lyrics

not yet...
good-night, now,
rock-a-bye, now, sleep tight now...

it's time to
close your eyes now
take a deep breath
you'll feel better
in the morning
when the sun, it
starts to rise.
Feel the Earth turn,
rhythmic oceans,
silent (longings, places, etc)
left unsaid
breathe in deeper
leave the evils
find the mantra
speak with freedom
don't let no one
take your peace.
Love the Earth,
meet her needs.
See him there,
let them love you,
no one wants to
see you fail.
the universe is
rooting for you,
we all want to
come out grinning
when it's time to
return to the
very dirt from
which we've come.

I want to see yo there, smiling at me, glad to be free.
"Immortality's so
overrated."
You laugh at me
laugh at us
at our lives, the absurdity!
"How you feel is irrelevant,
how I feel is irrelevant!"
Oh, but
What you are
and what you're not
on this Earth is
all we've got

"goodbye honey you call that gone" is the single tune that inspired me to pick up the banjo last year. learning clawhammer banjo was one of the very few things that helped me cope with my grief Polimana
