[Intro] [murmured harmonies Breathy] Mmm Mmm Ahh [Verse 1] Bare feet Cold moss Mud between my toes Breath hangs Like smoke In the rising crows Hands deep In the dark Root and rock and rain Name me By the wind Carving out my name [Chorus] I am root I am river (hey) I am ember in the leaves Every branch is my sister Every stone remembers me I am root I am river (oh) I am heartbeat in the ground When I breathe with the forest All my scattered pieces gather round [Verse 2] Moonlight Green glass Shaking on my skin Wild thyme And ash Sleeping on my wrist Soft dirt Slow drum Echo in my chest Old songs Rise up Out of every nest [Chorus] I am root I am river (hey) I am ember in the leaves Every branch is my sister Every stone remembers me I am root I am river (oh) I am heartbeat in the ground When I breathe with the forest All my scattered pieces gather round [Bridge] [voices spread left and right Call and response] Voice of water (call me home) Voice of thunder (through my bones) Voice of ivy (hold me close) Voice of raven (guide me slow) [Chant Outro] [building layered chants] Ohh-eh-ya Ohh-eh-ya I am one I am one I am one With the earth With the air With the flame With the foam Ohh-eh-ya Ohh-eh-ya I am one I am one I am one Where the root Where the bone Where the river is home
