Verse
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every thread of creation is held in position
D E
by still other strands of things living.
A A/G# F#m
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Bm7 D
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
A A/G# F#m
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Bm7 D E A
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
D E
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Bm7 D
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Bm7 D E A
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
D E
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Bm7 D
are interdependent in vast orchestration
A A/G# F#m Bm7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Bm7 D E A
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
D E
that flows through the veins of your being.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Bm7 D
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Bm7 D E A
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
D E
every doe that steps softly.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Bm7 D
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
A A/G# F#m Bm7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Bm7 D E A
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
