lyrics

are you more than just a sum of these reactions
i hear something in your cries, something that’s still actives
in your eyes
you still give rise
to small acts of creation

uncle fritz, he scratched an itch, that’s a reaction
but the sources of that itch, where active styles switch
once formed the grist
for monkeys in the mist
to fashion our creation

active and reactive
two forces wax attractive
one builds better days
spite oceans washing them away
the tide rolls in….

you want the secret to living a life that’s not reactive
its through the rituals we choose, the bodies that we bruise
so that they’re stronger
and our days are longer
and full of small creation

you want the secret to a life that fully active
its a struggle every day, no one showing you the way
but you’ll meet others
traveler and lovers
of the small acts of creation
