*The Yonderling *
by Rock Ross
as performed by The Goat Family

When I go I want to explode
Beyond all hope of retrieval
Expand and release, disperse and blend
Into total oblivion

Bye, bye to harps and wings
Bye, bye to endless burning
Away, away yonder – make me a Yonderling

That vanishes in the light
That swirls through the stream
That joins the graceful current
That flows through everything

Just a breath of air – singing
Just a grain of sand – gleaming
Just a drop of water
Just the astonishing – seen and unseen

Bye, bye to harps and wings
Bye, bye to endless yearnings
Away, away yonder – make me a Yonderling

Bridge:
Fly – without time
Drift – without desire
Wander – through splendor
Swim – the ocean of fire
And sail away, sail away, sail away, y’all
Away further yonder, sail away

Bye, bye to crowns and wings
Bye, bye to endless yearnings
Away, away yonder – make me a Yonderling
