spirit of the river i can hear you i feel as if i’m deep inside your song i see you laughing intoxicated, dancing will you carry me with you when i’m gone? spirit of the forest i can hear you i travelled far to be among your kind and you teach me how to live among your people i’m so far from the world i left behind ashes to ashes sermons in stone oh how time passes we’re here and then we’re gone and all that remains when we’re free of our chains is the love we shared mother earth what can i give back to you as you carry me, carry me to my rest i bow to the turning of your seasons as i lay my head upon your breast (Miten)
