lyrics

I gaze towards the tall trees
The sun is shining through it’s leaves
I embrace these fleeting moments when I am at ease
I listen to the cars pass
Squirrels are chasing in the grass
Church is getting out from Sunday mass

And I’m thinking of my family
The ones who mean the most to me
Generations weighing on our minds

Interrupted by a bluejay
I watch until it flies away
To chase a group of sparrows from it’s hideaway
The motion from a streetcar
Down the road but not too far
Stalking city streets like a jaguar

I’m back to thoughts of family
The ones who mean the most to me
How narratives make strangers of us all

I feel my eyes grow heavy
A sudden bout of lethargy
I let my tired body get the best of me
And then I’m in a large hall
A place I’d been in Montreal
I see more familiar faces than I can recall

I dream of friends and family
The ones who meant the most to me
The ones who made it too the other side

I can’t focus on my tasks
With an unknown future, forgotten past
But I’m ok if someone asks

I gaze towards the tall trees
Shaking off their summer leaves
As heavy wooden fingers wrap around me
