The Hum

[VERSE 1] The pulse of the night sets me on fire, I dissolve, exploding back into the mire Branches stroke our hair, bark cracks our skin— What's in the mirror is not who's within. We feel for one another in the dark, Clasping hands to kindle the spark. [PRE-CHORUS] Within the tree (whistle) Within the vine (whistle) The river must flow; inward, we shine. the hum... The hum [CHORUS] (hummmm) As we sway It's the hum A network alive The foundation we join Allows us to thrive Tune to the hum Tune to the hum [VERSE 2] I stood up to power, bold like the moon, A bright wild babe, freshly hewn. Held by bramble, facing the rain, I closed my eyes to learn the ways Becoming the trees, the wind, and the sky, I absorbed it and chose when to comply. [PRE-CHORUS] Within the tree (whistle) Within the vine (whistle) The river must flow; inward, we shine. the hum... The hum [CHORUS] As we sway It's the hum A network alive The foundation we join Allows us to thrive Tune to the hum Tune to the hum [BRIDGE — Invocation] Hummmmm (hummmmm) Grandmothers of grandmothers, mmmmmmm sisters, and morning dew mmmmmmmm Whispering secrets we always knew. Hum Yeah hum Hum Oh hum [OUTRO] As we sway We hum... yeah hum... We come We come We come Tuned to the hum.
