Tierra de los Rios is an homage to nature - the wonderful, scary, power of nature. Inspired by the swiftness of the many rivers her in Connecticut, this song reinforces the sense of peace one can find when accepting their small place in the this massive natural world. This recording is from the WESU 88.1 radio spotlight on 12-23-2025, re-mixed for use as a demo.
Lyrics
Tierra De Los Rios
There’s no end in sight here
No finish line fanfare
And we’re running out of gas
Woaah, tryin’ to make it last
And I wish I could take back the tick tock
Of the clock, the drip drop, of the faucet but,
The water’s running
And I know, there’s no, reason to be scared, when you are near
When you are near, when you are near,
The water’s running and you are here
The moments are shifting
Like dunes in the desert
What we once thought was
Is but a mirage in the mind
And there is no difference,
In the cadence of the steps
Or the measures taken,
The water’s running
And I know, there’s no, reason to be scared, when you are near
When you are near, when you are near,
The water’s running and you are here
The waves are sweeping across the shore
Erasing where I walked before
The river is running, unrelenting
But forgiving the heavy steps that walk beside her
And I know, there’s no, reason to be scared, when you are near
When you are here
