c. Spring 2006 .Written while in transition at Danielle’s house in Urbana, IL after Hurricane Katrina

lyrics

Well the evening’s dark, but the morning’s light.
If you want something different, hold on tight!
You can’t help but move through this fight.
You can’t help but blossom into flight.

Little soldier: you’ve gotten older
but you’re still marking under the gun of old memories.
Let them be!

You know the earth spins thousands of miles a minute,
though it seems we’re standing still, still we’re moving: taking the sun out
and putting it back in our windowsill.
Movements like that, you can’t stop even if you’re willing.
No, you can’t hold back the life that you’re fulfilling.
