Lyrics

In the misty silver night My eyes fall to the ground I can feel it come alive In the seeds pushing out through the soil New life weaves its way out through the coil Nothing's gonna hold this movement down I was apart from it My head in the sky With no ears to listen No light reached my eye There rolls the fungi Still tied to its past For the melting of the solid world The change is coming fast And it's, oh-oh, I've got the water falling on me It's all waking me up I've got the sunlight warming my back Warming up all my bones I've got the cool breeze right on my skin Bringing every cell to life Making all connection's life From one point to another And we're all here, just the same Try to make some sense of it Where I'm going now How it fits together In the bigger shape of things And I slide into the waves Leaving land behind It's another world I'm entering now There's the shark pushing through the swaying reeds Predator and prey sort out their needs Nothing's gonna hold this pattern down I was apart from it In a world of our own We'd lost all connection To the place from which we'd grown But here in this helmet I can read other minds And scan all the thinking All the juice I can find And it's, oh-oh, I've got the water falling on me It's all waking me up I've got the sunlight warming my back Warming up all my bones I've got the cool breeze right on my skin Bringing every cell to life Making all connection's life From one point to another And we're all here just the same Try to make some sense of it Where I'm going now How it fits together In the bigger shape of things Water falls on me It's waking up the world Water falls on us Pouring from the head Pouring from the head Pouring from the head Oh-oh, I've got the water falling on me I've got the sunlight warming my back I've got the cool breeze right on my skin I've got the water falling on me Water falling on me
