Ragland flys the flag

Pardon My Dust, Excuse the mess, there’s gonna be something beautiful on the other side of this

I am not waiting for someone else to save the world

Our world’s ocean pastures are becoming clear blue lifeless deserts

It’s time to restore the oceans to health, so…

Pardon my dust
Excuse the mess
We’re making somethin’ new out of all of this

I’m saying my prayers, and I’m trying to change
So give me some time, ’cause I’m still finding my way

Why are you lookin’ at me this way?
Pointing your finger, shakin’ your head
How ’bout some love along the way, instead

Pardon my dust, excuse this mess
I’ve left a trail of debris, so you’ve gotta be
Very careful where you step
I’ve made some mistakes, so what?
Done quite a few things wrong
Could you roll up your tidy sleeves and help a brother along?

Why are you lookin’ at me that way?
Pointing your finger, shakin’ your head
How ’bout some love along the way, instead

Pardon my dust, excuse the mess
Please don’t be another judge I need to try to impress
Stop calling me names, stop casting your stones
Let the good Lord sort this all out when we are all at home

Pardon my dust, excuse my mess
Help me believe there’s gonna be something beautiful on the other side of this
Have patience with me, I’m still sweeping floors
So pardon my dust, I’ll pardon yours

restored ocean pasture blue to green

Looking astern off the transom of my research ship before we began our dusting to restore the ocean to health the ocean was a blue desert. After dusting the same view revealed a beautiful emerald-green see that had become full of life. (No Photoshop, raw camera) – click to read more
