Lyrics

CREATURES

we are creatures of fragility and strength
connected by love but walking alone
doesn?t mean lonely just alone
doesn?t mean lonely
just alone

last night i think i cried my father?s tears
cradled my mothers fears
grandma?s flapper picture
i recognize the bird caged in her eyes soaring in the mirror
and this morning i saw a child with hair like mine
and it wasn?t like that before me
and we smiled cause we knew deeper

connect
here
now

mother father guide me
give love through me
children absorb me
ancestors breathe through me

connect
here
now

coming coming into coming into myself coming into myself
i am free

like a grandchild of an elephant
remembering what she hasn?t seen
reacting to these elements woven into her genes
and the stars they?re sending messages from billion years ago
pulsating light and casting shadows
and this soul cries
for mother father guide me
give love through me
children absorb me
ancestors breathe through me

connect
here
now

we are creatures of fragility and strength
