lyrics

My Forest, My Breath

In this chapel forest
Hold close my heart beat,
I will take no custody of yours,
I declare this time,
To hear the silent speak.

Ourselves, the trees, all beings,
We filter, we keep, purify, release,
Thoughts, breath to mend this world,
Some would call this prayer,
I will call this prayer.

Here, existence shared,
You, the towering trees,
Breathing out, made my breathing able,
Air vapour made by endless leaves,
We were born in a forest cradle.

Countless existence,
Fragile at the end of time,
Made for another to inhale,
Obscene Anthropocene,
Scorching winds, locust plagues.

I will make dreams for you,
I feel the mind trap lifting,
The prayers are coming through,
This peace, this freedom,
This clemency, it must be God.

In this chapel forest,
Hold close my heart beat,
I will take no custody of yours,
I declare this time,
To hear the silent speak.
