Between - Loudon Wainwright III

Between the forest and the ocean lies a lonely strand

The ocean is your mother, and the forest Fatherland

You are standing on that empty beach not knowing where to go-o

Out to sea or else inland, your whole life you don’t know

In between the earth and sky there is an atmosphere

Feet on the ground your head up high, but you are stuck right here

You’re in between your whole life long what happens when you di-ie?

Down below is Mother Earth, your father dwells on high

Honour thy father, and thy mother, though they’re not the same

And one pits you 'gainst the other, it’s the cruelest game

You are stuck and you are stranded, you must live until you di-ie

At home in forest and in ocean, worship earth and sky

At home in forest and in ocean, worship earth and sky!
