“Trust” is an homage to a landscape and an anthem for our times. It reminds us that everything is alive, everyone is connected, and, despite the chaos of the outside world, a sense of refuge and purpose are always available if we stop, look, and listen.
Lyrics
TRUST -CARY MORIN (BMI)
THE SUN GOES DOWN BEYOND MY VIEW
DOWN BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS
AND I’LL OBSERVE THE CHANGING HUES
FROM THE FOOTHILLS WHERE I RESIDE
THE GLOW AROUND THE ROCK THEY CALL THE HORSETOOTH DARKENS
LIKE PAPER TORN AND PASTED AGAINST THE SKY WITH GRACE AND EASE
THE LOCALS DRIVE HOME WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY DAILY VICTORIES
MY EYES STRAIN TO FIND A SHAPE I’VE COME TO TRUST AND RECOGNIZE
AS THE WATERCOLOR DRAINS FROM THE HORIZON I DESCRIBE
AND MY THOUGHTS BEGIN TO FREEZE AND FLOAT AWAY ON A SEPTEMBER BREEZE
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY DAILY VICTORIES
TRUST IN ONE ANOTHER SISTERS AND BROTHERS
SAY’S THE MOON OUR ELDEST MOTHER IN THE SKY TONIGHT (2X)
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TO EARN RESPECT?
IN MY YEARS OF WANDERING
SILENCE IS THE BETTER PART OF OBSERVATION
YET IT CAN BE DEAFENING
I CAN SEE FROM ANY DISTANCE IT’S UNBECOMING OF A MAN
TO PLACE HIMSELF ABOVE THE MEMBERS OF A NATION
YET IN MY RECKONING I WANT TO BE THE BEST AT WHAT I DO
AND LEARN ABOUT HUMANITY AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY
AS IF YOU AND I COULD WALK SIDE BY SIDE DOWN ANY AVENUE
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY DAILY VICTORIES
MY EYES STRAIN TO FIND A SHAPE I’VE COME TO TRUST AND RECOGNIZE
AS THE WATERCOLOR DRAINS FROM THE HORIZON THAT I DESCRIBE
AND MY THOUGHTS BEGIN TO FREEZE AND FLOAT AWAY ON A SEPTEMBER BREEZE
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY DAILY VICTORIES
TRUST IN ONE ANOTHER SISTERS AND BROTHERS
SAY’S THE MOON OUR ELDEST MOTHER IN THE SKY TONIGHT (3X)
