about
It's about the promise of the rewards to come from tending to our internal gardens.
lyrics
when the day is feelin' heavy
and the mind is like a wheel undone, like a wheel undone.
take your story to the river,
let it fall in and then swim away, and then swim away.
when the sun's out, when the heat's in full,
in my garden i keep my mind real cool, keep my mind real cool.
when the sun sets, when the weedin's done,
i get myself clean and go have some fun, and go have some fun.
when the weedin' is all done i tell ya we're gonna have some fun,
yes, when the weedin' is all done we're gonna have us a little fun.
when you get just a little chance you gotta see how far it goes,
take the thing that’s in your chest and put it to the test.
when the deed is done and the garden's good
and the good spills out as it always should,
we're gonna have a good time, we're gonna have a good time.

Sonically, image if the Doors opened the windows and let in a little Disco....more
