lyrics

If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like the water on these cliffs
It’d sound the way a river cuts through stones
And it’d sound the way that tree roots twist and grow

If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like the waves eating footprints
It’d sound like dandelions before they grow
And it’d sound just like your backyard, sound like home

So imagine life if everything you do
Did honor to its past and future too
Can you write it in the language of a stone?
Can you build it so its shadows whisper poems?

If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like your lover’s fingertips
It’d sound the way that living learned its name and
And it’d sound just like the place from which it came

So imagine life if everything you do
Does honor to its past and future too
Can you speak a word that says all of itself?
Let your body be the place where sky meets ground
