We are the people of a new era, with patchwork hearts and longings in craters
We are the people of a new era, with patchwork hearts and longings in craters,
The generation of bold dreams sketched on shards of fallen stars.
Let us not forget, let us breathe in: the source of dizzying love springs from our depths,
From the secret garden of the self, where I and me merge in an embrace.
I

Humanity honey
Windows open wide in the middle of the night,
inhaling the brisk air, soaking up some moon light.
It's cracks and craters were calling to me,

There was a man in the moon clearly laughing with glee..
I said, "dear sir, what on earth is so funny?"

The Craters of Costa Rica
The Craters Of Costa Rica

To the Craters of the Moon
Life's long lost in the thunder
as a conscience slowly bleeds,
Hearts have been hung out to dry
over long forsaken needs.
Songs once sung are distant now,

The words have lost their meanings
with the
