Verse
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every thread of creation is held in position
A B
by still other strands of things living.
E E/D# C#m
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
F#m7 A
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
E E/D# C#m
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
F#m7 A B E
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
A B
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
F#m7 A
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
F#m7 A B E
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
A B
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
F#m7 A
are interdependent in vast orchestration
E E/D# C#m F#m7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
F#m7 A B E
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
A B
that flows through the veins of your being.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
F#m7 A
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
F#m7 A B E
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
A B
every doe that steps softly.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
F#m7 A
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
E E/D# C#m F#m7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
F#m7 A B E
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
