Tapestry-Don McLean

[00:01.780]Tapestry -Don McLean [00:13.950]Every thread of creation is held in position [00:20.70]By still other strands of things living [00:24.870]In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline [00:29.500]Of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar [00:35.960]As not to be satisfied with their own negativity [00:41.210]But needing to touch all the living as well [00:52.560]And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath [00:58.330]We exhale on the blue diamond heaven: [01:03.810]As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer [01:09.360]As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin [01:15.40]Were poisoned by venom with each breath we take [01:20.650]From the brown sulfer chimney and the black highway snake [01:34.340]And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension [01:40.510]Like the yolk of the egg in albumen [01:45.940]Where the birth and the death of unseen generations [01:51.490]Are interdependant in vast orchestration [01:56.360]And painted in colors of tapestry thread [02:01.480]When the dying are born and the living are dead [02:12.780]And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment [02:18.80]That flows through the veins of your being [02:23.640]Like a river of life flowing on since creation [02:29.810]Approaching the sea with each new generation [02:35.50]Youre now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace [02:41.110]That is rapidly drowning the whole human race [02:53.150]And every fish that swims silent every bird that fly freely [03:00.140]Every doe that steps softly [03:04.950]Every crisp leaf that falls all the flowers that grow [03:11.370]On this colorful tapestry somehow they know [03:17.370]That if man is allowed to destroy all we need [03:23.230]He will soon have to pay with his life for his greed
