LYRICS
I can see beyond the canopy
… beyond the canopy
The light shines through upon you
… through upon you
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

I’m afraid we’re losing the shade
… losing the shade
The flora is starting to fade
… starting to fade
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

Pollution revolution
… revolution
These “we’s” killing the trees
… killing the trees
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

LYRICS
I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
It wasn’t the birds
It wasn’t the bees
Wasn’t the monkeys
Swinging from the trees

I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
Too late to warn
The bees swarm
Birds take flight
Out of fright
We’ve made a monkey
Out of me

I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
One guess

Well, can’t you see
There ain’t no honey
The goose that lays the golden eggs is gone
At some point the light of insight will dawn

LYRICS
As you arrive on the platform
The train is already leaving
If you’re off to take the world by storm
Might want to start with some learning
Listen to which way the wind blows
I’ll flow with Her… surely, she knows

Time and time again it never fails
Your ship already sails
When you’re off to take on the world
The next lesson is unfurled
Listen to which way the wind blows
I’ll flow with Her… surely, she knows

No sense making a great big fuss
Just because you always miss the bus
You’ll be better off anyway
Finding the meaning of the day
Listen to which way the wind blows
I’ll flow with Her… surely, she knows

Song Writing and Recording Along the Brandywine

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy

The mirage of camouflage

All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?

The mirage of camouflage

Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em
G Am Em

Written and recorded live along the Brandywine Creek between Lenape and Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was inspired by the wildlife and the imminent danger that humans present (in particular due to global warming.) There was a sucker fish lying on the bottom with camouflage that made it look like shadows.

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar

LYRICS
When I see a feline line
When I watch a canine dine
When I see starry sky
When I watch a raptor fly

Mother nature is beautiful
Brings a tear to my eye
Mother’s prophecy will fulfill
No fear for you or I

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless

It must have been
An Act Of God
Mixed together
With Human
Heavens nod
An *Act Of God*
*God forbid*
Most everything
Man did
Destroy ourselves
Destroy our city
Forever wallowing
In self-pity
Forever swallowing
Our own tail
Forever swallowing
Our own tale
