about

Written during a rainstorm about how clearcuts cause mudslides

lyrics

These hills are home, habitats torn
and tossed to the town, inhabitants forlorn
When the tops you take, the ground begins to shake
the future will follow the paths that you make

Chorus-
When will this rain wash us all away
gon clear this old mountain just like it's judgment day
These shallow roots can't hold all this clay
gon slide down this mountain and take what's in its way

Tangled in roots, mycelium and shoots
the wise one will know to look beyond the fruit
What's surface deep will haunt me in my sleep
the fool is the one thinking dirt is theirs to keep

Chorus

Soil in the spring with life it could bring
it runs to the river to muck up everything
Mud in the fall, without the forest tall
it pours over parched earth its path covers all

Chorus
