about

This song is about monthly travels over the High Plains of Kansas, which, at one time, was an ancient inland sea.

lyrics

Inland Sea

Million on millions of years ago
This land was an inland sea
I ts here where emotions on top of this ocean
And hazed over hills to the edge of the sky

There’s the towers that grow up and over the hills
of old Saline County
They twirl and whirl and spin with a new way
A new way to harness the wind

But I can only think of the sea
And all of this beauty beneath

Thousands on thousands of years ago
The wandering of man had begun
Its here when the questions rose up to the surface
And hidden old valleys revealed a new way

There’s the fields that spread out wide with the seeds
Of an old prairie grassland
They stretch and wave and blend with a shoreline
A shoreline of dried sea floor

But I can only think of the sea
And all of this beauty beneath

As I move on over the plains
I float on over the pain
Inside of my head
On an ancient seabed
I float on over the pain

Hundreds on hundreds of years ago
This land rose up from t he sea
Its here where the movement’s within all these whispers
Of roots beneath grass from a pioneer’s dream

There’s the farms that flourish and cover the land
With waves of golden seedlings
They grow and flow with nature’s old way
Of giving back to itself

But I can only think of the sea
And all of this beauty beneath

And as I move on over the plains
I float on over the pain
Inside of my head
On an ancient seabed
I float on over the pain
