Orcanus from John Mendenhall by Mendenhall

Orcanus

I took a walk on the beach
I saw a little old man
He said sit down son
And put your feet in the sand
He said you're walking around
With your head up your ass

I said I didn't know that
No, I didn't know that before

I said profound advice
But I don't know what you mean
He said close your eyes
And listen to the sea
As the waves hit the shore
I heard the ocean sing
It made a wonderful sound
Just like a symphony

I said I didn't hear that
No, I didn't hear that before

Whoa - talk to the animals
Whoa - talk to the animals

He said don't open your eyes
But turn your face to the wind
Taste the salt in the air
Feel the spray on your skin
Hear the cry of a gull
As he soars through the breeze
That blows through your hair
Are you following me

I said I didn't feel that
No, I didn't feel that before

*Seems like we have to close our eyes
Just to see where we're going
There's beauty all around
But we don't even know it
Take a walk along that river
Just to see where it's flowin'
Or talk to the animals
They'll be glad to show ya

Take it easy, groove along
Take it easy, groove along
