  • ===Lyrics===
    Held in hands, a warm cup
    Of skin always taken in by peers
    And friends and the heightened fears
    Over the years
    Now I know I'm not like everyone
    In this head I see the ground
    You came from, unknown, undug
    From where you were staying in
    A backyard bed until
    We came together
    Raspberry, in my hand
    You feel alright but I don't
    Know if I am
    I can't change
    What I am right now, but
    I'll be fine in the next life
    I know I can say, I'm honest
    With myself and with
    My red tasty gem
    And sure they will try, but
    They can't take away
    My secret loving friend
    And on a good day, my mind
    Is like the country...green wide open
    A breath of zen that's nice
    On the eyes, lonely, without a prayer
    Take the trip that I have
    I am at risk
    But I guess you know...
    Explosions
    From the goldfish bowl
    Visions
    Of blue girls crying stars
    The more the garden sings
    The harder it gets to stay in
    There are a lot of choices
    So many voices ruling me
    So many of them at once
    Yelling, "Everything's a mess"...I know

    Canada really should make an effort to export this kind of talent to the world. Tragically Hip, Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth and so many others could have been international stars.

    This isn't I mother Earth's best song, but it's my favorite for some reason. The prechorus and chorus just get me rockin' out. This is back when real music was out.

      But this might be their best.........because the middle is as powerful as the pre-chorus with their harmonies. They knew when to play soft and hard.
