about

I watched a tiny sparrow going about its life in the middle of a concrete jungle in Bangkok....Being touched by nature surviving in that environment inspired this song....

lyrics

The traffic stands still again and locked are the doors, the solitary driver feels lonely once more
In a city of millions driving round the bend, surrounded by people but none are his friend
Sparrow watches from his nest up high, in concrete and steel he has learned how to fly
Feeding on the scraps of humanities waste, don’t wake me up now, cause I still have the taste
Of the roots that grow, so deep in the ground, and the birds that sing in their sweet song of sound
In the cracks in the concrete a seed has been sown, it is traveling, moving, growing,
and becoming strong once again. Or so i am told
Why we trample the ground with our cities of steel, this greed it moves on with no thought for the wheel,
that is turning the cycles that give us this life, we are walking this time on the edge of a knife
Can you feel the connection that grows in the air, I’m breathing it here and your breathing it there
We are bound by the same in this lifetime of form, come feel the glory of each day thats born
Where the roots still grow, so deep in the ground, and the birds still sing in their sweet song of sound
In the cracks in the concrete a seed has been sown,
It is traveling, moving, growing, and becoming strong once again
Let the beauty unfold, wrapped in silver and gold, to have and to hold
