They collide
When I'm too tired to mind
And if you said
That you're naive
Well then I'd say how come
Because only the people who want to be
Something they are not
Try to prove it
And the people who really are
Try to hide it away
The rain will fall
And I will be happy
But it's never a sure thing
Is that the charm
Or the vexation
I'm of the inclination
Of the former
But if we were to climb that latter
Like a two headed beast
Would we be anything that's worth it
If we can't find the beauty of nature
And grief
But enough of that
I can say how to sing
I can sing a song of breathing
But I can't make the weary say
Oh how they love the feeling
So you either pack your bags
Or you spread your seeds
And that has no account
For counting me
It starts with the heart
And into your eyes
Straight to the neurons
That think your alive
So be gentle with your own
God or whatever created
Experience of life
Or whatever atoms came from
Bonding agents
Well they gave me the choice
To pick freedom
Or chains
And I don't know which in the end
I will gain
It's a state of mind
It's a being of self
And no government or agency
Or elder
Can say
You are positively
Free
But I know that I'm trying
And I know that I'm okay
Say together now
I am free
Birds
And bees
And vine covered trees
They know what life is
But we?
Who are we
To say we know
When all our thinking gets in the way
When theology
And science
And all the things we've come to create
Stand in the way
Of a natural thing
Of our states of hunger
And our peace of instinct
I know what living is
All of us do
Just rip out your eyes
And feel the animal inside
Your guttural hide
The wild side
And then there is love
What else can you do
There is trouble
Deep waters
Sadness
Feelings running close enough
But not quite as deep
Next to your love
Can you feel it yet
Magic
Beyond science
Beyond your crazy beliefs
Can you feel it yet
Then there is love
And what else is there to do
Then there was love
