Becoming The Ancestor Lyrics - Singles - Bluetech

I know where I come from 

I know where I'll go back in 

Between the two is mine to sing 

And yours - if you'll carry the two 

I know a song you can live off 

Tall as stacked mountains 

Curved as rivers labor towards sea 

I've known singing like a war cry against hunger 

And singing like the hunger between rains 

Singing like the rain's first silence 

Like the silence that teaches breath 

And like the breath that keeps pace with walking 

I know where I've been coming from 

The long way around this world 

I know a name or two 

For each time of day and night 

Each plant gone to seed 

And each seed when it falls 

I name each step for a leaf on the big tree 

I name each breeze for a wave on water I'll never see 

I name each child for the ancestor she is 

For the one he'll eventually be 

Name so the world has a map that fits 

Not like a suit - but like a shadow 

Lengthening into night 

Sharpest when the light is high 

Yes - I've sung the map 

Fermenting, sweet, in dried up springs 

Follow me if you like 

You know I'm going back in 

At the place where the song gets deep 

Into quiet ground 

Where the map gets back into dreaming 

And if you've sung the song to place of your name 

Come on back in with me 

Or stay and sing around the cycle 

Another world or two
