Church

No politics, no organized religion, no love lost or sad stories...just the ramblings of a nature boy...

I don’t care how the whole thing started

Don’t need to know what’s next when I’m departed

The smell of rain on the wind is real

When I look at the stars I believe 

gods were made so cooler heads prevail


Meanwhile


Tell me what you sense babe

Out In the deep woods       

Does it set you free 

that’s church to me


There’s an aura of life light about you

There was once a mile of ice above you

Did aliens plant our seed back then

And monkey creatures become men

It could end up looking  like that again


Meanwhile


Does it blow your mind babe

On a stormy beach  

As the wind fights with the sea 

that’s church to me


Break   


Have you ever looked into ancient eyes

And felt a spirit move between minds

You can’t find it on a silver screen

Or buy it for a whole lot more

We all stand on the shoulders of those that came before


Meanwhile


Can you feel it in the air babe

On a snowy peak     

That sense of harmony

that’s church to me


Break scat

        

I’m not big on big creators

Never been a  good spectator

How could something come from nothing at all

And at the end what comes then

I’ll let you wonder while I play in the sun 

My friend


Can you feel the peace 

In the desert night

Hear the life that no one sees

That’s church to me


Scat 

     

Get your feet out in the sand

In a million years your bones will have turned back to stone

You’re a sentient one time thing

And while that time races by

You can’t touch life on a plastic screen


Meanwhile

            

Tell me what they say to you babe

The giant  redwood trees   

I think we both agree

that’s church to you and me

  • Love your guitar work on this track.

    Out In the deep woods       

    Does it set you free 

    that’s church to me

    Lovely words, though there's plenty more in this song!

    It's not the kind of song that gets stuck in your head, but it is the kind of song you keep coming back to for another listen.

  • Unusal vocal against that guitar progression . Sounds good man

    I like this style. Kind of free flow. Great guitar playing, singing and I like the message.

  • @StoneFlowers I love your theme as I don't go to church either. The church at large is too corrupted by the state and nature certainly serves as a church; the closeness to the Creator walking my dog along the riverbank or merely letting the sunshine warm my face and soothe my aching shoulders. So, yes that's "church to me"! Pretty guitar.
