How much have you grown
Pain from pearls, hey little girl
Flower for the ones you've known
Are you on fire from the years?
And what would you give for your kid fears?
Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside
Are you on fire from the years?
And what would you give for your kid fears?
Kid fears
Skipping stones, we know the price now
And any sin will do
How much further, if you can spin
How much further, if you are smooth
Are you on fire ''(are you on fire)''
From the years ''(from the years?)''
What would you give for your kid fears?
''(what would you give)''
''(what would replace the rent with the stars above)''
''(replace the rent with the stars above)''
[replace the need with love]
(replace the need with love)
[replace the anger with the tide]
(replace the anger with the tide)
[replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love]
(replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love)
ah the ones that you love
are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
from all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
what would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
[what would you give]
for your kid fears
(for the ones that you love)
(the ones that you love)
hold on now
are you on fire
(replace the rent with the stars above)
[are you on fire]
from all the years
(replace the need with love)
[from the years]
and what would you give
(replace the anger with the tide)
for your kid fears
[what would you give]
(for the ones that you love)
what would you give
(the ones that you love)
for your kid fears?
[what would you give]
what would you give for your kid fears
your kid fears
hey kids
hold on

Indigo Girls are an American folk rock music duo from Atlanta, Georgia, United States, consisting of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. The two met in elementary school and began performing together as high school students in Decatur, Georgia, part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. They started performing with the name Indigo Girls as students at Emory University, performing weekly at The Dugout, a bar in Emory Village.
They released a full-length record album entitled Strange Fire in 1987, and contracted with a major record company in 1988. After releasing nine albums with major record labels from 1987 through 2007, they formed the IG Recordings company in 2009 and resumed self-producing albums.
Outside of working on Indigo Girls–related projects, Ray has released solo albums and founded a non-profit recording label that promotes independent musicians. Saliers is an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry as well as a professional author; she also collaborates with her father, Don Saliers, in performing for special groups and causes. Saliers and Ray are both lesbians, though not a romantic couple, and are active in political and environmental causes. They are regarded as queer icons.
I love this song. One of the truly great debut albums of modern music, combined with the singer of my (at the time) favorite American band. Combine that with a now bit simplistic, but at age 19 heavy, subject matter... what's not to love about this song.
Besides, I'm a sucker for harmonies.
Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of galactic presidential campaigns loves this beautiful song... we be dancing like bowlegged gypsy muleskinners... love sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll... Radio Paradise is the best radio station in the nearest 430,000 galaxies... hope life is grand for you these days, Tippster... thank you...
Nailed it.
Wow. I second that sentiment! And I'm in raleigh ( clayton) too!!
This may be Lazarus' best post ever.

We were blown away at how good they were, and this song in particular, when Michael Stipe came out to join in, was extremely powerful.
One of those tunes that needs to be listened to rather than heard-playing.
Indeed. Powerful lyrics, too. Chills every time. 10.

Yes. The lyrics are pretty crushing.
edit: Michael Stipe really brings something extra to this song. Nice.
