Become the Earth Feist

We aim for the air
One wing, then the other gets us there
Above the dirt until we one day, unfazed
We become the earth

Become the earth
Become the earth

Belonging in longing
Could last as long as love is
Longer than measurement
Until we all become the earth

Become the earth
Become the earth
Become the earth

Periwinkle, cobalt, magnolia tree
Flee 'til you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
Dust into dust as material must
Ash into ash into plexi and trash
Skilled eye, landmark in Styrofoam, time
Carried remainders on overgrown vines
