[Verse 1] Before the rivers, before the stone, a garden rested over the clouds. One ancient tree held sky and root, its branches dreaming without sound. A hollow opened under light. The living roots released their breath. Sky Woman reached for seeds and earth, and entered falling without fear. [Chorus] Round and round... the circle knows. Carry the seed, carry the ground. Round and round... the circle grows. Aya leya... mara shai... [verse 2] No shore below. Only water. The wild geese lifted beating wings. They caught the stranger from the sky, passing her softly wing to wing. Great Turtle whispered, "Rest on me." Still there was nowhere land could live. [Bridge] Down they travelled, feather... fur... breath... Beaver returned. Nothing. Otter returned. Nothing. Loon returned. Nothing. Little Muskrat disappeared longer than all. Aya... leya... dushai... maro... He rose in silence. One handful. Enough. [Verse 3] She laid the earth upon the shell. One careful step. Another. Round and round she walked the circle. The dark became soil. The soil became meadow. The meadow remembered forests. The forests called rivers. The world kept growing under her feet. [Final Chorus} Carry the seed. Carry the ground. Nothing is born alone. Wing... Shell... Breath... Hand... Round and round the world awakens. Aya leya... mara shai... eya no... luma hey... The world was never made alone.
