Red Bird Lyrics

Here near black waters divine is
Dangling from every branch
Black waters
Swallow up our hollow fears
Steer us on
On
Faith
On faith we come for miles around
Just to hear that precious sound
Of harmony

From the mouth of the fool
Fool
Fool, who is the innocent
Courageous words are heavensent
To remind
Strike the chord while it's hot
Lead us to that sacred spot
Where, believe it or not,
We are found

I give thanks for what is given
Offer up to the next, downstream
Row row, row your boat
Gently down
May the circle be unbroken
Merry go round
Again, again

Red Bird
Who weaves the elders' song
Into a message nest
We are not alone
We are the wellspring of those
Who came before
Of theirs, our voices born
Our song so ancient,
Older than we can imagine
The gift of fearless love-givers
