Captain William E. Simpson song we discussed Wednesday Morning, Torn Apart - Take a listen! The song Torn Apart laments the growing disconnection between humanity and the natural world in the modern era, while offering a hopeful path toward reconnecting.

I rode up the mountain this morning alone Watch the sunrise to paint the stone Felt the silence whispered through the past and heard the truth between the lines we build our cities high and white but somewhere our hearts got left outside we traded stars for neon signs and called it living but lost our minds we're torn apart nature and man we've drifted so far from where we're begin Once we walked in the dust with a horse in the rain

now we're chained to the wheel and we don't feel the pain there's a voice in the wind calling us back to the start but we're torn apart nature and man torn apart they say it's progress

they say it's right but it steals our dreams and it dulls our light. We chase that dollar, we chase that praise, but lose our souls in the concrete maze. We take a pill just to numb the truth. Forget the joy we knew is.

The wild still waits, but we don't hear. The heartbeat of the earth growing faint each year. We're torn apart, nature, and man. We've drifted so far from where we began. Once we dance with the wind, we sang with the streams, now we're trapped in the glare of electric dreams. There's a voice in the rain calling soft to the heart, but we're torn apart.

Nature and then torn apart. Now where the wild horses run so free, There's a kind of truth that speaks to me They don't ask why They just live and breathe In rhythm with the land And the whispering trees And maybe the Lord's still waiting there

In the stillness In the mountain air Saying child come home You've gone too far You forgot who you are We're torn apart Nature and man But love can heal what pride begin

If we follow our hearts, not the noise or the plan, We can find our way back to the touch of his hand There's a peace in the wild for a weary heart If we just turn back Before we're too torn apart So I'll ride that rich At the break of day, let the wind and the spirit show the way. For the while still speaks, if you open your heart, we were never meant to live so far apart.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
