[Intro – Female] Beloved, this old tree holds the sky, Your quiet speaking moves through me. I laugh, and every branch replies; We grow again, we grow, we grow. [Verse 1 – Female] Your hand rests easy in my hand, Two roots drinking from one rain. I feel the ground rise through my body, A living yes beneath my name. You meet my fire without consuming; I meet your strength without retreat. Our separate rivers turn together, And make one water, deep and sweet. [Pre-Chorus – Male] You are not mine to hold or master; You are the truth I choose to see. I stand beside you, clear and tender— Your freedom makes a home in me. [Chorus – Both] One heart, two hands, one life made wider, A sacred vow that lets us bloom. Masculine and feminine, balanced, We make a shelter, not a throne. Beloved, breathe; I breathe beside you. Let love move through us, strong and kind. From the quiet center we remember: The light we seek is shared, not mine. [Verse 2 – Male] You ask, “Beloved, what do they call Two ghosts who fall in love?” I say, “Do tell,” and you laugh, “BOOOODHA,” (Buddha extend OO sound like Booo the sound a ghost makes) While bright worlds turn above. Your stars are laughter in my keeping; My steady ground makes room for flight. We meet where courage softens power, And turn our promise toward the light. [Pre-Chorus – Female] No one must kneel for us to rise; No one is lesser in this flame. We choose the work of tenderness, And call each living soul by name. [Chorus – Both] One heart, two hands, one life made wider, A sacred vow that lets us bloom. Masculine and feminine, balanced, We make a shelter, not a throne. Beloved, breathe; I breathe beside you. Let love move through us, strong and kind. From the quiet center we remember: The light we seek is shared, not mine. [Bridge – Call and Response] [Female] Supernova, bright within us— [Male] Not to conquer, but to share. [Female] Let the old hard walls fall open— [Male] Let compassion fill the air. [Both] Wildfires or wildflowers? Tell me. We choose the seeds that root and rise. Water cools the ground between us; Green begins beneath our eyes. [Chant – Both] I am with you, not above you. You are with me, whole and free. One love widening through the many, Many voices, one deep sea. [Final Chorus – Both] One heart, two hands, one life made wider, A sacred vow that lets us bloom. Masculine and feminine, balanced, We make a shelter, not a throne. Beloved, breathe; I breathe beside you. Let love move through us, strong and kind. At home within the heart of being, The dawn is near—and so are we. [Outro – Female, then Both] This old tree opens into morning; Its branches hold a tender sky. Closer than near, we stand together— One life, with room for all alive.
