W h i s p e r i n g    L i l l i e s  



As we look to justify poor natures cry for some mutual respect

we cant hear with the phone in our ear but our fears make it clear its true what some suspect 

the ice is melting and the greenhouse gas is unnaturally high

sometimes the only way to reach a crowd is to tell them they might die

Lillies whisper to the trees, 

look around our world is suffering from disease

but the bugs in the Bush say get down on your knees 

and thank God for our health and our wealth there’s no disease, with a sneeze

Our meals are monochrome and chemically grown like chickens with no heads

we buy what they provide and what’s inside exciting packages

but Harry wont each Kix he just likes Trix that marketing might play

who needs food that is whole when some sugar in a bowl is a silly rabbits way to start the day

Lily loves her processed cheese

and every dinner is store bought in the deep freeze

and the clown and the crown pack lunch with MSG

and we wonder why we're fat and still hungry

He works hard in his box with his eyes on the clock anxious for the end

and when it comes there's no time to relax or unwind before another starts again

driving his SUV wound so tightly and gaining greater speed

he fights with his kids and his wife no time to question his life or what it really means to succeed

Mother hushes crying babes

while poor daddy pops a vein lets all behave

cause the cars and the boat left us with all those fees

and we all need new cell phones and mp3s

Lillies whisper to the trees

look around our world is suffering from disease

so we pray to our God that we may be released

from the stress and the mess of the 21st century
