Oh, Weary Traveler

Oh, Weary Traveler

Oh, weary traveler, put down your sails

Come into this harbor – we’ve heard all your tales

Oh, weary traveler, come upon the shore

Forage in our trees until you want no more

No more

Oh, weary traveler, out at sea so long

Are you longing, longing to belong?

Oh, weary traveler, we’re all weary too

All coming home, and all missing you

Missing you

Oh, weary traveler, is your only rest

In a lonely mountain’s vulture-stalked nest?

Well, as a weary traveler I tried to make there a bed

But they feasted on my folded wings, taking me for dead

So now, weary traveler, I only lay my soul

At the heart of dear mates who are kin of ol’

Kin of ol’

Here, weary traveler, let’s touch with our hands

Breathe and sigh, “I understand”

For, weary traveler, I fly the flights

Out of my darkness and into my light

Into the light

Oh, weary traveler, leave if you choose

Go, fill your cups, I have mine too

And, weary traveler, if you choose to stay

Then, my friend, you may, you may, you may

You may

Please stay

Oh, weary traveler, put down your sails

Come into this harbor – we’ve lived all the tales

Oh, weary traveler, we navigate the flights

Into our darkness and into our light

Into our light

Into our light

Into our light

Suburban Refugee

Suburban Refugee

Suburban Devotee

Is what you’ve grown to be

Muted and molded from infancy

In a fragmented family

Without wise community

Tricked by a paved reality

 

It all falls on you and me

Eons of insanity

Who’s gonna heal this mess

And pay the karmic debt

Yeah, now’s our time to choose

We all win-win or lose-lose

Your anesthesia is starting to wane

What you gonna do when you feel that pain

Keep the ship steady towards coma and death

Or dare to change course towards life and breath

Suburban Devotee

With dreams of being free

Yet you invest in university

Or tread caged in your city

Drunk on oil ignorantly

And media mythology

 

The sacred birds and bees

Got warped by pornography

Your elder is a t.v.

Supermarket mentality

“Virtual intimacy

Science rules divinity”

It takes faith to walk away

When your friends intend to stay

But when you choose to live free

You become a refugee

Your anesthesia is starting to wane

What you gonna do when you feel that pain

Keep the ship steady towards coma and death

Or dare to change course towards life and breath

Suburban Refugee

Of course it ain’t easy

When all you learned is to consume

And maybe clean your room

To make a whole culture now

When you got no know how

 

Suburban Refugee

Heroically

Leave your security

To secure your future free

For the walls cannot contain

A being who’s truly sane

Your anesthesia is starting to wane

What are you gonna do when you feel that pain

Keep the ship steady towards coma and death

Or dare to change course towards life and breath

Suburban Devotee

To New Indigency

Create this with my friends and me

We have skills for living free

We don’t have to live like a refugee

We don’t have to live like a refugee…
