Album: Lifted Or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground

The Big Picture

The picture is far too big to look at kid.
your eyes won´t open wide enough and you are constantly surrounded by that swirling
stream of what is and what was.
Well, we´ve all made our predictions but the truth still isn´t out.
So if you want to see the future, go stare a cloud.
And keep trying to find your way out of that maze of memories.
it all sort of looks familiar but then you get up close and it´s different,
clearly.
each time you turn a corner, you are right back where you were and your only hope is
forgetting might make a door appear.
Is it your fear of being buried that makes you so afraid to speak?
An avalanche of opinions like the one that fell that i am now underneath.
it was my voice that moved the first rock and i would do it all again.
so, i mean, it´s cool if you keep quiet but i like singing.
so i´ll be holding my note and stomping and strumming and feeling so very lucky.
there is nothing i know exept that is lifetime is one moment and wishing will just
leave me empty.
so you can try and live in darkness but you will never shake the light.
it will greet you every morning and make you more aware with its absence at night,
when you are wrapped up in your blanket, baby, that comfortable cocoon.
but i have seen the day of your awakening boy and it´s comming soon.
So go ahead and lose yourself in liquor and you can praise the clouded mind but it
isn´t what you are thinking, it´s the course of history, your position in the line.
you are just a piece of the puzzle so i think you had better find your place.
And dont´t go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate.
Because there has been a great deal of discussion, yes, about the properties of
man.
Animal or Angel?
You were carved from bone, but your heart, it´s just sand.
And the wind is going to scatter it and cover everything with love.
So if it makes you happy, then keep kneeling, Mama, but i am standing up.
Because this veil it has been lifted.
My eyes are wet with clarity.
I have been a witness it such wonders.
Oh, i have searched for them across this country but i think i´ll be returning now
to the town where i was born.
And i understand you must keep moving friend, but i´m headed home.
I´m gonna follow the road and let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body.
I´ll send you all this message in code, under ground, over mountains, through
forests and deserts and cities.
All across electric wire, it´s a baited line.
The hook is in deep, boys, there is no time.
So you can struggle n the water and be too stubborn to die or you could just let go
and be lifted to the sky.
