Drifting drifting Like a feather On a lazy day dream Like the water As it flows along the mountain It is flowing like a fountain Settle settling… Like the sand beneath A rock that’s drifting… On a planet that is rich and turning Poor and yearning Too… It’s a Carnival of time Every interaction Subtle and sublime Every moment Like the water in your soul Every instant Like the earth the trees the soil And in the end we all are only Just you and me and us We are Earth. Air and stardust. Like living, breathing sawdust And it only is exactly what it must be Earth air and stardust. Earth air and stardust. Sifting sifting Through the hourglass Wishing time could stop. So you could plant a crop That feeds the universe But the universe is full Pushing pushing Sitting still then pulling All the weight that you can bear… I can see you sitting there. I know you are still unsure Of what it means or why we’re here And that’s ok It’s never really clear… in the end we all are only Just you and me and us We are Earth. We are Air We are stardust. Like living, breathing sawdust And it only is exactly what it is Earth air and stardust. Earth air and stardust. Earth air and stardust.
