lyrics

No time to gently steam it open
No time to fold it back into place
I was given a map of some kind
But I don’t know the way to take it out of my pocket

Look to the stars, or look to the bird that flies
Or see, which way, you feel, the wind is leading
I know we were all born in Spirit
But somehow we were raised in Material Territory
We live, we breathe in Material Territory right now

If you are born with a sense of patience and respect
You can always get along with your family, your sister, your brother
If you keep enough, if you take the time to remember
You can always get along, you can always get along

We were all born, born in Spirit and
We were all given a boat of some kind
And we were all given some wide water to get ourselves across
We are all seeing our way through Material Territory, right now

A final call, a saving grace
Take it in, make some calls, and sleep until tomorrow
All stays safe, all stays quiet
If you’ll remember it all started this way when all was so easy with nothing required of you
