141 It Calls To You

9962856_sAbout This Song: (Lyrics below)
This is a song about the environment.

We humans as a species have so attacked and degraded the natural world that it can be a frightening thought.

Yet at the same time nature calls to us.

When we stop the futile attempt to “get all our stuff” or “keep up with the Jones’s” and listen to the still small voice of nature and the natural world, there is hope.

I don’t know about you but I’m more and more feeling the call to live more sustainably, sensibly, simply. Not from a place of moral superiority but from a sense of joy and wonder. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

It Calls To You

Song # 141   |  7/1/1990   |  CD: Visions and Voices

Look outside your window
See the Breaking back of the earth
We’ve caged it with our bridges
And we sell it for it’s worth

It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you

We spit into it’s oceans
We dredge its river shoals
We circle it in our aeroplanes
We gouge it full of holes

It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you

Let me take you to an island
Where the water’s fresh and clear [It calls to you] Where the silences are deafening
And No one else is near [It calls to you] Where the grass grows green and fragrant
Where the forest knows no fear

It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you
It calls to you

When I walk through shining meadows
There’s a holiness I see
It calls to me
It calls to me
It calls to me…
