Lyrics

Spend all day staring at backlit screens
Turning what was 3D into intangible things
We've got terabytes spinning on hard drives
Faster than the speed of mind, yet I feel less alive

I am just a humble creature
And I want to live a the speed of nature

Satellites orbiting overhead, sure to bring
Answers, yet here I am still searching
They're logging those old growth trees, putting in five more Gs
What they call progress feels a lot like a faster hamster wheel

I am just a humble creature
I want to live at the speed of nature

I put my ear to the ground,
She said slow down

Knelt by that creek, and it was a holy thing
The last of the ice was lingering, moving from winter into spring
She had her ways of measuring
Had her own ways of counting things
Moved to the beat of something greater
Living at the speed of nature
I too am a humble creature
And I want to live at the speed of nature
