From the tiger we learn tenacity and power. From the dragon we learn to ride the wind.

lyrics

I should probably maybe just let you know
Incidentally
That I come from a place that is covered up in snow
For maybe ten months out of every year
Before the river starts to run
Before the surface begins to crack
There’s an impenetrable layer of ice
Protecting what is underneath
Incidentally

If you want to make sure
You have a little water in the morning
You have to make sure
To let a little water trickle all night
If you want to make sure
You have a little water in the morning
You have to make sure
To let a little water trickle all night

Tiger on one forearm, dragon on the other
Tiger on one forearm, dragon on the other

If you happen to ask
Or if you happen to discover
There’s a trick to making the seasons all change
From one season to another
It has to do with finding the right rope
And it has to do with holding on
And it has to be long and strong enough
And it has to reach clear around the other side
And it can’t slip an inch as the world is turning
Incidentally

I should probably maybe just let you know
Incidentally
That I come from a place that is covered up in snow
