a song about my family

lyrics

and my family C) puppeteer 2022

home, have you ever thought of home
in crowded towns feeling alone
under the blue dome of all known genome

come, children of the stars, of the sun
time to call this story done
life is old but yours has just begun

those who took control of the land of your soul must have met the goal by force
nobody willingly gives up the ghost
the ones who claimed authority and took us all off course
still control the most

no such hubris in the gentleness, dignity, of the horse
the watchful nimble-winged dragonfly
hovers to stay warm in the brilliance of the source

with all who share the sky
my homily
my elegy to puny me
and my family

(instrumental)

wolf craves fox craves hawk craves squirrel
craves blue jay craves oriole
craves caterpillar craves peppermint

all and more entwined in an embracing dance
can you risk taking a chance
that your every step won't leave footprints?

how do brains wiped clean by the money machine see what's real and what is fake?
will it be too late when the humans start to wake?
how does a race that goes in space not see its mistake
when one blue world stares back at its face

we are billion year old giants with a cortex there to use
the real savages, not those whom we abused
are we bound by greed like the Brothers Grimm about the Golden Goose

my melody
my homily
my elegy to puny me
and my family

my elegy to puny me
and my family
