Who covers themselves with the light As if it were a garment? Who makes the angel's spirit From the flames of the fire? Laid the foundation of the earth So that it shall not be moved Covered it with the deep of the ocean Who stands above the mountains And at your word, they fled, They hastened away Send the springs into the valley That flow through the hills And give drink to the beasts of the field And quench their thirst By you the birds of the heavens Have their home And sing amongst the branches The earth is satisfied by the fruit of your works Cause the grass to grow for the cattle And the vegetation For the service of the human So that they bring forth the fruit from the earth The wine that makes glad the heart of man And oil that makes his face shine The wine that makes glad the heart of man And oil that makes his face shine Makes the face shine I like to watch the leaves fall, last breath Sweet ash from the slash and burn And lazy eyes from being in a dream Talk to the trees Please, me, see, be, free, Heed, believe, see, breath Need and want nothing I need and want nothing Dry roses hang from the bed Nakedness is all around Barren is my soul I beg to be a child born for Love So i sway to the pulses of the rivers of blood That flow through my body 'cause I believe in things you cannot see To some god is the light That leads them to believe, That they see, And know everything To some god is the light That leads them to believe That they see, And know everything But if one is to truly be born again You would have to gouge out your eyes, Cut out your tongue, And grieve And cry like a baby That's been snatched away Cry like a baby that's been snatched away Sister, Cry like a baby that's been snatched away Brother, Cry like a baby that's been snatched away To some god is the light That leads them to believe that they see, And know everything I sway to the pulses of the rivers of blood That flow through my body 'cause i believe in things, That you cannot see I believe in things that i cannot see To some god is the light That leads them to believe that they see And know everything.
