"1000 Years" lyrics - PORTUGAL. THE MAN

PORTUGAL. THE MAN
"1000 Years"
(John Baldwin Gourley)

First I stand then I die
I became all mankind
As I drip from my eyes
I washed away to a smaller size

[Chorus:]
We'll wait 1000 years until the end of time
We'll wait 1000 more dressed up in gold and white
We'll climb the mountain sides to find what's in the sky
We'll dig through mountain sides to find what's deep inside

If we see what we need
But it don't match what we do
If we try would we find
What we need is more than time

[Chorus:]
We'll wait 1000 years until the end of time
We'll wait 1000 more dressed up in gold and white
We'll climb the mountain sides to find what's in the sky
We'll dig through mountain sides to find what's deep inside

I've got everything you need
The friends you help need everything
What you need, what you need
You can help out all your friends in need
But the friends you help need everything
What you need, what you need

First you stand then you crawl
Then you sleep to be reborn

[Chorus:]
We'll wait 1000 years until the end of time
We'll wait 1000 more dressed up in gold and white
We'll climb the mountain sides to find what's in the sky
We'll dig through mountain sides to find what's deep inside

You can help out all your friends in need
But the friends you help need everything
What you need, what you need
I've got everything you need
The friends you help need everything
What you need, what you need
What you need, what you need
