Birthplace Lyrics by Kris Kelly

Runaways

2019

Shalom, yanqui!
He blew in light as a feather
On the wings of a drifter
He’s floating high on the freedom
And I thought that he might be a runaway too
“You’re today's lover
Tomorrow’s just a game we play,”
That sun-kissed rasta said
"Love ‘em while you're with ‘em!"
And I thought that he might be a runaway too
But then when we fall out of routine
We run rootless all through the garden like children
We surrender in to be here this moment
We’re swallowed whole, then we are born again
This is wild love
This is our birthplace, now
Like the wandering sadhu
He grew tired of carrying
A past so weighted
Then forgot to remember
And I thought that he might be a runaway too
But then when we fall out of routine
We run rootless all through the garden like children
We surrender in to be here this moment
We’re swallowed whole, then we are born again
This is wild love
This is our birthplace, now
Where is the master? Go on, get him up!
I wanna be back in the game
But I don’t wanna be back in the game
Do you still grow there, edelweiss?
I took the long way, it led me far from home
One day I’ll come back, edelweiss
But I’m not the same now. We’ll make something new
