Lyrics
Do you hear her, in the Raven’s call?
ooh, ooh
Do you hear her?
She’s asking you to join her song
At the meeting of the seasons
The muffled and the muted become her symphony
Of singing for you to slow and see
The way the birds dance, the way the wind sings
Even as it blows fiercer around you
She remains soft, she remains soft
All you have to do is look deeper, not harder
Be present, not pressed, as the skies grow darker and
As you walk through fallen crystals and chlorophyll,
Go slow enough to hear
The calls of snow on leaves on snow
And you’ll hear her, you will hear her
You’ll hear her
In the way the snow quiets everything
For the drumming of the canopy,
the beating of the feathered wings
It quiets you…ooh, ooh

Amazing Grace (Earth)

Amazing Earth, how sweet your songs
That flow from root to wing
Coaxed from the rocks by water’s touch
Where there’s grace your chorus rings
In summer fields I’ve bent my ear
Towards damp soil’s sighs
Suspended in the mist I hear
Choirs praising rains gone by
When seed heads drift like sleepy eyes
And the final crickets call
Staccatos of cascading lives
Reveal how blessings fall
Snowy hemlocks told me once I asked
The point of weighted boughs:
To bend is to believe at last
The sun shall soon be found
Birds will return to summon dawn
And peepers call up blooms
I’ll find the voice I feared had gone
Was always in their tune
‘Twas Earth that taught my heart to love
Every life that lives around me
In our sacred bonds of breath and song
That all will be set free
(We must set all lives free)
