And trees sway with the wind
Their whole lives long

And trees hold the ground
As they reach for the sky
And fallen trees still feed the seeds
They cast before they die

Moves across your bones

Are you listenin'
Are you listenin'

Waiting Out A Storm (Kate Sutherland)

Artist: Saro Lynch-Thomason

Lyrics:
There are more waters rising
This I know, this I know
There are more waters rising
This I know
There are more waters rising
They will find their way to me
There are more waters rising
This I know, this I know
There are more waters rising
This I know

There are more fires burning...

There are more mountains falling...

I will wade through the waters
This I know, this I know
I will wade through the waters
This I know
I will wade through the waters
When they find their way to me
I will wade through the waters
This I know, this I know
I will wade through the waters
This I know

I will move with the fires...

I will rebuild the mountains...

*Note: Saro's lyrics are "I will walk through the fires" - I changed them to "I will move with the fires"

More Waters Rising (Saro Lynch-Thomason)

Music: Katie Hicks
Lyrics: Wendell Berry

I learned this song from Allie Comet who learned it from the Art of Mentoring.

Lyrics:
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark, go without sight.
And find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
And is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
