about

the melody to this song came to me while I sat out in the woods, playing along with the birds as they sang.

lyrics

lyrics:

tell me what are you trying to do?
we want a future we thought you would too
tied up in this system that may be true
but we all have choices, which side are you gonna choose?

maybe it's wealth that you seek
I don't understand it I'd rather be free
the rivers and minnows and big noisy geese
and beautiful goddamn trees, I know what I need

where I once swam now dry cracked and broken
trying to breathe, my lungs fill with smoke
playing to birdsong alone on the mountain
where did the wilderness go?

I used to think you were trying to kill us
now I see you just don't care if we die
we fight for a future no matter how hopeless
at least I can meet your eyes
