lyrics

In time, these tides
will re-arrange everything
Oh how I see it now
What side of this wave
will we be wandering
Onto, Into, so far now
we have gone through
worlds of movement and change
sung on into
this new taste

So far I'm alive, and all right
the story is so right on...
For that I thank you...

Drama is life is song is flight
re-birth today
and open up this space
how I will now be the place
that I wish to find
...
With some of this prayer smoke
signal aloft into the air
as the plant spirit sends
embers burning purge me
let I be free
unbound I pray release
Incinerate these fears for
the health is so much greater than
just this physical state
tuned into to love life lived
in an integrated way
you please me with your flames
and gaze remind me you
of my simple little state
connecting me to the grandest of life
in my very own heart space

Let it all be this beautiful song
that the lives of angels and spirits
and light first sung into me
the very first time I opened up
and began to believe
this life is death
is movement through the depths
this song creator sung
weaving sound through form
building up a space
from an excess of its own grace
For that, I thank you
