Falling through a crack in space time on your mothers back This city she’s tried she’s tumbling swallow of pride I’m hurt and I’m angry I’m angry when I’m hurt I feel so empty this place is just like swimming in the dirt I need to feel like patience hasn’t died When city gets angry city will eat me alive To leave behind what people are at all We’re ticking time on the clock and the clock is falling off the fucking wall But what if we don’t do it what if we don’t let it in What if we don’t do it what if we begin to see things another way What if we don’t do it what if we don’t let it in What if we don’t do it what if we begin to see things another way I’m going back to the trees cause the trees are good And I know when I’m there that I’ll know everything I should I’m going back to the trees my new neighborhood And I know when I’m there that’s when I’ll be The Witch of the Woods Cause I am part trees earth wind and night sky shine inside of me Reflecting pool of ice lightning fire inside of me Watching wait in the night like spores inspire me Reaching grow in the sunlight this is holy See The Witch in the Woods Be The Witch in the Woods But what if we don’t do it what if we don’t let it in What if we don’t do it what if we begin to see things another way What if we don’t do it what if we don’t let it in What if we don’t do it what if we begin to see things another way I’m going back to the trees cause the trees are good And I know when I’m there then I’ll know everything I should I’m going back to the trees my new neighborhood And I know when I’m there that’s when I’ll be The Witch of the Woods Cause I am part trees earth wind and night sky shine inside of me Reflecting pool of ice lightning fire inside of me Watching wait in the night like spores inspire me Reaching grow in the sunlight this is holy See The Witch in the Woods Be The Witch in the Woods

In the open sea in the open sun in the open sky believe The truth is catching up to us And before too long it will pass us by and we’ll look behind And see what is left in front of us And hindsight isn’t blind And I’m always stuck on rewind The way ahead isn’t clear but The Loving Ones were here And definitely listening all the time all the time Definitely listening all the time all the time This could be our time this could be our life if we’d all believe in something Grains of sand to wish upon There’s a box of love from another time if you look inside you’ll find People who have lived before And hindsight isn’t blind And I’m always stuck on rewind The way ahead isn’t clear but The Loving Ones were here And definitely listening all the time all the time Definitely listening all the time all the time Bet you can’t glance at a big wheel boy oh come without a grabbing and a steerin’ down Oh let that big wheel spin and just lose control oh come on little momma gotcha she’s got rhythm in her You can’t bank on a thing you know well come on the carnival is just a ride that happens in the show Bet you can’t glance at a big wheel boy oh come without a grabbing and a steerin’ down Oh let that big wheel spin and just lose control oh come on little momma gotcha she’s got rhythm in her You can’t bank on a thing you know well come on the carnival is just a ride that happens in the show

In the Dawn of Song light breaks and mixes with the sky With words spoken and whispered about who and what and why It’s the sound of all of humankind In the Dawn of Song voices break the quiet in the din Night releases sound and the sound begins within It’s that sound we’re still resounding in Living the song and the song begins within Fighting the urge to sink until we swim There is no try there is do there is only win So we can touch the light that is within So we can touch the light that is within So we can So we can In the Dawn of Song lungs take the air from deep within It releases me from any pain that I am in It’s that sound that makes us whole again In the Dawn of Song you and I became the light We turned to UV radiance and danced with arctic colors in the dark of night Making us more than this self that we’re living in So we can touch the light that is within So we can touch the light that is within So we can So we can In the Dawn In the Dawn So if anybody asks yeah I’ll be playing If anybody asks yeah I’ll be playing If anybody asks well I’ll be playing If anybody asks well I’ll be playing ooh In the Dawn of Song voices break the quiet in the din Night releases sound and the sound begins within It’s that sound we’re still resounding in It’s that sound It’s that sound It’s that sound It’s that sound
