Down the river on my back
I can see with both my eyes closed
Oh, how do you know
When love is a wellspring?
Does it give your life meaning
Or does it bind you?
And I know the way grows shallow
So I put my feet down
And I open my eyes!

Dark river white water
Gaining purpose moving stronger
Ash rising bright father
Dogs running with the earth's daughter

Light from the fire line
Spreading out forth
From the night and then climbing
To the spirit heading north
I sat quiet on the side
And still silent saw a black crow rise
From the night and take flight

Life rose from the water
And ascended to the ground
To the sky, to the night and back down
