CHESED (2022) for ensemble - EXCERPT

moving through silence, with nothing left to say.

And go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
or you can take your time 
and let the seasons catch up
slip off your shoes 
and feel the earth 
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing.

You've just got to swing past the 
forest 
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane 

You've got to slow down now
or you'll grow cold.
Leap past the flowers that sleep,
The hours that spring those old 
Shadows confuse you 
and the silence is loud 
your're reaching for the light
your're losing sight 

You've just got to swing past the
forest
where colours can blind you 
and everything finds you 
it can drive you insane

and go past the forest 
where you can slowly wake up
