Water may walk
Daughter may walk
Mother may walk
Father may walkMarth fell asleep in a perfect fireWater in hands
Mother in hands
Brother in hands
Held in the handsOf one million bending bonesI know it's name
You know it's name
Never above
Never aboveOne thousand mending moansThe fire inside
The silver inside
The hollow inside
The echo insideThe red setting sun insideThe earth has its eyes
The sea has eyes too
Brown mother eyes
Blue mother blueAnd eyes are the stems of spaceMother may grow
Daughter may grow
Father may grow
And swallow the seedOf trees in the chest of my mindI've got some to give
I've like to give some
Love will still live
When our time is doneAnd earth be light, be light
