about

composed for and originally recorded by THROAT Vocal Band ca. 2011
Jeremiah 1:10: "See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”

lyrics

Streaks of black and white
A path of a seed as it seeks for a home
From chaos springs a bud a fruit to enjoy all alone

Oh, foreign invaders have stopped for a rest
And maybe watch some T. V.
Start a barrage when you start to protest,
The same thing happened to me.
To root out
To pull down
To throw down
To build
Destroy

Lean a little to the left
Lean a little to the right
And the steam begins to dissipate
Lock your love away in Carbonite
Oh, pulling a fast one but not fast enough
The motor running oh,
The same thing happened to me.
Madness saunters in wearing tattered purple robes.
Yesterday a throne: today a crock of old confusion.
Dribble out your words underfoot out on the floor
Fruit has gone away
Safe has turned to destitution.

So Close
So Warm

To root out
To pull down
To throw down
To build
To plant
