Life's calling out
It's coming from the fallen trees
Hope's crying out
Brother, come remember me
The music is all around
Not caught up in the subtleties
The hope was to be unfound
But what's the use in trying when
I can't tell myself
Apart from almost anything else
Sometimes I've felt
Have I don well with all I have been dealt?
I give I take
I bend I break
I tend to fold
And I know you know
I'm tripping out
On some kind of self-aware
Like deep underground
I've been sleeping like a winter bear
The snow's covering the ground
Keeping out the noon-day sun
A blanket to baffle sound
But what's the use in hiding when
I'm alive and well
Not a tortoise playing dead in a shell
Been bound been held
When I couldn't break the I Shoulda' spell
You lost you gained
You sent you came
True love is bold
And you know I know
Some things are hard to believe in
Some things you have to breathe in
I won't hold my breath
When the levee's being put to the test
Won't stop to rest
On the journey from the head to the chest
I'll go I'll stay
By the moment the day
I'll say it's so
So I know I know
