Story Behind The Song

This song started as a poem, in the form of a series of questions, dealing with Life's deepest archetypal issues, and from there, came together quickly as the music revealed itself. The addition of the elegant and haunting Grand Piano part really gave the song the added musical dimension it was seeking.

Lyrics

What do you know about the forcepts and the stone; the ocean and the sky. What do you know about the hammer and the nail, and why you cannot fly.

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire...you want to fly away. It's like a tall tree standing w/o any leaves; and dry clouds w/o rain. It's that book you're reading, nothings on the page; and poems w/o words.

Your head's so weary but your heart's on fire, you want to fly away...Your head's so weary but your heart's on fire...

It's like a spark in the midst of bone dry leaves; a coil about to spring. Can't you feel it when you want to fly away, the rush of being free.

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?

What do you know about the blossom and the seed? The unfurling of the rose? What is it that can take a simple thought, and turn it into prose?

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?

Can't you feel it in the center of your soul? That something's gotta change? So many people, fallin through a hole...comin out the other side.

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?

Who is that being that is seeing through your eyes? And speaking with your mouth?
Who is that person that is listening with your ears? You might not be surprised...Because...

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?

But know that I have loved you, since before the sun kissed the first flower...oh so warm. And did you know that I was walking by your side? When you were far away from home?

Your head's so weary, but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?

Your head's so weary but your heart's on fire. You want to fly away?
