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
