For a thousand years
I've lay upon the Lake Victoria
I was winged and many-colored
And nobody knew my name
For a thousand years

And I made many songs into the air
And nobody knew my name
I fell like water
In sweet gasps of hydrogen up
Into the sea over the Bikini Islands
And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake
The liquid concrete of down by the river
And nobody knew my name
Now I walk among them and I sing to them
And I open up my wrists
And nobody knows my name
And I translate into many hours of history
But nobody knows my name
I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds
And nobody knows my name
So I walk again

I look at you
Sweet every face
Do you know my name
Do you, do you know my name
Do you know my name
Do you know my name
Say it
Do you know my name
Say it
Do you know my name
Do you know my name
Do you know my
Do you know my name
Do you know my
My...
