lyrics

Father talk about,
talk about the world.
The languages and currency,
people and the work

Office towers in the clouds,
aircraft in the sky,
bridges tunnels telescopes,
lightning rods and traffic lights

Waiting to
meet you,
where does it lead to,
who knows?

Mother talk about,
talk about the land.
Plants and animals,
how the earth began

Circling of the vultures,
python on a limb,
moonlight scattered on the sea,
whales and dolphin swim.
The race, the chase,
the fight or flight.
Something lurking in the star filled night-

ebbing and
flowing
where it's all going,
who knows?

pre-chorus:

I can’t answer
yes or no
I watch the pretty butterflies, flutter by
and make an educated guess

chorus:

Each turn of the globe
Everyday arriving home

pre-chorus:

I can’t answer
yes or no
I watch the pretty butterflies, flutter by
and make an educated guess

chorus:

Each turn of the globe
Castaways arriving home
Braided knowns and unknowns,
Everyday arriving home
No, they’re not alone,
Castaways arriving back home.

Oh the beating hearts
And the rising tide
And the winking moon in the opal sky
Oh the beating hearts
Are just keeping time
And the winking moon in the opal sky
