Children of Exile
A thousand generations cast off of the Land
By blind capital's invisible hand
Roots cut starve the fruits then they wither the branch
Pass down abuse to your children again and again
Now go ahead and forget
Those who came before you and those who haven't yet
There's only one story that matters and you're the hero of it
It's just the one in your head
Forget it.
Now come and listen to this prophecy.
I'm here to tell you what this prophet sees
We're walking in this pain, the Land locked in chains
Not even water is free
From here to horizon mined to prop the elite
We need to trade in our philosophy
Because the Land is the Life Giver, not a piece of property.
They said you could be anything you wanted to be
So you swallowed the dream
You got your college degrees
But now you're too busy paying for your laundry machine
They've got you too busy to breath
Too busy to stop and hear the wind in the trees
Fit to drop but we're locked into chasing a dream
Drinking the rivers to keep the grass in the lawn green
Selling out our children to keep the bombs free
But wait.
Could't there be another way?
In stillness listening, hearing it quicken
The soil is singing a song of better days
A silent revolution set inside of a seed
A vibrant evolution of all that it means
To be a humble human on Earth, alive and free.

WOUNDED WARRIOR
They simply couldn’t wait
There would be no mistake
You’d barely tasted your first breath
When they set their knives to you.
And they carved away
At your harmless little frame
They said you’d never miss
What they took from you
What they took from you.
Wounded warrior don’t you shake shake it off.
Drink your sorrow and break break your heart.
Wounded warrior burn your wings and fall.
Come back down, aren’t you human after all?
They told you not to cry
They told you never be afraid
They said to rise above the dirt
And one day you’d be king
But that day is never coming.
Wounded warrior don’t you shake shake it off.
Drink your sorrow and break break your heart.
Wounded warrior burn your wings and fall.
Come back down, aren’t you human after all?
Weep for what you’ve lost.
Weep for what you’ve lost.
Weep for what you’ve lost.
Weep for what you’ve lost.
Wounded warrior don’t you shake shake it off.
Drink your sorrow and break break your heart.
Wounded warrior burn your wings and fall.
Come back down, aren’t you human after all?

Ain't It A Shame

AIN’T IT A SHAME
When she was a cub there was the darkness of the den
And mother’s warmth
The air outside was frozen, but she was safe from storms.
The day they left the den the light was blinding
She wrestled with her sister in the snow
And they walked a long time, mother hunted on the ice
Caught a seal and shared it with them both.
Ain’t it a shame?
The day her mother left, she was afraid, she thought she’d die
But on the third day after than she caught a seal, from then on she got by.
The day she met the Other, so unlike sister and mother
He’d disappear the way men always do
But something was different, she dug in for the winter
And the day her cub was born was the happiest she knew.
Ain’t it a shame?
Today the ocean shimmers, the warmest of the winters
The hunting hard, the thinness of the ice.
Oh, her sister’s drowned and dead, she couldn’t keep her cub fed
And she looks back the last one of her kind.
Ain’t it a shame?

Lay Down In The Fire

LAY DOWN IN THE FIRE
Roots thirst
Trunks towering over the hills
We grip the earth
Been growing for thousands of years.
A weary scaffolding for the sky
Cracked skin
These branches are all bone dry,
These branches bone dry.
Late is the hour
Come lay down in the fire.
Late is the hour
Come lay down in the fire.
Seeds hang
Locked in a spiral and safe
Sleeping
In stillness and silence they wait.
The striking of story unraveling flame
To awake, any day now it’s coming
Any day it’s coming.
Late is the hour
Come lay down in the fire.
Late is the hour
Come lay down in the fire.

MEGAPRAYER
Lay your swords down, we’re all the same
We’re all decaying here together
Feel the change, come the rains now
Seeds germinate
There’s a new world in the soil.
Come on, meet me on the other side.
