Sunlight in cold weather

Sunlight in cold weather

Painting with paler hands

Shadows in twilight blue

Slow gravity of sands

Visiting when it can

Each time staying longer

The Rite of Spring music

Only growing stronger

Reams of paper tigers

Reams of paper tigers

More and more will persist 

The machine being built

To combat the resist

This is target practice 

Freedom fighters absurd 

Attacking the actions

The essence of the word

A tsunami warning

A tsunami warning

Children are on the beach

The heart swells with the World

That the arms cannot reach

Escalating power

It is right to be wrong

Is our identity 

Hardness to get along

Inside the twirling skirt

Inside the twirling skirt

The centrifugal force 

The poor and the huddled

Pushed hard to the hem course

Seven deadly sins and

Earthly Garden Delights 

Metropolis again

The top office incites

The sun cannot witness

The sun cannot witness

The moon does not take note

The deaths in Chicago

And up in Minnesote 

And do not forget the

Tragedies to fam’ly

Disappearing mothers

And fathers, goddamnly 

The richness and story

The richness and story

The orchids of color

To say you can’t see it

Demotes them to duller

Lovely differences

Can you not sense the blue

When you cannot see them

And are just looking through 

A hiking trail of thoughts

A hiking trail of thoughts

My heart begins to burst 

The joy and sadness of

A better world or worst

The past fails to haunt us

The great Art that remains

Tides of Hope in chorus

Refrains, refrains, refrains
