Verse
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every thread of creation is held in position
A# C
by still other strands of things living.
F F/E Dm
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Gm7 A#
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
F F/E Dm
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Gm7 A# C F
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
A# C
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
F F/E Dm Gm7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Gm7 A#
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
F F/E Dm Gm7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Gm7 A# C F
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
A# C
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
F F/E Dm Gm7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Gm7 A#
are interdependent in vast orchestration
F F/E Dm Gm7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Gm7 A# C F
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
A# C
that flows through the veins of your being.
F F/E Dm Gm7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Gm7 A#
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
F F/E Dm Gm7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Gm7 A# C F
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
A# C
every doe that steps softly.
F F/E Dm Gm7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Gm7 A#
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
F F/E Dm Gm7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Gm7 A# C F
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
