there's a fire in the sky
it's a tower made of clouds
and it's power rings out over creation 
meanwhile on the ground
waves of frozen sound
break upon the backs of stale frustration
and citizens wake up at the sensation 
rub their eyes

no melody or words
could have cut quite like the sword
swung by the hand of evolution
to live and grow and die
without ever knowing why
knowing how to ask but finding no solution
calling it divine retribution
cut the cords

we're not abandoned
we are abandoning 
before we learned to talk
we had to learn to sing
without a plan
we can't demand a thing
we can't demand a thing

i was on my way to school
i saw her cross the street
and her power sent out waves upon the pavement
i pulled over then and there
i had to catch my breath
and stare in this delicate amazement 
i felt utterly exposed, stripped naked
to the bone

when she came up to the car
and asked, "do you know where we are?"
i couldn't tell if she was serious or joking
i tried to say yes
and planet earth, i guess
but the sounds out of my mouth were more like choking
in the distance some peeper frogs were croaking
to the moon

we were married
it was the first of may
and i carried her and she carried me
the entire way
it was scary
but it was the best day of my life
