Solid dreams, our gateway to freedom
Shimmering glass off glowing palisade
The forest meets the sky at the flowering treetops
I stretch the branches to meet the demand
I don’t know where you are
I look for your face in the sky
Become lost in depth so deep I am swallowed down
Inside my own mind; what rues the fate and what learns the game

Lightning bugs adrift in the wind
Lighting my way to an enchantment
Superficial beauty, but I feel something deeper, too
Glorious anthem and I am reborn
For the very second time
The life left behind

Congo war drums, pulsating to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Pulsing - quaking the land
The trees uproot and topple over me
Crushing and destroying; more light is allowed below the canopy
I no longer need to climb so high
To see your face in the sky

Make the land into one more farm
To harvest and harm
Sustenance for the population; robbing the world
Barren wasteland, no canopy to block your shadow
Takes me to the union
Brings me back to the jungle
Egotism and fire abstained
Instinct alone remains
