Recorded - Friday the 13th of April, 2012 at Kawari Sound Studios in Wyncote, Pennsylvania. With the amazing oversight, generosity, care, patience and talent of many wonderful folks. Huge thanks to Karl Reiders and Zach Goldstein, and to Adam Winokur and Nate Kowalski... and to Arielle for being such an inspiration and driving me to the studio and Alex for letting me use his car to go renew my driver's license... and to Anjuli for singing and thanks so everyone who was involved in this adventure...
lyrics
were ya born
were ya raised
did you learn
how to say yer own name...
one day
ya first comb yer hair
at yer beautiful face
you stare and you stare...
was there shame
was there pride
a rusting razor-blade
scrape the paint from yer eyes.. scrape the pain from yer eyes... scrape the paint from yer eyes...
no one here
is satisfied
until we are free
from all the shimmer and shine...
it comes from the core
of mama earth
so we know with out knowing,
we sing with out words...
mmmm mmmm mmmm
we are the heart of the mountain
we are the heart of the sky
we are the snakes and the ladders
we are the jaguars midnight cry
we are the magnetic diamonds
we are a death sentence pardon
we are a snail in the garden
we are the daydreams of children
the children of the sun
are the children of the earth..
we are the children of the earth
