about

I wrote this song after moving to the island of Saipan. The island looks sort of like a dragon and we were living in the "heart" which is how the song got it's name. This song is about life on Saipan and those who call it home. It's also about feeling unsure of where I am going in life but learning to accept the unknown and savor the mystery.

lyrics

Dragonheart
-----------------------------------------

Little lizards scatter like shadows
in the flickering firelight.
Big spider weaves her web wider.
No one's going hungry tonight.
The king fishers sit in the banyan trees
and the ocean laughs with a casual breeze.

In the jungle it's time to be humble.
Move slow and watch where you step.
Mountain mamma gives the gift of Mana.
Drink deep and pay your respects.
The ancestors rest in the banyan trees
and they may let you join them if you say please.

At home in the heart of the island.
She knows my mind and I find my way.
I know I was brought here for a reason.
Maybe I'll figure it out someday.

Blue water. Sun's getting hotter.
Take a dip and sit in the shade.
Open up some coconuts and
take a sip. You got to stay hydrated.
Maybe write a song in the afternoon
You can sing along if you know the tune and it goes...

At home in the heart of the island.
She knows my mind and I find my way.
I know I was brought here for a reason.
I hope I can figure it out someday.

Maybe when my time has come and gone the truth will be revealed
Maybe if I close my eyes and ask my guides the scrolls will be unsealed
Maybe life is just a random chance of circumstance
A fractal dance of holograms expanding until the end of time
Maybe I should stop wondering why and just enjoy the ride.

Sun is setting. What am I forgetting?
Doesn't matter it's a beautiful scene.
Keep your eyes on the horizon
If you're lucky see a flash of green
This island gives me all I need.
The sun and the rain. The fruit and the seed.

At home in the heart of the island.
She knows my mind and I find my way.
I know I was brought here for a reason.
Maybe I'll figure it out someday.
I hope I can figure it out someday.
But if I never do, I guess that's okay.
