[Intro] [Spoken softly] You live on me You walk on me You plant in me [Verse 1] Elderberries darken on the branch Rain has filled the riverbed Roots are drinking, leaves are lifting Morning lays its gold ahead [Pre-Chorus] Forty-four trees in a widening ring Hands in the soil, listening One for the Queen, one for the King A living wheel beneath our feet [Chorus] Garden, garden, open wide Hold the river, hold the sky Garden, garden, breathe and grow What we plant is what we know [Verse 2] The sun is warm against our shoulders Green light gathers in the leaves Every seed remembers water Every root knows what it needs [Pre-Chorus] No distant door, no hidden way This is the simple now of day Friend on the phone, bright on the line A little star returned in kind [Chorus] Garden, garden, open wide Hold the river, hold the sky Garden, garden, breathe and grow What we plant is what we know [Bridge] The wheel does not move We move through the stillness The wheel does not move We arrive where we are Now is now Mem is mem Eye sees eye [Chorus] Garden, garden, open wide Hold the river, hold the sky Garden, garden, breathe and grow What we plant is what we know [Outro] Today we are here Today we are home The grid continues in the soil And the soil is rich In unity and light I see you I receive you I send you back
