the great engine is getting up in the morning
and etching yourself onto the day
can't you understand that
once and for all
and never forget?

the great engine is all that you do
nothing more, nothing less
can't you understand that now
once and well
never again to forget?

wheeling birds
wheeling stars
wheeling embers
fireflies
twilight
thoughts
human energies
whatever's all
in the sky
in the night
in the light
is the great engine
the one true
you and you

can you understand that
once now and
again?
