Song Description

Quite, introspective song about noticing the life around us, particularly children, nature and self. Acoustic guitar, tiny hip-hop beats and a coffee can. Hopeful.

Lyrics

Have you ever spent a day
with a child, making her laugh
receiving her joy, seeing her sights
considering her wonders, embracing everything
She is the fountain of youth
in her hope springs eternal
have a drink
get your fill then drink some more

Have you ever spent a day
in the wonder of the trees
breathed their breath, climbed up into their arms
received the breeze that they receive
and the felt the creatures in your limbs, here they call home
let the leaves of your head flutter in the wind
watched the lush landscape that changes with every ring
fold up your limbs and become the seed
felt the moist earth against your skin
break through the crust and reach out to the warmth
drink the sky's offer of life to you

Have you ever spent a day
away from the chaos speakers
who annouce and invite you to their suicide
and lent your ear to your own voice
welcomed your fear, broken bread with your faults
been drunk in your laughter
kissed this failure you've been tryin' to avoid
