Back To Basics
Back To Basics
Let's walk the country road and faithfully
keep cadence with the heartbeat of the wild,
where life, unveiled in naked truth, sets free
her gift of innocence. Just like a child,
unblemished...pure in body, mind, and soul...
finds simple joy with each new day unfurled,
we'll stand alone with nature and extol
the basic, priceless treasures of our world.
We've built our prison-cities; in their hold
like, programmed flesh-machines we stop and run.
The human longings in us soon grow cold
as we turn switches on for work and fun.
Let's walk the country road...let's laugh and play
before the tears of time wash it away.
