Allemande left & hold me close.
This world is bound to go to blows.
Doe-see-doe right & shine a light.
The heart of us swells & grows.
Static charge & lightning strike.
Crickets charm us through the night.
Summer winds settle low
into the evening's city glow.
Old nurse, the healing well,
salves the weary from buy & sell. [Chant]
Old nurse, the healing well,
salves the weary from buy & sell.
Strike out into the open,
this land stretches ocean to ocean.
Our time won't be forgotten.
Lives were meant to bend unbroken.
Lift your eyes & see what could be.
This world breathes as it should breathe.
Hear the open-ended heartbeat
calling you, calling me, calling every living thing.
