How can we love our world again? How can we feel its paint? Must we memorize green before it is lost, or remember ourselves so we can hold onto it?

lyrics

Wood Carver's Lament

I'm going with the grain
grain of the wood
move in its direction
like I should
circling the knots
tangled up with time
until i reach the bottom
the bottom line

ahh ahh, ahh ahh

In the city chaos
up against a wall
trying to understand
what I'm doing here at all
searching for a pair
of understanding eyes
for a place of safety
underneath the skies

cause the sun is burnin burnin burnin
and the ocean's risin risin risin
and my soul is cryin cryin cryin
when did you stop lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me?

I'm memorizing green
so it's safe inside my head
gathering the stones
from the river bed
so if one day I wake up
and everything is gone
hold them in my hands
and feel the river's song...

cause the sun is burnin burnin burnin
and the ocean's risin risin risin
and my soul is cryin cryin cryin
when will you start lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me?
when will you start lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me lovin me
...
