Loud Whispers - RELLIKISS

Pine, I am calling to you Aspen, I am singing to you Redwood, hear this song Birch-bark, weeping willow And Dogwood, blooming moonlight Cedar, let it fall, fall away Oak, you bore my body Bay, I bade you open these vessels... To receive your whispers Tender breath-keepers Givers of life to these lungs May I open my ears and Surrender What can you tell me How can I tend you How can I tend to the ones Who pour life through these lungs... Care for these rivers going dry Bone and sorrow held as Pain, drought of feeling, yet the Rain can give us freedom, forest Rain, but if we cut them, it goes Away, help us Open these vessels... To receive your whispers Tender breath-keepers Givers of life to these lungs May I open my ears and Surrender What can you tell me How can I tend you How can I tend to the ones Who pour life through these lungs... "We, for every one of us you've uprooted You can soothe it by planting another Of the same as the kind you've uprooted Every ending a beginning if you choose it... You can soothe it... If you choose it..."
