Did I ever dream
Like waves that crash against a shore
And pound into my brain
With visions of wings and satellites
An ancient wisdom once forgotten
I have found
I have found
I have found you

Now the earthquakes,
The volcanoes,
The tragedies
They cannot fall on me

Because I dream
An ocean filled with wine
And we drink together
We drink until were drunk
And then we can enjoy the truth
That I have found
I have found
I have found you

Now the thunder
And the lightning
The devastation
Will only make me smile

Because I don't need a thing
I don't need a thing
I don't need a thing
I don't have

The trees are at war
They speak in signals unidentified by man
That if you are a flower
You understand

The trees are at war
And all the roots connected underground
They communicate
They know your here

The trees are at war
Because we as man can have a small  axe
And chop them down
As we've done many times before

The trees are at war
Chemical and biological
Pollen in the air
Their budding the leaves of chaos

The trees are at war
And at all times they conspire
They only really want
To deprive us of oxygen
Some scientific truth, they war with one another, if you care to look it up, why not be at war with us
What on earth is given freely
without thought of gain, return
Spirit spins on heaven's wheel we
ride, get off, each in our turn.
Something you've no longer need of
or use daily, either way;
Prayer, poem, words to feed and
bring us succor through the day.
Heads a-whirl with planetary
matters weighing every move,
a spin on Spirit's wheel can carry
motives one turn toward love.
Change is rarely universal;
creeps along, just barely seen,
manifests by our reversals -
loving humans newly being.
