River and a Rock by Murray Kyle Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
All the hatred in this world, I put it in my pocket and I walk down under ancient trees
Where the spirits can talk, if your silent you can listen to the answers a blowing on the breeze
What the hell are we doing, this is not what I call growing, digging too deep within the earth
The places that are sacred, are there for you to hear, the choice to walk in love
Hoka Hey release the fear
[Chorus:]
Please, come gather round, there’s enough for all to feed
Please, come & lay your body down, feel her heartbeat
Please, you’ll find a river and a rock, and a soul beneath your feet
[Verse 2:]
So welcome here to the ancestors now, silently awaiting, simple wisdom how
To walk with our footsteps, softly on this ground
All the Earth is sacred, all the fire sacred
All the air is sacred, all the water sacred
And now they cry with the Gods from the sky
Mother how she holds us till the day we die
Then she will carry our flesh and our bones
We have come so far, but we’re a long way from home
[Chorus:]
Please, come gather round, there’s enough for all to feed
Please, come lay your body down, feel her heartbeat
Please, you’ll find a river and a rock, and a soul beneath your feet
[Bridge:]
And all that has been broken, can be made whole again
And all that’s been forgotten, can be found again
All that has been lost it is still here, and all that has been wounded can be healed
[Verse 3:]
So we come as we are into now, agents of change we steer from the bow
So tell all your people, and your people’s people, the Sun is the light of nature’s steeple
And we’re raising up our dreaming into the wind, to believe, believe, don’t leave please
Don’t stop believing there’s a love in this world, blowing like a wind into our sails unfurled
Turning the wheel of revolution, revolution just a turn of the wheel
[Chorus:]
Please, come gather round, there’s enough for all to feed
Please, come lay your body down, hear her heartbeat
Please, you’ll find a river and a rock, and a soul beneath your feet
All the hatred in this world, I put it in my pocket and I walk down under ancient trees
Where the spirits can talk, if your silent you can listen to the answers a blowing on the breeze
What the hell are we doing, this is not what I call growing, digging too deep within the earth
The places that are sacred, are there for you to hear, the choice to walk in love
Hoka Hey release the fear
[Chorus:]
Please, come gather round, there’s enough for all to feed
Please, come & lay your body down, feel her heartbeat
Please, you’ll find a river and a rock, and a soul beneath your feet
[Verse 2:]
So welcome here to the ancestors now, silently awaiting, simple wisdom how
To walk with our footsteps, softly on this ground
All the Earth is sacred, all the fire sacred
All the air is sacred, all the water sacred
And now they cry with the Gods from the sky
Mother how she holds us till the day we die
Then she will carry our flesh and our bones
We have come so far, but we’re a long way from home
[Chorus:]
