Celebration of life

Celebration of life

Is that what we talked about, Is that where it all began

There was a fair, fireworks and rides

In the middle of a desert rose a tide

We all danced to the tunes from arrows and spears

It was a place of its own kind

There were dancers performing on the roads

Making people stand on their toes

The sun is about to set, there are wolves howling out aloud

Let’s celebrate this part of the show

 it’s just about to end

have you walked up to  a high peak and looked down,

that is where you came from and that is where you will go back

but rejoice

celebrate the moment

and surrender to the harmony of the winds

do you sit down and listen to crickets on lonely  nights

do you know who they are, do they belong to the upper tribe

can you ask them for me, how do they celebrate life

is it like here with fairs and dances and beer

does it look the same, does it feel the same

if they say yes, tell them to go back and stand tight

they can steal all the booty , but the beast is mine

there is birth of an angel in that house down the lane

I know them, they are good beings

There are cries of sweetness and bliss, the baby is welcomed with happiness

I went to see her too, I saw her and I saw her eyes

I looked into them, they were deep blue like a dangerous ocean

They were anchored in one emotion, one motion all day

Finding, waking, straining, staring, hope, love, need, cry

Feel, touch, hold, die, but don’t dry

Did you see all this in one look just the way I did

Did you hold her hand and welcome her

There are serpents outside with white turbans and mud loathed clothes

They were knocking on the doors, they wanted to take her away

But don’t worry kid

you will be warm again,

you will come back and stand here again

you will face the storm again,

you will be born again

TRANSCENDED

Have you ever seen smoke without fire

Have you seen the white light wired

Did you notice the roars and the cries of the people in pain

It is a conscious effort so you don’t lose it all in vain

Did you say you believed in seasons

Did you see them coming

I saw them change through the window of the room

At the corner block

I remained still, poised, seated

While it all changed past and roads came to an end

Did you have your bodies knit so tight

That the visuals passed by and you didn’t realize

There is a

STORM

Which will

EAT

Us

ALIVE

Run to the desert run to save

Save the life, save the flowers, save the wild child

This body needs warmth and we are all going to freeze here

Like mannequins for people to come and see in decades

Did they witness the change, the process, the mystery

Is this homecoming or last in the line of victory

Have you ever woken up to a dim morning

Have you felt heavy with each breath

Did you release the demons out or did you leash them

How do you like it better, do you like it this cold

There is no fuel left to burn

It went away in fumes to where it was destined

Are we transporting or transcending

Is the real or surreal

Look at that small girl who lives like a princess

There was blood there was skin

But in her eyes there was no fear

She held hands and walked through the forests, the mountains and the lakes, the bears and the tears

She crossed them all

And now at the peak she is ready to be mowed

Would you enjoy slaughtering

Would you like to see the death dawn upon her 

Do you hear the screeching of cars

They would just drive over her

They keep talking

They keep talking in my ears

They don’t reach my head

Ride the white horse with a blue saddle

Into the winds well fly together

Clutch tight don’t fall on the way

Cos he’s not looking back at you, hell just trot away

Leaves on the barbed wires without any water

Guards on the gates with green caps and red lines

This beautiful girl smiling at me

With her long hair combed so fine

She looked at us with those light crystal eyes

She walked out of those gates and rode the horse

And she rode away.. into the dark

Lady and your child

You think its only humans
Who have a population
How about the ocean's tides
Which can engulf a whole big nation

Lets all get together
And dance tonight
Cos there ain't gonna be
Another summer midnight
Is this how we declare our fate
We chose to ignore
The screams from the sky

Grasslands burnt birds died
And man made walls to hide
We yet haven't seen the mighty side
Any plans to save the lady and your child
The lady and your child..
