lyrics

My body is the earth
My flesh is clay
My vision is the sun that illumines the day
I’ve walked amongst the living and I’ve tried to believe
I’ve tried to fit in and I’ve tried to achieve
But the ways of mankind just resembled disease
So scared of one another that we can’t stand peace
But GENTLE waves upon the sand are what shapes the beach
I have so much to learn and so much to teach

Embracing every terror
Drinking every joy
Praying in the moonlight
Each step we will enjoy

The wound heals the healer
Through open skin the spirit breathes
The broken flesh of our lives
May find relief in the breeze
What we need is not more anger
But the courage to breathe
So take up your aching body and allow to receive
I want to see you revel in the palace of your heart
I want to hear your lips sing a light in the dark
I want to feel your strength as your eyes widen and spark
This brew is not so bitter, just pleasantly tart!

Embracing every terror
Drinking up the joy
Praying in the moonlight
Each step we will enjoy

If I scribble another line will the earth be saved?
If I find my true nature will my stress fade away?
Can I give my whole life for A truth I can’t see?
Is there a secret part of you that looks exactly like me?
Beyond the towering walls of reason is there a place to be free?
Can I unite with I to sever the ties and just be?
Is there a purpose to these verses? To some the answers are so plain…
Yes. We need to live the questions, not be mired in shame!

Embracing every terror
Drinking up the joy
Praying in the moonlight
Each step we will enjoy
