lyrics

Welcome back.
From the Garden of Eden,
it’s Zack de la Rouda.
God’s still talking to me, man,
so I offer the truth to you:
I’m going off like a bomb, a shot, or an alarm clock,
honoring trees -
the authorities calling it treasonous -
but I know they’re deceiving us,
and the wolf that you wanna be feeding wins.
Ain’t it so easy, kids?
Love is alive - your heart’s beating, isn’t it?
Look up in the sky - ain’t the breeze blowing it?
Your feet muddy as mine - ain’t the keys to wisdom always be within us?
Breathe a minute. Meditate:
if it’s gravy, eat a bit of it.
Is it illegitimate to enjoy living
even though we need resistance to the evil system?
Nah, I call BS.
I could not believe this is the only reason
we’ve been given the gift of the present moment to exist in.
If we want freedom we should probably be focusing on getting it.
Can’t come up short of the distance.
Gotta work hard in the picture I’m envisioning.
Tell me, if you dig with a shovel or your fingertips,
and you really feel it you could sing it with me:

CHORUS
I am a grass leaf
I am a rock on a hill
I am the glass beach
I am a pocket of air
I am the vast sea right at the bottom of it
I’m on that massive peak high on the spine of the summit
We feel the heart of the world
We wanna offer our help
And where its falling apart
We wanna rebuild
I been talking to god
Cause i been walking by hell
I read the bible by walt
It's called song of myself

Moving along.
Knife, ax and a saw.
Shelter, water, fire, food in that order.
I got my back to the wall when I camp.
Moonlight guide for the path that I walk
and the coal burn bright when its kept in my palm.
Gone all night through the dark till the dawn,
not gonna pause even if i really wanna.
Got a goal set and i'm going for the gold.
I don’t know yet but i hope i’m going home.
Never gonna give a percentage less than a hundred
got a good work ethic. that's what lesson one is
Look, lately i been running from problems
But i'm gonna conquer them like a conquest,
sure as any prophet.
All i really wanna be is honest
when i come through like a promise.
We could all be marathon runners.
What was it you wanted?
Never forget about your tomorrows.
You gotta stay up like a top or you gonna hit bottom.
This is a song for myself that i'm gon sing
when i’m struggling
under the thumb of big brother and the government.
See if you follow this:
to quote Muhammad from the Book Of Islam he said that Allah what you call god cause it’s “allah dis.”

CHORUS
