Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You have an ancient voice
And the language you use
I will never fully understand
You say you've made your choice
and now you'll wander upon this Earth
with nothing in your hands
Comporting yourself
right in line with all the wind's commands
Your lips are the peaks and the troughs
of the shifting sands
And now I'm listening
to the prayer that your throat
and you heart have made love and birthed
It's like some christening
A ritual more sacred
than the largest church
Or a miracle more common
than a clump of dirt
Yours is a life that's lived
and died as one eternal search
Tell me what it is you seek
And is that message heavy or are my ears weak?
Won't you tell me what it is you found?
My heart is racing fast like some young greyhound
Won't you tell me what it is you seek?
Been waiting on that wisdom week after week
Won't you tell me what it is you found?
The reverberations of some ancient sound
And it goes and it goes and it goes:
This life is happening
And there's no where that this giant earth could go
This life is happening
One generation comes as another one goes
This life is happening
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes
This life is happening
One never-ending moment like some grand rainbow
This life is happening
And our pain ties us together like ribbons and bows
This life is happening
And you can change the course of rivers but you can't stop their flow
This life is happening
This life is happening
