Be Like The Reed

from Aries by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

What blew the wind through the sky?
What felt your words feel a lie?
What let the water flow from high to dry?
These are the questions that we have to read
These are the questions, so be like the reed

Calm, bitter, sirens, despair.
I think she even screamed with her hair.
What breaks the silence when it leaves its chair?
These are the questions that we have to read
These are the questions, so be like the reed

The role that the tongue plays with words.
You, to discomfort, become inured.
The way is the way is the way is the way is the way
These are the questions that we have to read
These are the questions, so be like the reed

Tongue clicking disdain for pay.
The rising of sun starts the day.
The way is the way is the way...

These are the questions that we have to read...
These are the questions, so be like the reed.
