lyrics

In the touch a lover gives when they just know
In being held how only a mother can hold
To walk at night trusting the light of the full moon’s glow
It’s all a song when offered truly from the soul

In the art of holding silence
In the dance of making sound
In the blessing that is breathing in and out
In the radical, the ritual, the wild, and the devout
There’s a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground

A bow in reverence to the water, earth, and sky
Just for a moment, stepping outside of time
Giving thanks for all that stokes the inner fire
Sometimes it’s stillness that reminds us we’re alive

In the art of holding silence
In the dance of making sound
In the blessing that is breathing in and out
In the radical, the ritual, the wild, and the devout
There’s a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground
There’s a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground
