Are we the salt from the ocean spray,or were we made to dissipate the snow?When you can never tell a storm or swell,you're buried in the earth.The sailors watch for colored skies,while farmers pray for black and white.If you can't predict cirrus or cumulousit's best to fear the worst of it.I've rolled the dice with my kids and wife.I've reaped a life of turbulence.I built the cage, though I am the prey,I long to see the daylight.What the neighbors sowed, in fertile soil,has grown to break the surface.With his mother's eyes, the boy arrives,and love's the proclamation.?Father, I have watched the tide.I know the captain goes down with his ship,Oh to see the sun, through a brother's hope,has given me the courage.?Weather changes everythingand weather is always changing.The tides, of course, are cyclicalbut the wind is unpredictable.Land erodes and forests growSongtexteif the wind and sun allow.But, our hands can learn to excavate.Dry fields can be plowed.If we find out what is comingwe can plan which way to go.Foxes dig deep warm holes.Bears sleep through the snow.Seagulls flock to southern statesto guard another's shore,while sailors watch horizonsfor the colors of a storm.If he chooses to avoid themhis own brother could drown.If we do not plant the seednothing comes from fertile ground.If we stay inside all wintersnow will come as due reward.If we hide away from cloudburstsrain will wash away our farms.Its what we do in tidal wavesthat we find out who we are.Its why we bet on cards.What we whispers behind a bar.It grows calmest at the eyeas we make our last decision.Judge us by how we lived our livesnot by how we made our living.For the last seventeen years,we would all patiently wait,but what was meant to destroyhas become the capstonefor futures that we will create.Rejoice, the storm's through,Rebuild, the day's new.Rejoice, the rain's doneRelive while love blooms.(Rewind, while love sings.)
