V1 From the bottom to the top, from the water to the rock From the desert to the sea, there's no place else I want to be 'Cause the voices from the soil tell tales of their toil And the buried bones they cry when they sing their lulllaby And the souls that still remain call me by my name They let me know I'm not alone They assure me I am home Chorus I'm in love with California Every mountain, every lake Every redwood, every valley How I love the Golden State V2 Just outside the mission, religion in transition It's a brand new composition, learned from the same position Like a hermit in the valley, like a madman in the woods When I do my dance too hard or fast the earth shakes real good So they put up guns and borders to show us where they stand But I grew gills and fins my friends, and swam across the land Chorus Breakdown The streets of San José The murals of LA The trees in Trinity All over Berkeley Chorus

The Passing of Time v1 there's a new day on the horizon; i can see the morning sun tomorrow has a way of finding you no matter where you run all your doubts and disappointments, your sorrows and your fears your joys and all your glories, they whisper through the years every conversation, every word you've said every time that you've forgotten the sacred and the dead all the loves that you have buried every sin that you've denied each memory that visits you in the quiet of your mind chorus don't know it makes me so sad inside it's just the passing of time v2 i can swear the rocks are speaking; singing someone's name sayin' "to dust you will return one day, 'cause from dust is where you came" there are friends i have deserted, and some i don't think of there are women i've forgotten, and some that i still love that's why they say remember and hold your moments close memorize the faces of the folks you love the most chorus here's a toast to your favorite ghost and the passing of time raise your glass, this won't last it's the passing of time don't know why it makes me so sad inside it's just the passing of time
