This is the last song I wrote for this. I knew I liked the idea of a water theme. I often used earthly themes to hide my personal thoughts and feelings behind. I watched another show talking about the Usselo Soil Horizon and how it was sort of confirmation of the great flood and the prophecy of that; and inferring that was proof of us not being alone.
lyrics
the years go flowing by now
carrying illusions of change
for what we saw as solid begins to fade away
shifting of directions
challenge our positions
so fearful of the rain
the rising of the oceans
changing distributions
find balance where we may
all we need is to listen to our dreams
the price we pay is the journey so it seems
rapid changing tides
burning deep inside
discovering new pain
a new conflagration changing the rotation
finding our new way
there you go again
you’ve pushed them all away
a demarcation of what more than words can say
just past the soil horizon
is a place where you can find a message to receive
there’s a light inside you
given to remind you of what it is to be free
and now we know that we are not alone
yes, I’m sure that we’ll never be alone
