Landslide - Kirin J Callinan

I road my boat

for a thousand years

with the river tide

searching for the ocean

I drifted downstream

the banks all closed in

I berthed at the next docks said take me for a landslide

At a previous port

in Spain as a child

I knew your face

it made me smile

we struggled then

as we suffer now

further downstream we’ll be caught

by the trials of the landslide

Life is a landslide

we are dirt

falling with the landslide

It’s a landslide

life is a landslide

there’s a river of souls

but right here

it’s a landslide

It’s a landslide

life is a landslide

we are dirt

falling falling with the landslide

life it’s a landslide

there’s a river of souls

but right here it’s a landslide

Dust and dirt

dust and dirt

Dust and dirt

dust and dirt

dust and dirt

sea sky and dirt

Sea sky and dirt

ocean and dirt

the stars are all dirt

the stars are all dirt

The stars are all dirt

and God is in the water

God is in the water

God is in the water

God is in the water

God is in the water

and hell is right here on earth

hell is right here on earth

hell is right here on earth

God is in the water

God is in the water

and hell is right here

Though we may walk the land

we’re tied to the sea

moon pulls the tides

inside you and I

And under our souls

earth and sea glide

we are dirt

falling
