Listen To Life Sing

Listen to life sing, what a beautiful thing
As the wind whispers secrets to her sisters
Rivers flowing, as if they love not knowing

Oh, fuck the best in me, leave that to destiny
I want to exist like leaves and the air that breathes
I’ll fly with sparrows ducking bows and arrows

Oh, I’ll seduce the night as I welcome first light
No authority, only a soul to set free

Interesting images Paul as

Interesting images Paul as always, with an air of purity and quit relevant, indeed, to the surrounding circumstances of our existential predicament and a concise reminder of what is essential in life.
