Lyrics that Teach

 

"Anywhere Is" 

The Universe is bathed in Gravity.   Everywhere.  We live comfortably in balance with its strength from planet Earth and companion solar bodies.  But out midst the cosmos its frailty is vaporous.   We are on the threshhold of a metamorphasis, growing into time and space.  A tenuous vaporous future where breathing in "possibilities" is really more secure than firm determinism.  Where floating flying in confidence through cosmic reaches -- no gravitational masses to mark our choices or pathingways  -- is where we must be comfortable and most assured.    We are in transition now.    Learning to trust and rely -- on each other's "future behavior", on the being-ness of existence.  Enthusing that horizons never end.  So in this moment, we
must learn to have no fear,  while "letting go".         . . . .

"Anywhere Is"     -   Enya : "The Memory of Trees" © Reprise 1995 Warner Records UK Ltd.

I walked the maze of moments    but everywhere I turn to
Begins a new beginning    but never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon    and there I find another
It all seems so surprizing    and then I find that I know

You go there, you're gone forever
I go there, I'll lose my way
If we stay here, we're not together
Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean    is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing    the reason for its flowing
In motion on the oceam    the moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving    and I still keep on going

You go there, you're gone forever
I go there, I'll lose my way
If we stay here, we're not together
Anywhere is

I wonder if the stars sign    the life that is to be mine
And would they let their light shine    enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens    but night has clouded over
No spark of constellation    no Vela   no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands    have taken from their own lands
The echo of their story    but all I hear are low sounds
As pillow words are weaving    and willow waves are leaving
But should I be believing    that I am only dreaming

You go there, you're gone forever
I go there, I'll lose my way
If we stay here, we're not together
Anywhere is

To leave the tread of all time    and let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find    the way back to the moment
I took the turn I turned to    begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer    I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way    it's one way or the other
It should be one direction    it could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken    the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning    I might be at the end.

"You Learn"

Fast forward in lives that move with the speed of light and confronting enduring more information more imagery than ever in human history.  Streaming infinities that stretch our abilities and challenge our capacities, our energies to keep up.  And in the middle, an exquisite cognition . . . that every instant is an opportunity . . . to expand . . .  to learn . . .

" You Learn"    -  from   "Jagged Little Pill", Alanis Morissette, ©1995 MCA Music                                      Publishing/Vanhurst Place Music/BMI/Aerostation Corp. ASCAP

You live         you learn
You love        you learn
You cry         you learn
You lose        you learn
You bleed      you learn
You scream   you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew, to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live         you learn
You love        you learn
You cry          you learn
You lose         you learn
You bleed       you learn
You scream    you learn

Wear it out ( the way a three-year-old would do )
Melt it down ( you're gonna have to eventually anyway )
The fire trucks are coming round the bend

You live         you learn
You love        you learn
You cry          you learn
You lose         you learn
You bleed       you learn
You scream    you learn

You grieve    you learn
You choke     you learn
You laugh      you learn
You choose   you learn
You pray       you learn
You ask         you learn
You live         you learn

 

                        Song of Joy                                                                        , 1998

All past all present ... all to arise
    earliest Being ...  being ~  one ~ the same
temporal reborning ~ up-arised of quantum's whorl
    slow-motion transits ~ as sense-bound soul ...
observing advances of the "viscous" world
    to meld and meld ~ arise ~ arise again ...
Watch once more and guide the lives ~
    your travelled companions found flesh again
accepting our canopies ~ the sinew the breath
    and fill the null with Love and All
there is but one Immenseness
    abundant and full
    as stories infuse and Universe breathes.
