You know how you can sense the mood of a room right away when you enter. That little grouping is somehow talking to the new member. I've read a lot of Arnold Mindel's writing about how each collection of people has a wisdom of it's own, a process it's in the middle of and we are enmeshed in it. We can listen for the bigger tune and find our part in it.
Lyrics
Been here five generations
Grandma’s still around
Still plant corn in the summer
Raise livestock on the grounds
Draw water by the bucket
No better way been found, oh but
[Chorus]
A change is coming, a coming down for sure
My knees 'r' grumblin' as I'm headed for the door
These bones don’t lie, bespeak a higher power
There’s a change for sure a coming, coming by the hour.
[verse 2]
When I was young we had TV
Off the air at half past 10
Now it's 24-7 internet but
Who is watchin' who my friend?
It never sleeps, where I meet my peeps
Tell me how this gonna end, oh yes
[chorus]
[Verse 3]
America the beautiful
our grand experiment
Of and by and for ua all
so long seemed heaven sent
So good but so divided
Can't agree just to pay the rent, oh there's....
[instrumental break]
[verse 4]
There's change you gotta see,
Been buggin' you so long.
Can't abide no backward slide
Gonna be where you belong
And the way you're gonna bring it
We can't help but to come along, gonna be the
[final chorus]
Change that's coming, coming down for sure
Are your knees a-grumblin? Are you headed for the door?
These bones don't lie, bespeak a higher power
There's a change for sure a coming, coming by the hour
Yes there's a change for sure a coming, coming by the hour!
