lyrics

Every day we know
That we are home
Is an age amidst a thousand days
Of our comings and goings

Happy are they - Who walk midst sparrows all beloved
Happy are they - Who know ye’in the warmth of the sun
and the soil
Drinking roots
Laughing voice
and olive oil
Talking streams
clouds adrift
and merry toil
Songs to sing

Be the sun on my back
And the moon before my eyes
Be a light along the way
On the roads of my heart

Happy are they - Who talk with sparrows midst the age
Happy are they - Who fain shall keep ye locked away
In a cage
In a box
In a book
Behind a door
amidst one kind
In a creed
For a war
Against them all

Hear and give ear
Oh harken to our hurt
Behold and enfold
The worn out faces of the earth

Happy are they - At home where sparrows freely glide
Happy are they - Who keep the gates there open wide
To the skies
To the beasts
to the tongues
Near and far
To familiar and strange
to the stars beyond the stars
