LYRICS
It’s not a joke
All of us will croak
But, like the Crocus
All of us
Can spring forth again
Like an Iris I am
It’s OK to be a Pansy
When you spring to life so easily
Sun or part shade
No need to be afraid
Moist, well drained
Voiced, well brained
Sprout like a Daffodil
Get your life’s fill
Don’t take a toll on your soul
Narcissus ilk not narcissistic
Trumpet birth in the Spring
And, the sprouting it will bring
A verse inspired by the wildfires in Chile burning in the forests of 1,000 old puzzle monkey trees. (At least the government of Chile recognizes it as the effects of human induced climate change.) Another verse is inspired by the ISIS destruction of ancient artifacts in Syria using sledgehammers and bulldozers. I guess you could say the song is about human induced destruction of everything.
Araucaria araucana — commonly called the monkey puzzle tree
The origin of the popular English language name ‘monkey puzzle’ derives from its early cultivation in Britain in about 1850, when the species was still very rare in gardens and not widely known. Sir William Molesworth, the proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, one of them – the noted barrister and Benthamist Charles Austin remarked, “It would puzzle a monkey to climb that”. [Because it takes a 1,000 years for them to grow, young specimens are tiny.] As the species had no existing popular name, first ‘monkey puzzler’, then ‘monkey puzzle’ stuck. — Wikipedia
LYRICS
When you’re sick and tired… you can’t take anymore
When the thick and thin… you just can’t endure
Look above for some love
(Genesis 2:1)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
Raise your voice and praise the choice to instill your freewill
Though, not in boasts… rather joy for the holy ghost
(Luke 10:30)
Persecuted and wronged for doing what’s right
Dread being stripped naked, beaten, and left half dead
Find insight in the light
(Hebrews 6:4)
Once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift — uplift
Partake of the Holy Spirit and taste the powers of the age to come
Riches beyond your wildest dreams and then some
(Jude 1:21)
Keep yourselves in the love as you wait for the mercy
The light will shine… shine o’ so fine… you shall see
It’ll work out fine… be heavenly
(Daniel 6:27)
Delivered and rescued I see signs and wonders in heaven and on earth
Under threat of alarms and sirens, delivered Daniel from the power of the lions
Now is the hour of rebirth
LYRICS
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When it’s snowing in Spring
And there’s no birdies to sing
(All the while the solar eclipse supermoon equinox rocks)
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the East Coast is freezing
And the West Coast is frying
(Expressing some sort-a bi-polar polar express)
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When California is drying
As the Texans weather flooding
(SXSW prepares for the test)
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the sun is shinning
While cloudless rain ‘s a fallin’
(Enough cosmic flow to bring on a rainbow)
