about

I wrote this song a month after the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. I wanted to create a song of hope in the face of one of the worst environmental disasters we've ever seen. I do have very real fears for life on this planet but we can make a choice to reside in hope and live in inspired action.

lyrics

I sure like it here the birds and the trees,
Sitting quiet by the mountain's feet
And the math may baffle your mind,
A planet such as this is hard to find

The Apocalypse is Not Guaranteed
Just because it's written in some books,
Far as I know hope is still free

This is our cathedral,
Can we let it be?
Keep the oil out of our seas
Cos we all choke with the sludge in our lungs
This constant need for more must be overcome

Just as the light comes with the dawn,
I'm sure this light will shine on everyone,
And time will surely come,
When we have no choice but to act as one
