lyrics

Sarayaku
by Camelia Jade

one night grows a spark
caching light from your eyes

burning through
the greatest lies the world has known


let it grow
as we learn to live
as we soften our steps
tell me,
have you had enough
of this yet?


I bow my head
to the Earth,
she’s asking us
what life is worth

brittle leaves
covered your heart
they leave slow
like little leaves,
open your heart
can we let go?


with the thirst of thunder
rolling over our bodies
it’s getting harder to deceive us

with the names of conquered valleys
rising in the mountains to dream

we are letting go
of the lie that says
the truth
isn’t worth your time


may your heart
grow lush and wild
with the pulse of the earth
tell me,
what is it worth?
