about

Natural Law (Sorbye/Reynolds)
“Natural Law refers to the indigenous intelligence of nature. If you support nature, it will also support you. And we all know what happens when you go against nature. The song reflects that idea that each individual is connected to the rhythm of nature. It also has the elements of a good pop song, but keeps the substance of Celtic roots music.”

lyrics

We walk a lot of roads, and only one way home
To live through this one day can be enough
And in our one day, a truth may unfold
To carry that along must be enough

The judgment of nature
A cultural thaw
No sugar-sweet heaven
But natural law

We all have some to know to move along the path
To feel a bit of light may be enough
The destiny of all is dealt by choice
A thoughtful one for now might be enough

The virtue of nature
Is the very last draw
No sugar-sweet heaven
Only natural law

Before you turn away do what you can
To live in such a way will be enough
If any should be lost then all are undone
The finish of the thing shall be enough

The wisdom of nature
Is no mindless saw
No sugar-sweet heaven
Just natural law

Before us many roads and only one leads home
The color of this day could be enough
To make it through a day is not enough.

The justice of nature
Will be the final draw
No sugar-sweet heaven
Only natural law
