Church
No politics, no organized religion, no love lost or sad stories...just the ramblings of a nature boy...
I don’t care how the whole thing started
Don’t need to know what’s next when I’m departed
The smell of rain on the wind is real
When I look at the stars I believe
gods were made so cooler heads prevail
Meanwhile
Tell me what you sense babe
Out In the deep woods
Does it set you free
that’s church to me
There’s an aura of life light about you
There was once a mile of ice above you
Did aliens plant our seed back then
And monkey creatures become men
It could end up looking like that again
Meanwhile
Does it blow your mind babe
On a stormy beach
As the wind fights with the sea
that’s church to me
Break
Have you ever looked into ancient eyes
And felt a spirit move between minds
You can’t find it on a silver screen
Or buy it for a whole lot more
We all stand on the shoulders of those that came before
Meanwhile
Can you feel it in the air babe
On a snowy peak
That sense of harmony
that’s church to me
Break scat
I’m not big on big creators
Never been a good spectator
How could something come from nothing at all
And at the end what comes then
I’ll let you wonder while I play in the sun
My friend
Can you feel the peace
In the desert night
Hear the life that no one sees
That’s church to me
Scat
Get your feet out in the sand
In a million years your bones will have turned back to stone
You’re a sentient one time thing
And while that time races by
You can’t touch life on a plastic screen
Meanwhile
Tell me what they say to you babe
The giant redwood trees
I think we both agree
that’s church to you and me
M e a n w h i l e……….

Love your guitar work on this track.
Out In the deep woods
Does it set you free
that’s church to me
Lovely words, though there's plenty more in this song!
It's not the kind of song that gets stuck in your head, but it is the kind of song you keep coming back to for another listen.

I like this style. Kind of free flow. Great guitar playing, singing and I like the message.

@StoneFlowers I love your theme as I don't go to church either. The church at large is too corrupted by the state and nature certainly serves as a church; the closeness to the Creator walking my dog along the riverbank or merely letting the sunshine warm my face and soothe my aching shoulders. So, yes that's "church to me"! Pretty guitar.
