Who Me

(Ballad of the Hoot Owls)

10:40

Soundlessly

dark has settled

drenched the earth

waking the nocturne

suddenly from on high

an emphatic cry

Voice 1:

I who am here am here who

I am who is here

Is there a you here who

I who am here am here who

I am who is here

Listening for you here who

5:40

Faintest glow

barely preceding

premonition of dawn

stills night's last

suddenly from on high

again an emphatic cry

Voice 1:

I who am here am here who

I am who is here

Is there a you here who

I who am here am here who

I am who is here

Listening for you here who

Voice 2:

I who too am here now am here who

I too am who is here

Is that you here too who

I who too am here now am here who

I too am who is here

Is that you here too who

Voice 1:

I who am here now am glad who

Am happy that you are here too

Am happy there is a you who

Is happy that I am here too who

Voice 2:

I who too am here now am glad who

Am happy there's now a happy you who

Listens at night for my who too

As I listen at night for your who who

The Wave

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way, and a wave.

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way,

Forever is the day of the wave and the way.

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way.

Life is like a beach, there's a wave, and a way.

When love is within reach, there's a way.

The pain is there to teach us a way of the wave
and that within the wave there's more than one way

When you're on your own, there's a wave, and a way.

If your heart begins to groan, there's a way.

There is kindness you'll be shown by the wave, by the way,
and sharing kindness, if you will, is the way.

As we sail the stars, there's a wave, and a way.

If our Earth becomes like Mars, there's a way.

As we move out of our cars, out of the way of that wave,

we'll no longer be like slaves all our days.

As you live and breathe, there's a wave, and a way.

When your laughter turns to grief, there's a way.

It will cleanse all your beliefs and will show you the way,

the way to laugh and to believe every day.

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way, and a wave.

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way.

Forever is the day of the wave and the way.

Wherever there's a wave, there's a way.
