When they look angry, don't believe their faces. It's spring lightning, a joke before the rain. They chew thorns thoughtfully along with pasture grass. Gazelle and lioness, having dinner.

If you enjoyed the experience, please like and chat with us live in the comments!  less

Show More for song lyrics. directed and video edited by Richard Janzen music mastered by Brandon Janzen This Still Room text by John Greenleaf Whittier music by Jonathan Adams And so I find it well to come for deeper rest to this still room; for here the habit of my soul feels less the outer world's control.
