Emergence

I'm lying, in peace, in the womb
The earth, my mother, my tomb

So much life here, how could I ever sleep?
Roots stretch like veins
Pumping life here beneath
I feel the worms on my flesh
They speak of life, not of death

My ears awaken, now to songs so brand new
My sleeping limbs stir to dance of the truth
I hear the call now to stretch toward the sun
I'll crawl through soil and stone
Until we two have won
I find the strength in my bones
The earth is not yet my home
Now higher ever I climb
Cold fingers stretch for the sky

I stand alone on the earth
The sun has witnessed my rebirth
I feel you stir 'neath my feet
I call you now back to me

Now by my side we are one
My love, my brother, my son
Death cannot take you from me
Our souls are one, we are free
