The ground connects us through our feet We connect the Earth through our minds And connect our hearts through our hands Until the ground beneath our feet Begins to crumble We dig up hatred and then repeat As we stumble Attacking the planet to cut our connection And severing our stability When the ground is filled with holes And the ground is filled with those We chose to dispose For what they know Or what they show We told them no And dimmed their glow We feel dirt between our toes As the quicksand embraces our ankles We let a malicious mudslide flank us
The Sandman continues to introduce us To our own eternal rest On his endless conquest For minerals in his midst Sentiment unable to penetrate his sediment The dirtiness in his heart becomes evident When he drowns us in dust And colors us rust He feels he must But he made a fatal mistake Not realizing we are attached by soil As the soil becomes a lake We find relation deeper than oil
The Sandman seeks our species' slumber But the power of our tears Are strong when shared And shower us with love That runs through our blood Moistening man Soaking the sand Once we see life grand
