Verse
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every thread of creation is held in position
G# A#
by still other strands of things living.
D# D#/D Cm
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Fm7 G#
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
D# D#/D Cm
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Fm7 G# A# D#
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
G# A#
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Fm7 G#
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Fm7 G# A# D#
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
G# A#
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Fm7 G#
are interdependent in vast orchestration
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Fm7 G# A# D#
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
G# A#
that flows through the veins of your being.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Fm7 G#
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Fm7 G# A# D#
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
G# A#
every doe that steps softly.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Fm7 G#
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
D# D#/D Cm Fm7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Fm7 G# A# D#
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
