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
Would your rather die
Or would you rather fly
Is it silly askin’ why?
’cause I heard when you die you fly
A miracle… something special
Flight of a newborn angel
Would you rather die
To reach the promised land in the sky?
’cause I heard heaven’s on Earth this birth
Would you rather die or rather fly
I’ve heard your can do both
(Why risk the wrath)
But ya know what… you might find out the hard way
’cause I heard say
Heaven’s on this Earth
Heaven’s of this birth
Ya know? Why not come out of the shadow?
