From the recording Constant Running River
This track reflects on disconnection—between body and soul, people and their inner selves, the present and meaning. It’s both a lament and a call to awareness, urging listeners to reconnect with their deeper selves. The imagery of water, depth, and the sleeping world enhances the sense of searching and awakening. Musically, it’s contemplative and expansive, mirroring the vast distances the song speaks of.
Lyrics
A song for my people wherever they are speckled and spotted pole to pole
Born in a time when the body and mind are so far away from the soul
And all the children alone on the street ditched and dumped in a hole
Lost and confused the bitter is sweet when you're so far away from the soul
I went to the well where the water is deep I went to the bottom
When I came up the whole world was asleep and I was long forgotten
I'm trying to reach out and be a friend share a melody
I'm trying to reach out with words from within that are coming from my soul
