It isn't the ones so busy
Capturing their neighbor's eye
But it is the one that hears the vibrations
Of His spirit passing by
Many go their way
Not hearing the subtle call
They are too absorbed in the age
To hear the sparrow fall
The way of truth is narrow
Many are choked with all their care
Their senses dulled from selfish gain
Passing angels unaware
He sent them messengers in dreams
That were forgotten when their feet hit ground
Warning them of trouble
To turn themselves around
They began to desire the clatter
Of the world gone mad
Lost and tossed in translation
And forfeited the peace they had
Sit down on Mother Earth
Connect with what is real
Peel off the counterfeit masks
And you will begin to feel
The sin is not in getting caught
In the thicket on your way
It is refusing to heed the calling
Of the Creator's gentle way
Do you hear the red road calling
To ground your feet on earth
To find the truth in who you are
The purpose of your birth

And run circles around
They told us all when we were young,
We were too young to ask,
Our songs weren't ready to be sung,
Like childhood was a task
Leave the saying of a false truth
To the vain, lame, and rowdy uncouth
For truth is more than just a word
To have freedom,
