"There Is A Treasure" is the first single from Jeffrey Martin's November 2023 album, Thank God We Left The Garden
The city will still be moving in the morning
A million lives all breathing like a tide
Each one a story beyond our comprehending
Each trying to make a life and feel alive
The trees will bloom down along the river
The kids will race the fountains in the light
Someone will cry and pray that it gets better
Someone will stop and try to change a life
The sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning Never even knowing I was alive
There’s a treasure we all know but we can’t have it
It’s a place beyond the measure of our minds
It is where we go when we forget we’re living
It is where we go when we forget we die
And all the tools we use to feel important
They are useless as a sailboat in the sky
Where old bones and heartaches are forgotten
It’s a place we don’t have words to describe
The sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive
