Color Of Love
Luna And Butterfly
Leni told me about this woman in northern california who lived in one of the great old redwoods for over 2 years to save the tree's life. This story moved me so much that we started writing a song to honor both Luna, the tree and Julia Butterfly hill, the young woman. We called it simply Luna and Butterfly. I have always had a huge reverence for nature, especially trees. I think of them as old people with deep souls and wisdom. They offer comfort and beauty and shade too!
Lyrics
Long before the time
Columbus sailed the seas
Natives trading songs
Berries, roots and leaves
Luna was born
To a forest alive
Earthquake and fire
Luna survived
Her canopy grew strong
The centuries movin' on
Roots reaching deep and wide
Her wisdom from inside
The giant of trees
Your family half gone
'Till a girl claimed her home
In the branch of your womb
Luna and Butterfly
Luna and Butterfly
Thank you our peaceful warriors
Thank you for standing tall
Two years they lived as one
With anger from below
Her message loud and clear
To keep the forest whole
Honor thy old
It's what we've been told
Learn from the earth
Treasure her gold
Luna and Butterfly
Luna and Butterfly
