a soulful dynamic tune written in a sun filled back porch moment of magic. It speaks to balance of all things in life, and carries a mantra to hold it all and "shine on"
lyrics
It's a river, It's a rhythm
It's a shadow, It's a sheen
It's a feeling, It is fleeting
It is freeing, It is being
I like the way you move
embodied truth
-source to source
wild, and smooth
Hear what your sayin
And all your words
we form a pattern like river trails
in through the cracks of
the earth & sky
the painted picture of you & I
It's a mountain, It's a fountain
It's in your mind, It's a dream
It's never ending, It is finite
Nothing and everything
Make me glad to be alive
arrive and thrive
lift and dive
you own your life
walking with two feet on ground
It's a ri-ver
hearing soft sounds like the moon go round
It's a rhy-thm
tread lightly with your fleeting belief
It's a shad-ow
the mystery will offer relief
it’s where we are from
shine on, shine on...
it is hunger, its inspiration
its all universal needs
its desperation, it is life force
it will bring you- to your knees
Hearing the leaves now are rustling
we let go a little every day....
Our natural beings are planting the seed
and when we dream we live...
humus on the ground
as long as we play...
its form released
as long as we’re awake...
we’re like those leaves all
as long as we’re awake...
resurfacing
It's a river, a rhythm, a shadow, a sheen
It's a feeling, It’s fleeting, It’s freeing, It’s being
It's your temper, its kindness, its where we all come from
It's all magic, It's science, it’s beating of the drum
It's an opus, It's madness, It's hope lost and found
It is danger, It’s honest, sanity and ground
hear what we’re saying, this life in bloom
It's a mountain, It's a fountain
we rise up after the darkest moon
it's a masterpiece, it's a mess
you are the mountain (to) reach over clouds
It's never ending, It is finite
at the passing you can look out
it is certain, it is our best
shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on.....
it’s in the way you move
embodied truth
-source to soul
wild….. and….. smooth (x2)
