bookmark_borderWinter’s Gone

LYRICS
Didn’t have to wait very long
January… where’s winter gone?
Does it seem wrong
Now that winter’s gone
Waited too long
To right/write our wrong
As the birds sing
“What’s happening”
The strangest thing
Eye-opening

Didn’t have to wait very long
January… spring’s coming on strong
Does it seem wrong
Now that winter’s gone
Waited too long
To right/write our wrong
As the birds sing
“What’s happening”
The strangest thing
Eye-opening

Well, well, well look what we’ve done
January n’ spring has sprung
Does it seem wrong
Now that winter’s gone
Waited too long
To right/write our wrong
As the birds sing
“What’s happening”
The strangest thing
Eye-opening

Will you ever come again
Rain reign
When will you begin
Without a doubt
Got to end the drought
This lack of rain’s insane

Arrived this very day
Rain reign
Are you here to stay?
Without a doubt

Neck deep in mud
Got to end the flood
This constant rain’s insane

You can hear them crying
From the mountain
You can hear them crying
To the sea

They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you

In the country
You can hear them crying

And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?

We can stop the crying
In the city
Could pity

I ventured on outside
Indentured to decide
Inside
I reckoned with reckon
I reckoned to jump-start
At heart
Take warmth in the nurture

Survive
Take stock in the future

Alive

On the ride
I adored the outside
Enamored worldwide
All tried
Then pondered the wonder
To wander in freedom
Awesome
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future

Alive

Have you tried
You ventured to outside
Been guided to decide

You reckoned to reckon
Beckoned to re-start

Survive
Take stock in the future

LYRICS
There’s always been more more before
But now depleted
There’s always been more more in store
For now completed
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

There’s always been more more before
Nature’s defeated
There’s always been more more in store
Our greed’s deep-seated
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

There’s always been more more before
Mothers maltreated
We’ve never been this poor before
Problem untreated
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

LYRICS
The look in your eye
As you look to the sky
Do you see the light of day
Or did the light decay?
Are you O.K.?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the night?

The look in your eye
As you look to the sea
Do you spy a low tide
Or the tide forever high
Please tell me
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the height?

The look in your eye
As if you’re going to cry
Tears of delight or fright
Insight into your foresight
… is it do or die?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the light?
