Crossed the border laughing
Never know what to expect
They wanted to know what church I'm in
And what things I collect
They're trying to plug holes in the hull
While flames eat up the deck
The captain and his crew
Don't seem to get the disconnect
Passing through the iris of the world
Passing through the iris of the world
I will always love you
On a boulder by the shoulder
The paint will likely outlive
Both the feeling and the holder
In the age of Global Warming
When all things are growing colder
It's beautiful the writer
Opened up his heart and told her
Passing through the iris of the worldPassing through the iris of the world
I'm good at catching rainbows
Not so good at catching trout
I'm good at blowing holes in things
And ranting in self doubt
I've got a way with time and space
But numbers freak me out
I've mostly dodged the dogma's
Of what life is all about
Passing through the iris of the world
Passing through the iris of the world
I'm talking in strange voices
To myself the way I do
The road under the half moon sky
Rolls out in shades of blue
I'm raw anticipation
Of our rhythmic rendezvous
Loving the gift of the loving I get
And the loving I give to you
Passing through the iris of the world
Passing through the iris of the world
The lyrics THE IRIS OF THE WORLD of BRUCE COCKBURN is also present in the album Small source of comfort (2011)
Bruce Cockburn è un cantautore canadese nato nel 1945. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '60, pubblicando album folk influenzati da artisti come Bob Dylan e Joni Mitchell. Nel corso degli anni '70, le sue canzoni hanno spesso esplorato temi di fede cristiana, ma in modo non didascalico, mettendo l'accento sulla compassione per il prossimo. Negli anni '80, la sua musica si è fatta più politica, con brani come "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", ispirati dalla sua esperienza in un campo profughi guatemalteco per conto di Oxfam. Cockburn ha sempre goduto di una grande popolarità in Canada, dove è stato introdotto nella Canadian Music Hall of Fame nel 2001. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "Dancing In The Dragon's Jaws" (1973), "Last Night Of The World" (1984) e "The Charity Of Lovers" (1991). Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" e "Hallelujah" (cover di Leonard Cohen).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
