lyrics

Awakening

10,000 wings on the water
Soft glowing morning mist
Prairie sage, cool autumn air
Thistle a little rough around the edge

A lifetime of running to get here
The bulrushes tell me, “Slow down.”
Aware of the breath that we all share
Letting go, for now

Awakening  Awakening
In the sky orchestral birds
Retune my ears to hear the world
A rising chorus of time and space
Here I am
Awakening

Coyote choir in the moonlight
Playful as the flickering flames
Grasslands, attentive and still
listening to our songs and our tales 
Immersed in a land that remembers 
Even if we sometimes forget
 The delicate balance between all life 
We’re healed as we connect  
Awakening
Awakening
In the sky orchestral birds
Retune my ears to hear the world
A rising chorus of time and space
Here I am
Awakening  Awakening
In the sky orchestral birds 
Retune my ears to hear the world
A rising chorus of time and space
Here I am, Awakening 
Oooohhhhhh
