winter_____

there's a drop of water on the wall
and the drop's about to fall
and it falls into a trickle
and the trickle's flowing down
down down to the ground
and the moss begins to grow
watch watch watch
watch the water flow
and watch the current become a stream
busting at the seams
cracking through the concrete
bending down the steel
with a raging that is real
a tearing torrent you can feel
feel the thunder growing
thunder underground
and in my heart the chain's falling apart
the wildness in my soul
and for once in life for once in life I know
I'm not alone
for the mountain's in our bones
and the ocean's in our blood
our feet planted planted firmly in the mud
we are alive
the burning embers in our eyes
the tingling touch upon our skin
and in the heat of passion we begin to understand
that we are of this land
that we are part of Earth
and when she's threatened we will fight for all we're worth
we watch the dam
the dam come crashing down
water rushing to the sea
and now the river now the river now
the river now is free!
