lyrics
the wind blows, wild down the mountain
ancient, older than time
find patience
breath in the oxygen
ride the wave of your life
you remind me of the main stream
singing high up in the pine trees
and in the rain
not the one we see on TV,
not the shadow realities
but the one we know
in our soul
Northbound...
snow falling to the ground
we’ve come this way before
there’s a silence that has divided
that can not live here anymore
as we remember the main stream
rising up in our memory
do you see it now
in your periphery?
In the night I feel it walking
moonlight doing all the talking
wandering like a stream
through my veins
when I remember...
lay your body on the seashore
recall what you came here for
the wind blows
softly through your plastic clothes, asking each time,
‘don’t you want more?’
Want to dance under the main stream?
milky way around us shining
What will you give, in the letting go?
nothing hidden nothing hiding
all the roads are intertwining
tell me now, do you want to go?
our altars
these walking bones
our altars
these wandering bones
in the fall, we find our way
such a long time, coming to today
in the fog, we find our way
such a long time, coming...
through it all we are the main stream
hear the song of belonging
to this place of wild grace
World of minerals and lightning
young, and old, and ancient shy things
awakening
from the land
oh, the secrets of this place
for a short time
we get to stay
