We're all a stitch Cut from the same thread The thread weaves back through time An umbilical line From a fireside 400, 000 years ago To all those who'll be born tomorrow And the needle's eye's no coincidence And each stitch is blind to its consequence Don't let the fire go out Don't let the fire go out Let it burn! We're all a square of earth Fertile with dreams and desires And to dust we'll all return It's a hard lesson to learn That youth can't conceive of its' ending Until the back like the branch starts bending Then a weariness falls without a sound And if heaven exists it's in the ground So stick your hands deep in the soil The earthworm's a marvel of industry and toil Feel the earth! We're all pure energy That can't be created or destroyed We just change from form to form An electrical storm That crackles with all the events of our lives And from birth to death a spark survives So soon enough we'll meet the ground as lightening To fire another day as it's brightening You did your best right to the end Turned the machines off and let the breath expend And that was love
