mmmusic: Steven Walker - Transient

hhello.  Name is steven walker.  Songwriter, voluntaryist, cofounded Voluntaryists of Austin, fun stuff.

This is a song called Transient, it's about being alive and not being dead.

       well i'm just a hole that a man stepped into
and i'm just a dream that i chose to have
i'm just a wish that i wish i could show you
    i'm just the one that i can't say i am
  and the ocean cradles the wind

  you're just an image that we like to talk to
    you're just a thing that don't know what it is
  you're just a story surrounding a something
you're just a glimpse, a shimmering mist
and the oceans cradle the winds
may our oceans cradle our winds

 she was the one who fixed your car
 she was the one who made you ill
she was the one who showed you the stars
 she was the one who made you stand still
and the oceans cradle the winds

   i was born and i know i will die
 and i found a crack to call my own
  and i spent fifty long years wondering why
and i'll spend 50 more accepting my home
  and i tossed and i turned in the bed of a savior
   who took out my eyes and turned them around
       so i left my bed and headed for Lincoln
         to hear my own voice as a thunderous sound
 and the oceans cradle the winds
   and your ocean cradles my wind

we're just a species who says what we are
   we're just a choice or the lack thereof
     we're just a series of circumstances
  between two peaks of loathing and love
  and the oceans cradles the wind
       and the ocean cradles the wind 

see ya
