Everyone Is Everyone (And Everything Is Everything)

Somehow I found myself here today

Awakened to these thoughts and feelings

Or an oceanic sense of lucid dreaming?

A strange sort of spherical sensation

With an overwhelming sense of apprehension

An emptiness that thunders out

From beyond the mind’s horizon

So far beyond our reach

Where consciousness coalesces

Like the billowing loom of thunder clouds

The streaming runs of thought go

‘Round and ’round and ’round

Till the dancing funnels of wind touch down

And the earth bows down in reverence

Lest it should be torn to pieces

And blown into oblivi-essence

And all who live will run and hide

And do what we’ve done since the dawn of time

Everyone flees from the cyclone winds of

One’s own mind

But if one day we should stand on the canyon’s edge

Peer out through the beating rain, the pounding wind

You’ll find that everyone is everyone

And everything is everything

Open up

Your hearts and minds

‘Cause I remember

Nothing

One day now

It all falls down

But love must keep on

Loving

So start the show

Here we go

Dark to light

The day from night

A roll of a mountain

A rip in the sky

Turning the dust to flesh

And ashes to breath

A pull of a muscle

A pin in the eye

An initial spark

To get this heart of mine pumping

And another

To get these feet of mine running

But sadly they’ve just taken me

To a place

Where all is devoid

Of your embrace

So baby now we’re falling

Baby now you’re falling

Baby yeah, yeah

Baby now we’re falling, baby yeah

Tripping and tumbling

Flipping and fumbling

Flowing on the rivers of sadness

That have been forever rumbling

But from dawn until now

Of all the paths that I could have gone down

Of all the valleys

That I could have been flowing through

In spite of all the chaos

And all that has come between us

How is it I still find myself

Here with you

So somehow we find ourselves here today

A feeling in this oceanic sense of lucid dreaming

A strange sort of spherical sensation

An emptiness that thunders out

From beyond the mind’s horizon

And all of us, we run and hide

Do what we’ve done since the dawn of time

Peering out through the beating rain

The pounding wind

Everyone is everyone

And everything is everything
