about

I wrote this song for a little girl named Justice. Justice has had a lot of different homes throughout her life. I met her when she was three, and her mom was living in the woods with some other families. They were traveling everywhere with pack goats, gathering almost all of their own food, and sleeping on the forest floor under the stars. I saw her again when she was seven, and she was living with thirty people in a community deep in the woods! She and her mom were about to move to a big town in Colorado. I wrote this song to remind her that, no matter how many different places she lived, she could still find home wherever she went.

lyrics

Well you’ll find home on the forest floor
and you’ll find home in the branches
And you’ll find home in a big canoe
and fall asleep on your haunches
Well you could make your home in a chrysalis
and wake up a butterfly
Or you could live in the desert sands
under the starry midnight sky

Home is where you run and play
Home is where you spend your day
Home is where you rest your head
Home is where you make your bed
Home is how your body feels
Home is where you eat your meals
All throughout Cascadia
Home’s a place you love

Well you could go to bed with the setting sun,
Be at home when it rises
You’d find dew on the leaves of the plants
and all sorts of other surprises
Well you can grow your garden big
and you can grow your garden tall
Cause if you grow your garden right,
you’ll have plants from the spring in to the fall

Home is where you run and play
Home is where you spend your day
Home is where you rest your head
Home is where you make your bed
Home is how your body feels
Home is where you eat your meals
All throughout Cascadia
Home’s a place you love

Well you can live in a big ol house
With all sorts of people around you
Or you could live in a place so rural
That nobody ever could find you
Well you could build your house of straw
And you could build your house of clay
Cause if you build your house real strong
No big bad wolf can blow it away

Home is where you run and play
Home is where you spend your day
Home is where you rest your head
Home is where you make your bed
Home is how your body feels
Home is where you eat your meals
All throughout Cascadia
Home’s a place you love

Well there’s the home that lies before you
And the home you left behind you
And the home that’s all around you
And the home that lives inside you
This place is a home for you
But it’s home for other plants and animals too
If you learn to respect your home
You know you’ll never wander alone

Home is where you run and play
Home is where you spend your day
Home is where you rest your head
Home is where you make your bed
Home is how your body feels
Home is where you eat your meals
All throughout Cascadia
Home is just a place you love

Bicycle Face Seattle, Washington

Back when bicycles were first invented, doctors told women that if they raced on their bicycles, their face would get stuck in a strained-looking, bulgy-eyed mess. Thankfully, we have disproved this theory, and our bicycle faces are all smiles!
Bicycle Face is a musical project by Lichen & Evan. We believe that it's important to teach history so that children know that they can change the future! ... more
