Tell us all a story
|
About how it used to be
|
Make it up and write it down
|
Just like history
|
About goldilocks and the three bears
|
Nature in the cross hairs
|
And how we all ascended
|
From the deep green sea
|
When it's not too hot
|
Not too cold
|
Not too meek
|
Not too bold
|
When it's just right and you add sunlight
|
Then we're home
|
Finally home
|
Home in the land of the homeless
|
Finally home
|
|
Oh what are we going to do
|
I never did a thing to you
|
Time peaceful as a hurricane eye
|
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
|
|
A history of whispers
|
A shadow of a horse
|
Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse
|
White cloud, black crow
|
Crucifix and arrow
|
The oldest silence speak the loudest
|
Under the deep green sea
|
|
When speech becomes a crime
|
Silence leads the spirit
|
Over the bridge of time
|
|
Over the bridge of time
|
I'm waling with my family
|
And the road begins to climb
|
And it's oh lord how we going to pray
|
With crazy angel voices
|
All night
|
Until it's a new day
|
|
Peaceful as a hurricane
|
Peaceful as a hurricane
|
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
|
Peaceful as a hurricane
|
Peaceful as a hurricane
|
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
|
Peaceful as a hurricane eye
|
|
You want to be a leader?
|
You want to change the game?
|
Turn your back on money
|
Walk away from fame
|
You want to be a missionary?
|
Got that missionary zeal?
|
Let a stranger change your life
|
Hot does it make you feel?
|
You want to be a writer
|
But you don't know how or when
|
Find a quiet place
|
Use a humble pen
|
|
You want to talk talk talk about it
|
All night squawk about
|
The ocean and the atmosphere
|
Well I've been away for a long time
|
And it looks like a mess around here
|
I'll be away for a long time
|
So here's how the story goes
|
There was an old woman
|
Who lived in a shoe
|
She was baking a cinnamon pie
|
She fell asleep in a washing machine
|
Woke up in a hurricane eye
|
