I won't take your stolen silver
I can't fake a smile now
Sign me, clear me to deliver
A crowd's appeared, I'll take my bow
And my dear, I'll take my vows
And my dear, I'll take my vows
I am life, I'm walking water
I am right where faultlines meet
I'm the screaming son and daughter
I'm the beaming light I keep
I'm the dreaming from the deep
I'm the dreaming from the deep
Scattered seeds on tortured soil,
How she bleeds under the weight
Clover, cleavers, penny royal
Ever greener is her fate
Have you seen her spring of late
Have you seen her spring of late
Every painted flower
Awaits your bright arrival
And even at this hour
Of fateful throes and trials
We'll return
As sure as stars burn
We'll return
As sure as stars
Burn it down and till the ashes
Rain'll sound in falling sheets and
Finely beading on eyelashes
Weightless, needing our release
Tear drops feeding mother's peace
Tear drops feeding mother's grief
Break the Earth to praise the ages
Call rebirth up from the ground
Some say these are final stages
I say, please, the count is down
But she sees us through the round
But she sees us through the round
Morning song like rising laughter
Follows on the velvet dark
We'll be near in the hereafter
Never fear this flooding ark
Hush now, hear the meadow lark
Hush now, hear the meadow lark
Every painted flower
Awaits your bright arrival
And even at this hour
Of fateful throes and trials
We'll return
As sure as stars burn
We'll return
As sure as stars burn
