LINES IN THE LAND 5:14 (Mid-tempo rolling 6/8, enchanting haunting vocals) Lush ode to a powerful, mystical connection to the earth.
Lyrics
Traipsing the Michael- Mary
As the sky lanterns rise in an arc aligned sign
over Glastonbury.
And we feel the power going into our hands
on this New Year’s night, it’s the land’s
way of saying hello.
“I’ve got something to tell you, there’s so much to know.”
There’s a circle of stones in a green carpet field,
There is something inside us that is starting to yield.
Standing Over Us/ Watching Over us/ Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
The red and white springs rise, tiny candles they guard
They are holding a space when our heart becomes hard
If our hopes become barren the branches of trees
Reach out to embrace us before our souls freeze.
Out past the ruins, come see what this means.
An intricate weave between seen and unseen
Pulsing life into winter until white becomes green.
Standing Over Us/ Watching Over us/ Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
There are lines in the land that are unmarred by time
Standing Over Us/ Watching Over us
And they hum to us softly converging in rhyme.
Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
There’s a song that we sing at the start of the year
Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
that was penned in the past and it calls us to hear (linking kindness and cheer.)
Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
The lines in the land that are unmarred by time... Like the song that we sing...
Standing Over us/ Watching over us.
