In California, I was in the process of digging deep into my identity. My musical language was formed by everything from classical music to prog rock, from funk to pop! This song along with some others was created from that place of progressive rock influence.

Lyrics

Fragile Ground

[Verse]
A patch of green a thread of blue
Whispers of wind they call to you
The earth it hums beneath our feet
A fragile song a heartbeat fleet

[Chorus]
This fragile ground we stand upon
Could break beneath us when we're gone
Hold it close hold it tight
Don't let it fade into the night

[Verse 2]
The rivers cry the forests sigh
Mountains crumble clouds run dry
We take we burn we turn away
But who will pay when skies turn gray

[Prechorus]
If not us then who will save
The roots the seas the open wave

[Chorus]
This fragile ground we stand upon
Could break beneath us when we're gone
Hold it close hold it tight
Don't let it fade into the night

[Bridge]
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
The earth it gave it gave us trust
If we don't give her love and care
Will there be anything left to share
