Lyrics:

To nourish is to be known
Something i can feel
Something that cannot be stolen

This morning the zoo keepers were mad with power
A rush of blood to the head
The only sermon, birdsong
The only way out, dreams & magic 
Ancient tales
& besides everything i do
is just to make sure i can face the music
Face that man in the mirror
Without shooting the messenger
Without hurling indifference at the stranger
Standing among us
Standing there, lift the wings dear brother
Over there, pull the wind dear sister
We have not much time to get this right
With this knowing, we need each other
With this learning & bending
With this planet of fire & ice
The potential inertia behind hidden tears
Snakes shed skin, effortlessly
As coyote howls
Effortlessly as muskrat keeps digging
Effortlessly as giraffe sees into the future
Effortlessly as what wolf would be when left alone
The human zoo continues to smother

Something i can feel
Something that cannot be stolen
To nourish is to be known

At times i am barely holding on
To the sound of my grandmother's whistle for dinner
Through a century of steel & concussions
From the land of Citrus Heights
Every time we pass by the rice paddies on the highway
I become the dream the ancestors hid on their tongue
& every ounce of hope within us is praying 4 the fled


Something i can feel
Something that cannot be stolen
To nourish is to be known

Without a within
Beneath evergreen
Aloha Oregon refuses to let an ocean's truth dissipate
Mt. Hood looking good tonight
Within a without
At the ledge of the seen
PDX is destined to shine forever
On the otherside of between light
Seattle unfolds the seed of compassion
The upper left coast looking angelic tonight
Birthing her children's wonder & joy 
From the abiding presence of another world
So long as we go back to the land
Every ounce of hope within us
Praying 4 the fled

Something i can feel
Something that cannot be stolen
To nourish is to be known


Can another earth be in this moment
Can another person be in this mourning
These tears this crying this missing this haven 
Above a cut—
This mourning 4 the martyr
This love, this imminent motion of things
Luminous...in & out of the luminous
Each planet in the eyes a mirage of suspension
Speaking tonight of upheaval
Generate, operate, dissolve

Every ounce of hope within us
Praying 4 the fled
This morning the zoo keepers were mad with power
I fell in love on 82nd & never looked back

Something i can feel
Something that cannot be stolen
