See the fruit of competition
compiled in old newspapers on the floor
Endless patterned repetitions persist in keeping score
See the puzzle in the patchwork of light
all around the picture frame,
There’s a presence in the air tonight
that doesn’t have a name, but all the same
See the fossil fuel addictions
that bake the atmosphere while prices soar
How they threaten our existence and all we’ve struggled for
See how civilization’s coin decays,
but something’s shining in its wake:
A recognition in the mutual gaze
that everything’s at stake, almost awake
Climbing the tree of knowledge, everything at stake
Climbing the tree of knowledge, almost awake
See the root of love’s fruition
in our choices more and more
Reverberate with intuition, the ever-present door
Feel new framework on the airwaves tonight
reconnecting with the gardens we’ve crossed
There’s a presence in this patchwork of light
that understands the cost of gardens lost
Climbing the tree of knowledge, everything at stake
Climbing the tree of knowledge, almost awake
Climbing the tree of knowledge, sacred hoop at stake
Climbing the tree of knowledge, almost awake, almost awake
