[Intro — breathy female whisper] Under stone Water moves My hand On warm ground [Verse 1 — female lead] Before the bells Before the wires A seed remembers Summer fire Under rain Under roads Roots return Roots unfold [Pre-Chorus — low male spoken voice] Keep your hand Upon the ground There is a pulse Below the sound [Chorus — layered female vocal and choir] Open, open Earth inside me Open, open Guide my feet Open, open River through me Green beneath My feet [Mantra — choir, hypnotic] Turn the water Wake the clay Turn the water Lead the way [Verse 2 — female vocal, male whispers] Silver reeds A heron flies Mist is falling From the sky The river writes Through the pines Root to root And line to line [Bridge — intimate male spoken word] I came empty You gave me rain I called you distant You spoke my name [Final Chorus — larger choir] Open, open Earth inside me Open, open Hold me near Open, open Heart remembering I am rooted I am here [Outro — fading female vocal and choir] Turn the water Wake the clay I am listening I remain
