lyrics

Walking in the old town
Down a dirty street,
Or living in the hills
With the stones lying at your feet.
Breathing clean air
Or moving through grime,
All things change
Given enough time.
Life all over
Or barely begun,
We all still live
Neath the Moon and the Sun.
The winds reach the city,
As well as the hill
And after we’re gone
They’ll be blowing still.

Jump up and live again.

Mortality
Is such a small price to pay.
For awareness we have
Of our living today.
And the gift of awareness
Is all that we own,
And all that we’ve offered
Is all we have sown.
If awareness has touched you,
And you know what I mean,
When I say it’s still real,
Even if it’s unseen.
And didn’t our feet
In those ancient rhymes,
Walk on the green hills
And not in the grime.

Jump up and live again.

Give jade to the water
And flowers to the air.
Give a house to the holy
So the holy can live there.
Give food to the old ones
And smoke to the drum.
Bright cloth and turquoise
As a gift to the Sun.
Touch all that you see
And all you do not,
With a spirit of beauty -
I know you have not forgot.
Light fires for the living
And fires for the dead,
Let the feast be prepared
And the Spirits fed.

Jump up and live again.
