about

Lo-fi iphone demo due to time constraints. The topic got me feeling a little earnest, hopefully it isn't strident.

lyrics

we are the sons and the daughters
of the living, breathing earth
we were born in the desert, raised in the forest
everything we needed was laid out before us
provided by the spirits in the sky

we are the stubborn descendants
of volcanoes, floods and fires
our ancient hearts were forged from the clay
like a stone with the edges worn away
we were shaped by the river, shaped by the river of time

and we were made to love, we were made to love

energy, well she likes to sing
as she glides her bow across the string
and the old tunes spark and the melodies fly
they flash like lightening across the the sky
and those same sparks fly between you and I

and energy, she likes to perform
so she slips into her human form
she wrote all the words on every page
and plays all the parts on every stage
she makes us laugh and she makes us cry

but somethings wrong, now she’s stuck in a glitch
and watching ones and zeros twitch
while a virus coursing through our veins
writing bad code in our brains
and caught between pride and shame

we are the lost and the lonely
we’re the driftless and diffuse
searching for peace in war torn streets
while algorithms confuse our feet
here on the edge of a strange new world

we are the bored and distracted
afraid to look at what we’ve wrought
angry and alone we hurt each other
we’ve forgotten how to dance and we’ve cursed our mother
now we’re praying for grace to guide us home

cause we were made to love
we weren’t made to hate
we were made to love

we are the sons and the daughters
of the living, breathing earth
