannot breathe, you cannot scream
But there is a grace
When you’re on your knees
You call his name, and save your life!

“Kiwi!”
Speak to him
Ask him how to use your muscles
“Kiwi!”
It’s easy
You will gain the power you’re missing
To save your life

You did nothing wrong
And you don’t deserve this
I can’t comfort you
Other than to say:

I know sometimes you feel like
Nothing more than a link in a chain
Rusted to a tanker lost out of harbour
Steered by a madness you don’t understand
I know that you think you’re done
And they’ve won
This is when you honour the seed
Sown into you by your mother
Deliver the blow
The crown was made to fit your head

“Kiwi!”
Speak to him
Ask him how to use your muscles
“Kiwi!”
It’s easy
You will gain the power
To save your life

“Kiwi!”
Amazing
How you’ve learnt to flex those muscles
“Kiwi!”
Get ready to be all you are
And save your life
