lyrics

You can’t kill this love that I’ve been born with
Put you in mazes to places that look the same as other places
Becoming complacent with water fluoridation
Give you an education and they don’t care if those roads lead nowhere.
Manipulated seeds, the flight of bees
Lost in darkened seas with silent screams
Cashless society, marks of beast
Exhausted from computer screens, tv reality scenes
It’s only when you close your eyes you can truly see it
The child transmits and I am receiving
In the arms of the forest no churches needed for believing
Defined by only what you go, let go
We are awake now
Dancing around this fire
My body, heart and breath now
Are one with the beating of a drum
Putting things in cages, circuses, breeding ground, zoos, in front of children’s faces
We talk of freedom when we are the ones who live in really big cages
Keep us in the state of relating to what you propagate
A sickness and a cure, both of which you create
Makes me sicker the more I take
The more sickness there is the more you make
But your not going to make it from me
I don’t need a flu shot for free
We are awake now
Dancing around this fire
My body, heart and breath now
Are one with the beating of a drum
