Intro

There is water
in every place
and water is
rivers and oceans and lakes
and we drink it

Also, there is wood
which is for building
everything where we live
wood is from trees
and forests and things

And then there
is all the fire
which burns and melts
the trees and woods and wooden homes
and all the fire
is killed by water
in every place
and water is pools and
puddles and rain

Tangly

William James
Spoke of the waves
Of consciousness
Under the sun we live as one

Every soul
Has got a goal
To understand
We all just need to feel real

Individually
We’re all tangly
Among the fog
The fog of time

I think of things
And everything
In smaller terms
The way the trees cut through the leaves

The truth of life
All day and all night
Is in the details
And we’ve all got so much to learn

Individually
We’re all tangly
Among the fog
The fog of time

Individually
We’re all tangly
Among the fog
So unbreakable

Circular Nature

I am going to sing this song
About the circular nature of the world
Just like the world is round
The lakes evaporate into the clouds
And the rain comes down
The rivers flow into the oceans

Everything goes back again
Again

The wind
The water
The earth
Revolves around in space

Where is my home?
Where do I flow?
I came here from living away for so long
Now I came back and I don’t know
What am I supposed to feel about?
I am lost
I am home
I am broke
Where do I flow?
When will I know?
What do I need?
What do I need?

I am also lost
I’m in love
is love so grand
if love is made
Who knows what love is made of?

Someday maybe I will know
Like the river rolling in closer to his home
I'll make my way
Hopefully
Hopefully

Love Is

Love is the energy
Love is the answer

Love puts everything
In a soft leather pouch
And ties it shut

And is worn around the neck
Worn around the neck
Worn around the neck
Forever

top


Evaporation

The lakes evaporate into the clouds
Rain comes down
The rivers flow
Into the ocean

Evaporation is the process
Whereby a liquid
Gains the energy
To become a gas

If a room is very hot
There will be less water
Because of evaporation

Expansion
The process of escape and return

Balance
