This song is a prayer for the future. A time when we need no poets and songs.

lyrics

Well, I hope one day to put it down - bury the hatchet;
peel my nails back and never have to reequip this
vehicle of peace and war that speaks in sacred language
while my beating heart may putter off in some
dream-filled evening;
when all is found safe and sound
with no need to rattle chains
and fair liberty and sovereignty are
singing loud and clear
and the River knows he's free to flow of fish and blue gold
and the Forest, well, the Forest knows she's free to grow old and start
sharing stories she's been waiting to tell
of how the colours came together and painted the world
and not that did exist did so devoid of sacred purpose
and we all understood the terms in the phrase
All My Relations

I pray
(Vocables)
I pray
(Vocables)

Flowers, Bees, and Cedar Trees
yeah, the space between both you and me
and solace found in somber silence -
Dreams, Fears, Tears hid behind these eyelids -
Time seems to wait before revealing the haunting
in a place found safe but not forgotten
and my World is full
of Ancient Spirits
and you may not,
but I still see them

Pray
(Vocables)
I pray
(Vocables)

Well, I hope one day to put it down - bury the hatchet;
peel my nails back and never have to reequip this
vehicle of peace and war that speaks in sacred language
while my beating heart may putter off in some
dream-filled evening.
