I never knew I needed a guide
To help me navigate my mind
But it’s been years and years
Since I memorized all the trees
My hands have never been so dry
Patterned like a reptile
Even my eyes have been so damned
I swallowed and swallowed so much sand
I found myself lost in the woods
The sun breaking out onto the path
Where I met a Lion who guided me
She knew the name of every tree
(this is a sun song)
I never knew I needed a guide
To help me navigate my mind
But it’s been years and years
Since I memorized all the trees
My hands have never been so dry
Patterned like a reptile
Even my eyes have been so damned
But with a slight move of her hand
The water broke through
The water broke through
Rushing and flooding
Rushing and flooding out over the land
(this is a water song)
We found a home in a sycamore, completely hollow
The water flows from the roots through our bodies
And up into the branches and leaves
Reaching and reaching into the atmosphere
Following the sun
