I walk in stride with people 
much taller than me 
and partly it's the boots but 
mostly it's my chi 
and I'm becoming transfixed 
with nature and my part in it 
which I believe just signifies 
I'm finally waking up  
 
and there's this moth outside my kitchen door 
she's bonkers for that bare bulb 
flying round in circles 
bashing in her exoskull 
and out in the woods she navigates fine by the moon 
but get her around a light bulb and she's doomed  
 
she is trying to evolve 
she's just trying to evolve  
 
now let's get talking reefer madness 
like some arrogant government can't 
by any stretch of the imagination 
outlaw a plant 
yes, their supposed authority over nature 
is a dream 
c'mon people 
we've got to come clean  
 
cuz they are locking our sons 
and our daughters in cages 
they are taking by the thousands 
our lives from under us 
it's a crash course in religious fundamentals 
now let's all go to war 
get some bang for our buck  
 
I am trying to evolve 
I'm just trying to evolve  
 
gunnin for high score in the land of dreams 
morbid bluish-white consumers ogling luminous screens 
on the trail of forgetting 
cruising without a care 
the jet set won't abide by that pesky jet lag 
and our lives boil down to an hour or two 
when someone pulls a camera out of a bag  
 
and I am trying to evolve 
I'm just trying to evolve  
 
so I walk like I'm on a mission 
cuz that's the way I groove 
I got more and more to do 
I got less and less to prove 
it took me too long to realize 
that I don't take good pictures 
cuz I have the kind of beauty 
that moves
