[Intro]
[Verse 1: Gruf]
It was not unlike the numbness of the sunset
Resting its rays on my face engulfing its heavy gaze
As the future of many days look back into my eyes
Staring into the forest like I was Lord of The Flies
But I ain't mortified I'm overjoyed as I override
Thoughts of the city and the stress that gets me fried
Just let my mind's eye relax and open up as I make tracks
Down the trail I sail I'm surrounded by nature
The air is cool and fresh the smell of cedar reforms my labor
As I savor the soft sounds
In my solitude there's no substitute
And I'm humbled too as the thick tread of my boot nearly crushes
A cluster of red mushrooms now the underbrush hushes
In my clumsiness and I suddenly wish to stand still
View life from a new frequency and let nothing go unseen
Let my thoughts root deep into the soil for nourishment
And so I halt and let my patience exalt without discouragement
[Verse 2: Gruf]
Within minutes gray jay and chickadee make my hay day
Foraging on the ground a few feet from where I'm found
Then my soul became inflated when greeted by the plaided
Tap pin a tree trunk for grub now this is what I needed
Guess now I felt the oneness with the sunset and with all
Viewing life with a new sight becoming immersed in its call
Odd by the intricacy
Intrigued by the simplicity
And inside I felt that nothing was missing to me
We were in balance
No longer individuals who challenged each experience with resistance
If it were music it was like groovin' to inner visions without movin'
Sounds difficult but you could get used to it
But the truth is it's hard to explain
To you or anyone just how i felt that day
As I merged with my excursion that morning in the white shell
It might well have been similar to some religious experience
Like kneeling in your temple
Speaking to your god and learning its lessons
Well let here be my temple
And let the one spirit the breath of many
The one voice of a variety of sounds
One life with its ups and downs
A variety of relationships interconnected
A symbiotic neighborhood respected
