   Clearing webs from a hovel blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
  I've been digging too deep I always do
  I see my face on the surface I look a lot like Narcissus
  Dark abyss of an emptiness standing on the edge of a drowning blue
  
  I look behind my ears for the green
  And even my sweat smells clean
  Glare off the white hurts my eyes
  I gotta get out of bed and get a hammer and a nail
  Learn how to use my hands
  Not just my head I think myself into jail
  But I know refuge never grows
  From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
  Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
  
  I had a lot of good intentions sit around for fifty years and then collect the pensions
  I started seeing the road to hell and just where it starts
  My life is more than a vision the sweetest part is acting after making a decision
  Started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts
  
  I look behind my ears for the green
  And even my sweat smells clean
  Glare off the white hurts my eyes
  I gotta get out of bed and get a hammer and a nail
  Learn how to use my hands
  Not just my head I think myself into jail
  Now I know refuge never grows
  From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
  Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
  
  My life is part of the global life I found myself becoming more immobile
  When I think a little girl in the world can't do anything
  Distant nation my community street person my responsibility
  If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring
  
  I look behind my ears for the green
  And even my sweat smells clean
  Glare off the white hurts my eyes
  I gotta get out of bed and get a hammer and a nail
  Learn how to use my hands
  Not just my head I think myself into jail
  But I know refuge never grows
  From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
  Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
