New Song

Everything

The rain to come
And the sun to shine
The branches on the ground
That shows me how to die
How many seasons
Have I reached for the sky?
Through the upstairs window
I hear my child cry
Every sky that looks down
On every Child waking up
Knows the seasons hold secrets
That they long to give up

Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything
Belongs with me

The bee in the hive
And the ant in the dirt
With my place in this order
I am a long way from first
I am worn by the rain
And moved by the surf
I will run from the cold
And from the heat I’ll know thirst
For every creature that seeks
And every soul that is found
There are cries in the forest
That have no audible sound

Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything
Belongs with me

There are Children in graves
And women in chains
Men behind bars
And souls without names
And how many gods
To thee we implore
Now my pockets are full
What is my life for?
Every hammer coming down
Sets a nail or seals a fiat
There are still answers in the wind
It is never to late

Everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything, everything
Belongs with me

New song, but it's been bouncing around in my note books for years. Songs are like children. You hold them close as long as you can, but at some point you've got to push them out the door. This one might get pushed out at the coffeehouse tomorrow.
I'll try and record it and post it on this blog, we'll see.
The Photo on this post is a collage of about 45 Photos from my living. It is also called Everything
