The Basket

from Into The Blue by Lucy Wise

lyrics

Let us sit and be as one
And give our thanks for the trees and sun
Through light and leaves the air we breathe is crafted

The most important things we know
Were felt by people long ago
The past and present weave us like a basket

Over and under and through again
Strands of green glimmer with the old
Will it take the weight
Of everything we want to hold?

Let us sit in wonderment
At greed becoming common sense
To get ahead is our responsibility

We are taught to tow the line
That this is just the daily grind
That caring is just a liability

Who decides the future of this weary world?
Men in suits sip coffee in their high rise buildings
Fooling no one
Till it’s all gone and we forgot our songs

So let us sit and be as one
And give our thanks for the trees and sun
And to heal the gloom upon our souls
May we sing it out in all the words we know
In one another’s tunes we’ll find the gold
