Verse
C C/B Am Dm7
Every thread of creation is held in position
F G
by still other strands of things living.
C C/B Am
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Dm7 F
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
C C/B Am
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Dm7 F G C
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am Dm7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
F G
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
C C/B Am Dm7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Dm7 F
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
C C/B Am Dm7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Dm7 F G C
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am Dm7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
F G
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
C C/B Am Dm7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Dm7 F
are interdependent in vast orchestration
C C/B Am Dm7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Dm7 F G C
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
C C/B Am Dm7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
F G
that flows through the veins of your being.
C C/B Am Dm7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Dm7 F
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
C C/B Am Dm7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Dm7 F G C
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
C C/B Am Dm7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
F G
every doe that steps softly.
C C/B Am Dm7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Dm7 F
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
C C/B Am Dm7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Dm7 F G C
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
