Talking In The Garden |
| Talking in the garden |
| Yelling at the yardman |
| Can you look me in the eye with a clear live gaze |
| Through a knowing haze |
| All of us are slowly |
| Trucking through a world of pain |
| But being through the bane and the flat out rain |
| There’s love around the man |
| Kindled by the work that he deems to do his way |
| Savior of a planet in its dying throes |
| He knows what must be done |
| Call upon the sun |
| Your actions intermittent, and you’re slightly |
| Non-committal of your plans |
| Passing through the pasture |
| Have you ever asked her |
| If she’d like to spend the day |
| Fill your heart and soul |
| Make you feel real whole |
| Can you make a promise to the wind |
| That sets you free? |
| That you’ll help us in our age |
| While we turn the page of life |
| Using our compassion in a way |
| That we know is right |
| Colour isn’t valid when there is no |
| Black and white, there’s only light |
| Don’t you be so mean |
| All is ever changing |
| And my God it’s so |
| Amazing what we’ve seen |
| No is not the answer |
| That could give you cancer |
| Yes is what you have to say |
| To a world at large what a garbage barge |
| When will we begin to try |
| And make some peace |
| And money’s such a bitch it can make you |
| Rich and poor to want some more |
| Ironic little rival to the fact |
| Of mere survival, what’s in store? |
| Harmony resulting from the force of many minds |
| Of different kinds |
| Waking isn’t trite |
| Spin us ever upward, can we do without |
| Our supper for the |
| Light in every being |
| Seeing is believing |
| Loving when we’re able |
| Cards upon the table |
| Turn a world of sadness |
| Full of sudden gladness |
| Then we’ll have some time to |
| Boogie! |
