G Em Am
Every thread of creation is held in position
C D
by still other strands of things living.
G Em
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Am C Cmaj7
of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
G Em
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Am C D7 G
but needing to touch all the living as well.
G Em Am
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
C D
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
G Em
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Am C Cmaj7
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
G Em
We're poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Am C D7 G
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
G Em Am
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
C D
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
G Em
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Am C Cmaj7
are interdependent in vast orchestration
G Em
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Am C D7 G
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
G Em Am
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
C D
that flows through the veins of your being.
G Em
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Am C Cmaj7
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
G Em
You're now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Am C D7 G
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
G Em Am
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
C D
every doe that steps softly.
G Em
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Am C Cmaj7
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
G Em
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Am C D7 G
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
