Is it the earth that calls or the urge to settle down? No voice, no sound though it's clear, it's loud
On the plains our build will set about here Behind these hills where we left our past
From far we came to high we're heading now Never looked back now we won't look down
The earth cries out it's urge to slow it down Our voice, our sound it's clear, it's loud
Old soul your little eyes pierce inside See the worries in my mind You look, you smile as if you say: It will be alright Now so little, bit so wise my child
Old soul don't grow too fast Don't bother what the world expects no just yet You'll look, you'll smile and then you'll say It will be alright Soon so so big, so wise my child
Don't bother what the world expects You will know what's best
Whether you babble or you speak You'll be perfect, always be perfect to me Soon so big, so wise
A painting, your best picture is not a threat on the wall That red sky as decoration Becomes a different sensation when rain begins to fall
What separates a flash a split-second from a century? Content, and context
What separates the life of a woman, or man That achieves a million things Or one monumental thing, from one that achieves nothing that anyone remembers? Content, and context
What separates those that have lived lives Full of love and happiness from those that have endured Unfathomable pain and suffering And never known a single moment of a bliss? Much, much more than just content and context Everything, the world
Yet in the scheme of things all lives and all experiences Have a beginning, an end and an in between and are one As if they never were
Through the palms of the hands of the earth we slip We are like water that seeps through her fists We just take from her, and we never give
We are losing it Losing grip She lets go of us She is furious
She's our ears and our eyes when we are sleeping How much longer she lets us breath And will she tolerate there narrow escapes She lets go of us She is furious
