|
From small beginnings rise the redwood |
|
To oversee 2000 years |
|
From her vantage, we're all insects |
|
From her stillness, we're all on speed |
|
Though each is different in its motion |
|
There's perfection in the seed |
|
What is going down? |
|
One man lives, one man dies |
|
One forgives, one gets crucified |
|
Life just takes you to the bone |
|
One is faithful, one is not |
|
One gets high upon the cross |
|
Life just takes you to the bone |
|
One born rich, one born poor |
|
Life's a bitch and I'm her whore |
|
Life just takes you to the bone |
|
In the big picture |
|
Amongst humans |
|
There's such detail, light and shade |
|
All the ranges of confusion |
|
I'm with the fat man |
|
Life is change |
|
What is going down? |
|
What you doing with that body? |
|
It's just borrowed |
|
You confuse yourself, you confuse yourself |
|
You're not mind |
|
You're not thought |
|
You're not flesh |
|
It's not yours |
|
Take your foot off the gas |
|
There's a human being in here |
|
That's beside yourself |
|
There's a spirit in here |
|
You're beside yourself |
|
Slow down, reach out, I guess |
|
One just prays to be in love |
|
The other one kills in the name of God |
|
Life just takes you to the bone |
|
One makes bombs in Palestine |
|
Nothing to lose except his life |
|
Just takes you to the bone |
