Story Behind The Song

I was toying with the notion of music as medicine, and prayer outside the exclusive context of religion.

Song Description

A secular prayer of protection from fear and faithlessness.

Lyrics

Inoculation

I can leave it all behind
Just hands and feet, heart and mind
I can find things on the way
Just earth and wind, night and day
I can go where things are good
A mountain, river, forest, wood
The world and I can get along
I'm water,fire, color, song

Fear won't freeze me
Pain won't cripple me
Loss won't jade me
I live and live I
Lust won't fool me
Greed won't corrupt me
Anger won't possess me
I am you and you am I

I can make the medicine
Sap and flowers, earth and skin
And home is ready in a night
Skins and branches, firelight

I can make a place for you
We're free, divine, right and true
We can keep this world alive
No need to wait, we've all arrived
