Circles

Ball of dust and cloud of steam

Ripples float down the stream

And a single cell divides

Breathe in and out, blue and green

I see no stitch nor any seam

So where does the needle hide?

Dry your wings, butterfly

A new view from the sky

Is waiting just for you

Sow a seed and see what grows

In the silence of the earth

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Another speck we do not heed

Is a world we can't yet read

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Blackbird upon the wire

Has joined in the twilight choir

I fly and perch beside her

This love I know's not new

But each time I fall for you

Seeing you with different eyes

A core of fire, emerald and stars

Coiled tigers behind bars

And storybooks filled with holes

Sow a seed and see what grows

In the silence of the earth

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Another speck we do not heed

Is a world we can't yet read

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

A tree stands tall beneath the sun

Whispering through the roots love's spun

Oh where does the water hide?

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Who's the cleverest of them all?

I know the shapes and now can mold

Sow a seed and see what grows

In the silence of the earth

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Another speck we do not heed

Is a world we can't yet read

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Dive down deep to a place

Where the creatures knew my face

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

I saw a rock open its eyes

It was a master of disguise

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

He looked at me, I looked at him

His eyes were full of wisdom

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever

Don't don't you know, don't don't you know

Know that life's forever
