Can't Lose Anymore

about

Written after visiting the Eden Project in Cornwall in England and learning how trees and plants communicate via a mycorrhizal fungal network of interconnections. A recommended read on this topic is Merlin Sheldrake’s ‘Entangled Life’.

lyrics

CAN’T LOSE ANYMORE Ian Roland

VERSE 1
I SEE IN SHADOWS, YOUR PATTERN ON THE HILL
I AM MOVING, LOOKS LIKE I’M STANDING STILL

CHORUS
THERE’S A MESSAGE COMING DOWN STREAM
OUR ROOTS ARE INTERTWINED……
HOLD THE LIGHTNESS, (HOLD THE LIGHT)

VERSE 2
AS THE SUN RISE, CATCH THE LIGHT OF DAY
LIFE RUSHING THROUGH US, A BRILLIANT RELAY

CHORUS
THERE’S A MESSAGE COMING DOWN STREAM
OUR ROOTS ARE INTERTWINED
HOLD THE LIGHTNESS, (HOLD THE LIGHT)

MID
CAMBERWELL BEAUTY AND A CHALK HILL BLUE
TORTOISESHELL, LANDING ON YOU
MARBLE WHITE AND MEADOW BROWN
ORANGE TIP, SMALL HEATH, YOU FOUND.
RED ADMIRAL, SWALLOWTAIL IN FLIGHT
WHITE LETTER HAIRSTREAK, BRILLIANT SMALL WHITE
SILVER-WASHED FRITILLARY
MOUNTAIN RINGLET, BRIMSTONE, HOW THEY SET US FREE.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

CHORUS
THERE’S A MESSAGE COMING DOWN STREAM
OUR ROOTS ARE INTERTWINED
HOLD THE LIGHTNESS, HOLD THE LIGHT
HOLD THE LIGHTNESS, HOLD THE LIGHT
