TAARKA

Lyrics

Do you ever see the sun
shining down on you
and look up at the sky
that's bluer than blue?
Do you ever feel the grass
between your toes
and look up at the sun
for whom it grows?

Have you walked upon the earth
and known it wasn't yours?
Known instead that you belong
to the sea and to the shore?
Do you know you're not alone
and that life depends on you
and you depend on life
and no creature is beneath you?

Tell me, do we live in the same world?
I wonder if we live in the same world..

Have you ever sung a song
because the trees asked you to?
As an olive branch between
the now and what you once knew?
Have you ever moved in time
to the rhythm of the river?
Offered to the birds
your earthbound flight to seek their favor?

Tell me, do we live in the same world?
I wonder if we live in the same world..

Have you ever broken down
in the face of beauty?
Have you ever really loved
with all the pain and sense of duty?
Have you ever felt the mass
of life and love not separate?
Raised your arms up to the sky
waiting for the wind to take you away?

Tell me, do we live in the same world?
I wonder if we live in the same world..
Tell me, do we live in the same world?
I wonder if we live in the same world..
