New Birth from Ebb & Flow by Phil Toal

That morning view, the trees and the sky
Awaken from the dead of night
Girl across the street, never on my mind
A room full of words, so bring in the light

All quiet and peaceful, a gifted new birth
Strike a chord and let things flow
These are moments that can come first
When and if ...I make it so

The noise of play and the cloud of work
Is it a need or need to behave?
One more day, an opening for me to go
Am I courtier, teacher or knave?

All quiet and peaceful, a gifted new birth
Strike a chord and let things flow
These are moments that can come first
When and if ...I make it so

A codex for figuring it all out
What is the scent of the rose?
I rise with the breeze of cyclones
And are you happy with the way you chose?

All quiet and peaceful, a gifted new birth
Strike a chord and let things flow
These are moments that can come first
When and if ...I make it so

A train running through, this solo track
Finding my feet, brings notes of calm
Let me go, wind has got my back
Melody & harmony, they are my psalm

All quiet and peaceful, a gifted new birth
Strike a chord and let things flow
These are moments that can come first
When and if ...I make it so

All quiet and peaceful, a gifted new birth
Strike a chord and let things flow
These are moments that can come first
When and if ...I make it so

And you can too, I know…
