about

The anthem. Written in Santa Cruz. First sung on the banks of the Yuba River.

lyrics

Once I rode my bike / I road it way too far into the night / Past all the streets with curbs and signs and lights / Past all the hands of law and greed and vice / Stars became my eyes, their patterns in the sky became my guide / To all that walks the earth and wind and fire / To all that gives its love for night’s desire / I ride away I ride away I ride away / I lose my way I lose my way I lose my way / I feel ok I feel ok I feel ok / I find my way I find my way I find my way / Drums are sounds I like / I hear them as I bike on through the night / And between all the trees a fire gives light, and round the fire light, a crowd is bright / Kids with flutes and kites, they’re dancing round a clown with zebra tights / Their singing songs to sounds of bags with pipes, and dreaming dreams that can’t be bought or sliced / Sleep beneath the elm / You take me like the sea into her realm / I’m treated to your whales and reefs and shells / I’m floating on my back atop your swells / There I see your face / A picture of god’s love, and pain, and grace / A hieroglyph of time when freed from space / A water jug to quench the crazed and craved
