The Mica in the Stone

Liner Notes

I’m traveling. I do have my uke but maybe not the time to set this to music. For now, #lyricsonly

Inspired by where I am and my love for Rocky Mountain National Park, one of my spiritual homes.

Lyrics

V1 Nothing’s ever new,
Announced the hiker to the hill
If I don’t push this boulder, baby
— Someone else will
And the rabbit pauses in the grass
To twitch as I pass by
I wish somebody’d lift my gaze,
Remind me of the sky

CHORUS
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone
Everybody’s colors looking for a home
Landed on this spinning rock,
Might not be quite alone
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone

V2 Everything is new,
I heard the mountain tell the sea
Just one pebble shifts,
One flower blooms alongside me
And the ants just keep on crawling
With their finite kind of dreams
Nobody inside can step out,
That’s the way it seems

CHORUS
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone
Everybody’s colors looking for a home
Landed on this spinning rock,
Might not be quite alone
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone

BRIDGE
They’re trying hard to make machines
To solve the puzzle of our math
The way we sometimes catch each other’s eye
— And have to laugh

The wind is in the aspens now
Not quite whisper, not quite roar
I’m sitting, thinking of you,
Like that’s what this sunshine’s for

CHORUS
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone
Everybody’s colors looking for a home
Landed on this spinning rock,
Might not be quite alone
The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone

The green, the gold, the rainbow
Of the mica in the stone
