UNITED IN SOUND Lyrics

A gathering of spirits, a circle of together
United in sound and silence
An annual pilgrimage, a sense of belonging
A sense of your kin and your tribe

United in sound in silence we sing
In colour resplendent we gather and sing
United in sound in silence we sing
In colour resplendent we gather and sing

Oooooohhhhhhhh ( * sing a long moment!!)

we sing to the future, we sing to the past
We listen to elders who light our way
The elders who teach us, teach us our harvest
Each year our seed grows within

United in sound in silence we sing
In colour resplendent we gather and sing
United in sound in silence we sing
In colour resplendent we gather and sing

'Cause each year a seed grows within us and it blooms throughout the year
And each year we return to find the new seeds
That fly on the wind of the old
Each year a seed grows within us

Each year we return to see the faces
To see our mob, to see our tribe
To hear the notes that bring us together
As we sing in ONE MIGHTY VOICE!

Ooohhhhhhhhh

The elders whisper as we take flight - take care and do good in your world
Take care of you and your garden - there is only one so love it as best you can

The elders whisper as we take flight - take are and do good in your world
Take care of you and your garden - there is only one so love it as best you can

United in Sound

Peculiar twinfolk roam across a brand new world - lumbering spheres that resemble two humans bound back-to-back. Their hearts beat to the same song as they finish painting the trees and sculpting the stones. They know nothing yet of anger, nor hurt, nor love.

But as the mountains grow slowly around them, so too do the cracks in the human condition - until maddened by selfish desire they tear themselves in two and cast a fiery rift between them.

As the the ash settles, their lives find a new normal, but loneliness hangs in the air…. along with an unfamiliar feeling deep in their souls. They long to find their lost half, but to do so means bridging the deepest rift of all.
