End
Softly, softly, let the feet find the ground.
Listen closely, there is peace in the sound.
No need to rush, no need to run away.
Just sit with the wisdom of the turning day.
In the silence of the valley, in the breath of the breeze.
We find our purpose among the ancient trees.
So let the drums carry the weight of the years.
Clearing the vision and drying the tears.
There is a goodness in the way we hold our own.
Seeds that were scattered have finally grown.
We walk with confidence, we walk with grace.
Finding our rhythm in this sacred, quiet place.
It is the foundation, it is the root of the tree.
It is the truth that sets the spirit free.
Ancient Mother, steady is your hand upon the stone.
Guiding the wanderer, making us feel at home.
Under the wide sky, where the rivers run so deep.
These are the promises that the elders choose to keep.
We are the rhythm, we are the pulse, we are the song.
Right where we started is where we belong.
(Percussion fades slowly into natural bird calls)
Steady hand.
Deep earth.
Ancient home.
Just breathe.
(Fade out)
