Testi musica canzoni

From the album slow down world

It was up some laughing river where I'd gone to
spend the day.

I had such fantastic visions I could hardly stand
to stay.

And I stood within myself and suddenly felt free,

And I stood above the burdens that puzzle you and
me.

I became awareness that was shared with all
around,

With the trees, the sky, the flowers, and the
wind, the sun, the ground.

I heard the birds were singing and I found them
same as me,

And I understood our sorrows and why they should
not be.

I saw this plane of living, it was nothing more
than faith,

A skin that covered glory, far beyond our love or
hate,

A living crystal fairyland where loving is our
grace,

A pyromanic garden that knows no time nor space.

I saw what we've been doing to it, saw it as
insane,

Still a marching like good Christians with our
wars, the sword, the flame,

To crush all those damned infidels, defend what
should be shame.

And again I shared our sorrows and knew we all
must bear the blame.

I see it all as part of us to know and share
alike

With a universal willingness to know and do
what's right,

To understand our brotherness and stop this awful
race,

Let our children grow in peace, know their life
shall not be waste.

First there is a mountain, then it seems the
mountain's gone,

But then, if you take another look, why, it's
been there all along.

We can be just like that river as it laughs along
its way,

Or stand beneath the shadows that take the sun
away.
