Thank you for tormenting me The wise squirrel bites my tail If I don’t live the Truth Then I’m destined to fail And I feel this power deep Deep inside my soul It’s vaster than the ocean And the waves that roll And it’s pulling me like a current As I’m lost in the tide I want to scream out loud Live your life alive
And it feels like bricks and mortar Like stone upon a stone But something is drawing me Out of where I’ve made my home Like the boat to set sail On a vast expanse Did you ever watch the sun On the water as it dance And did you ever see a silhouette Framed by the sky Did you ever find the long Grass and just lie Underneath the clouds As you’re breathing air You can thank the trees for that There’s one over there
And I feel the longing pull me Through a needle eye I’m not afraid to love This life before I die And everything’s a tumbleweed Blowing through this desert town But the sky will open up And the rain will pour down To replenish the soil To give water to the earth To set the plants a growing And quench her lonely thirst
And if you ever want to thank Someone, start with soul I may be in this body but I’m not getting old Or counting on tomorrow to be the one to quiet the din If you want to find the answer you must go within And sit down by the sill of the window of your life Know that you are born to be the shining light And to answer the call that beckons you forth I can see the sun set when I’m sitting on the porch Or morning over hills when I’ve been up all night Contemplating things that the heart ignites And it’s celestial, these bodies in the sky If you knew you had wings would you be afraid to fly Afraid to open out and trust the wind beneath your feathers Soar above the noise and the field the flower weathers
