brother, what's behind those eyes?
what stories, what wisdom, what fears?

oh, you came home on that freight car,
but you left your heart afar.

sketch 1: brother

middle of the year 21;
cutting off the "age of spirituals anciently told."

alive...
and clear to see...
i'm running under evolving leaves.

deeper release than a sinner on a leash.
drink from the living waters of knowing Why,
save me from the shameful hope of keeping a closed mind.

alive...
and clear to see...

joy: clear to see.
i'm running under evolving leaves.

...running under evolving leaves...

sketch 2: evolving leaves

unity: drowning in the sea of countless voices making noises

trading ideas with the currency of:
broken windows, broken people

seeing passion in your eyes for the things you love,
leaves me inspired

i may not see things like you do, 
but carry on because that's nothing new

dream with me and see...

i see unity
you're a part of me

the look that's in your eyes:
desiring compromise

why don't we be friends?
hate is not the end

the end is love.
