​Life teaches us that we are not built to last
Life comes and leaves us with story trails
He will be here soon, we chant
And again we will listen to the child's laugh
He will come and stand with our fellows
And listen to our sombre tales
He will cause the rain to pour and wash away our sorrows
 
He raised our arms and linked them
One by one
To the next
To another
Plant the seeds of love he sang
Watch them as it rains all day
 
He sang
He sang each and every word
 
‘You will open your eyes with the clouds
Waters will weep upon your cheeks
As the story trails pour down the rivers’
 
He stood as a fellow
He gave all his  love
He braved our sorrows
Listen to yourselves he sang
You are filled with so much love
 
He came our way
And took the sorrows
He sat with wives
Listened to their troubles
Took their woeful thoughts
He sat with men
Listened to their fears
Took their fighting arrows
 
He waved his arms
And called to his side
All of our dark shadows
He danced with them
Sang to the arrows
They took to the skies
He waved his arms
And called them back
Down into the shadows
They span together
He lured them in
Took them away along the broken path
Into the hills beyond the distant meadows
Leaving not even a silhouette of our sorrowful past
 
He came, he danced
He sang with us
He left
He left us with our freedom
