\nA couple things were lurking in the background with this song. One was Starry Starry Night. Not just the image of it but the creation of it and then what it represents. The other was a quote from Nisargadatta Maharaj: “When I look inside and see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I look outside and see that I am everything, that is love…” <\/p>\n

I didn’t set out to then write a song about these things, but they were definitely hanging around in old haunted house. <\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/p>\n

I am the ocean
\nI live where I drown
\nThe moon turns me over
\nThe sun burns me down<\/p>\n

I am the mountain
\nI rise like a wing
\nThe wind is my shepherd
\nThe trees are my king
\nWhat can I do?
\nWhat can I do?<\/p>\n

Blessed are the trees
\nAnd the birds and bees
\nAnd the bark and shell
\nAnd the church and bell<\/p>\n

Blessed is the breeze
\nAll the whistling leaves
\nIn the wishing well
\nHear the whispering yell<\/p>\n

I am the river
\nAnd I am the ground
\nI am the silence
\nAnd I am the sound<\/p>\n

I am the atom
\nThat can\u2019t be destroyed
\nI am the motion
\nAnd I am the void<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
