You wove a landscape of yellow and green
An island, a forest, a wondrous scene
Then everything changed in the blink of an eye
And we all looked for answers and wondered why
If I have love for your root and your flower
Then the fear and the hatred won't have any power
Hurricane, shuriken, throw them at me
If I am still, they will fall silently
Tossing and turning our way through the sea
Searching this earth for the right way to be
Aching and shaking, we went on our knees
For the gods of ourselves were so hard to appease
If I have love for your root and your flower
Then the fear and the hatred won't have any power
Hurricane, shuriken, throw them at me
If I am still, they will fall silently
He led us onwards and laughed with such ease
As we travelled the oceans and sailed on the breeze
Each time we listened and each time we heard
A feeling of love for each other was stirred
If I have love for your root and your flower
Then the fear and the hatred won't have any power
Hurricane, shuriken, throw them at me
If I am still, they will fall silently
But then in a moment, at night, he was gone
But the love and connection and memories live on
The harder the lesson, the deeper the layers
But for those who can listen, the band is the players
Somebody told me in yellow and green
As we walked past the tube and the kids on the scene
An echo of something I thought I had heard
Should I have listened or was it a dream?
