| I lie in peace in the womb*
|
| The earth, my mother, my tomb…
|
| So much life here,
|
| How could I ever sleep?
|
| Roots stretch like veins
|
| Pumping life here beneath
|
| I feel the worms on my flesh
|
| They speak of life, not of death
|
| My ears awake now
|
| To songs so brand new
|
| My sleeping limbs
|
| Stir to dance of the truth
|
| I hear the call now
|
| To stretch toward the sun
|
| I’ll crawl through soil and stone
|
| Until we two are one
|
| I find a strength in my bones
|
| The earth is not yet my home
|
| Now, higher ever I climb
|
| Cold fingers stretch for the sky
|
| I stand alone on the earth
|
| The sun has witnessed my birth
|
| I feel you stir ‘neath my feet
|
| I call you now back to me…
|
| (He stirs)
|
| Now, by my side we are one
|
| My love, my brother, my son
|
| Death cannot take from me
|
| Our souls are one, we are free |
