lyrics

all of my friends they are humble and wise
gentle teachers of how to be alive
and every time i look into their eyes
it's an exhaled reminder it's gonna be alright

i cherish those moments on the tops of the hills
when we see the whole city
and promise we will
make space in the concrete before the pavement does kill
and plant a garden
where all of life is still

i know
time fleets
everything does change
and fluidity
is all that we can claim

yet i dream of the days when we wake to the sun
with a quiet buzz humming from people we love
and say
"oh my what community does
when we care for each other
look what we can become"

i know
time fleets
everything does change
and fluidity
is all that we can claim

but as long as the wind blows
as long as my heart goes
i'll give thanks

to those beings that guide me
to the light that's inside me
i'll try to do the same
