Primitive Future Songtext
von Ferron

I thought I′d hear it like you might hear thunder
I thought I'd see it like you might see a river run dry
I never thought the choice was yours and mine
One day I′m resting in a good friend's garden
And it's then I notice the strangest kind of bird fly by
Is that how it goes with sliding time

Comes a calling
Comes a signal
We are every
We are any
We are all

I feel a pull so I wander to the center of town
I′m not legal as the people are already there
Families with children pulled in tight and low
No time to talk about what time does
No time for anything the way that anything was
No time but time to know


Comes a guiding
Comes a shining
We are every
We are any
We are all

Oh my planet
Oh my present that ever unfurls
Now we′ve done it
Do you think it can be a lesson well learned
Oh my mother
Oh my sisters and brothers
It's our moment and I know that faces can turn

I see us all run for the river of knowledge
The pain we must feel is the pain we call the ache of truth
The light in the center can lead us through
And the price we pay so we′ll see it from the same side
Is the earth mother the bearer of the perfect fruit
Will we be able to see her through

Comes a whisper
Comes a gleaning
We are every
We are any
We are all
