lyrics

Where are we going to?
Where did we come from?
What does it mean to all be bones under the same ol' sun?
I've always been, always been right here...

So let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Ooo's

Trees my lungs, mist my breath,
That moon is blooming in my chest.
Courage, my love, your roots grow deep,
Down deep.
Scrambled stardust and mud
make up my own bones and blood
I've always been, always been right here...

So let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.

And then they came with their torches and their guns,
And so my friends gathered one by one by one by one.
I asked the spider how she weaves her web,
And she replied my dear, "Thread by thread by thread by thread."
Like ancestors with songs in their packs,
And they became us track by track by track by...
What is the mud that made you?
What is the mud that made you?
What is the mud that made you?
I love the mud that made you.
What is the mud that made you?
What is the mud that made you?
What is the mud that made you?

So let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.

So let the land sing through you, through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Let the land sing through you,
Like the rolling holy.
Ooo's
