lyrics

They stood and stared across the divide,
never too late, don't owe anyone a thing.
You can cross but there's a cost in kind,
a closing horizon folds one way.
All you have is your time.
A silent song's queued up to play.

You and I will be a lot like the passenger pigeons in the future but right now we're on the Earth.
We take leave, celebrate our autonomy,
we go make our homes any place we want to be.
We reorganize so often we forgot our own trajectory,
feeling vulnerability when we plant our feet.
I believe we are attached by something deeper I can't see,
maybe just beneath. Just might be-
-that our roots aren't seen.
I feel the long hour calling me.
Our roots aren't seen,
as we lay silently.
Roots aren't seen,
I heard the long howl calling me,
Roots unseen. Ever deepening.
