[Verse 1] First light on the wet stone Smoke climbs in a silver line Old songs in a tongue half-known Draw circles in my quiet mind Bare feet in the cool dust Pulse steady in the hollow ground I breathe in every small gust And feel the hidden world resound [Chorus] We are one breath One fire One river turning One sky One drum One ancient yearning Hands to the earth Hearts to the unseen sun In every leaf Every tear We are one [Verse 2] Eyes closed as the clouds roll Names fade from the painted walls Shadows of a thousand souls Move slow where the night-bird calls I reach for a lost faith Tied tight with a woven thread Between the sorrow and the grace I dance with the living and the dead [Chorus] We are one breath One fire One river turning One sky One drum One ancient yearning Hands to the earth Hearts to the unseen sun In every leaf Every tear We are one [Bridge] Teach me the steps of the first slow dance Where the flesh remembers what the mind forgot Let every doubt fall away in trance Till the small self loosens its tangled knot (oh) If I am a question Let the forest answer In the hush between each distant call In the hush I feel us growing vaster In the hush I hear the heart of all [Chorus] We are one breath One fire One river turning One sky One drum One ancient yearning Hands to the earth Hearts to the unseen sun In every leaf Every tear We are one
