End and Back 03:46
i'm dreaming of your pretty face, i'm dreaming of your smile, dreaming of those things your were to me when we went wild, i'm dreaming of those lazy days that we walked upon the shore, and i'm dreaming of the way you said you'd love me evermore but evermore don't mean that i'll be ever-by your side, evermore is ebb and flow and the changing of the tides, and everything you ever were to me, you always are, no matter what will come and go, i'll love you near and far and i will love you till the end of days yes i will love you till the sun, it fades and i will love you, forevermore yes i will love you in calm and storm so pretty baby, little darlin', tell me once again just how long you're going away, and when we'll meet again, until that day, i'll dream away through seven months of snow, and where it is the future lies, only time really knows and i will love you till my heart breaks yes i will love you till the whole earth shakes and i will love you even after that yes i will love, to the end and back

i met me a woman, lord, on a rambin' road, she was gone before the sun, before this song was wrote on a ramblin' road and i'm heading down the valley now, gonna save my soul, sit beside the waterside, listen to it roll gonna save my soul and i walk along that mountainside as far as i can go tell my ma and tell my pa, i won't be gone for long, as far as i can go now river run and river roll the river is my god to the rhythm in my soul i heard a voice through the pouring rain, calling me to roam, i took one step in her direction, got lost in the fog calling me to roam and i looked into your eyes again, the wind began to blow, a full moon shone on a dusty poem, there was fire in my bones, a wind began to blow now river run and river roll the river is my god to the rhythm in my soul to be without want, but still wanting to be it's alright to live your life free be without want but still want it to be live your life and live it free river run and river roll the river is my god to the rhythm in my soul

i left my home ten moons ago, just following my fate, i told you, baby, i'd be back and i walked alone in the wind and snow, my hands and feet been cold the night's been getting in long and though i told you, someday i would return i never could be sure, well i stepped into the everflow and i took those steps alone, a fearless wind did blow well, i had to leave those loving arms to find myself again, i had to walk on my own path, so many days of wind and rain across oceans, hills, and plains, there's one more mountain pass and though my bones shakes, and my legs ache, i've got to stay strong the path is long, the night is dark, but i still feel that love, and that's what keeps me going and i wonder when i'll see the sun rise, and i wonder when i'll see your eyes i feel it as my bones shake and i feel it as my mind breaks i feel it as the seasons take their toll i feel it in my soul i feel it in that snow and i feel it in the sun as it shines on my face it's shining on my face and i'm on my way and i'll be back someday as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the moon lights my way, and as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i sing out your name i sing out your name can't hold back any longer, i know it's not much further to your door, let the world fall off my shoulder and i'm coming home much stronger than before, and i'm coming home today

even the moon shines through my ceiling, and all that i know is only a feeling, i open my mind up to let the cool breeze in, and i'm closing my eyes now to let it all sink in let it all sink in know it feel it let it go receive it receive it now in the wind and waves, the fire and flame, everything crumbles but somehow remains, our bodies fall, blood, bone and all but we rise up as mountains and rise up as songs let it go let it go you cannot hold on to what you can't control and you cannot hold on to what must come and go you'll go back into the ocean, back into the ever flow back into the ocean back into the ever flow your flesh and bone, flesh and bone goes back into the forest, back into the sand and stone, back into the forest, back into the earth below below across timeless time, to the other shore these tears and this song will be the paddles for your boat so you may become the wind and the waves so you may become the fire and the flame

watch the sun rise up the sun rise up rise up up up up up see how the sun does rise see how the sun does rise and i'll sing you these lullabyes to bring you the new sun rise rise up and even though the rain may fall the sun will rise up we will rise up and when the rain falls upon your pillow to find you sleeping and kiss your dreams and when the rain falls in the morning may it land softly upon your fields to bless you always through all your years so you may stay forever young to watch the sun rise up and even though the rain may fall the sun will rise up and you are always beautiful and always loved yes you are always beautiful and always loved and in the morning the world beginning your eyes will open and you will see gentle sunlight beyond your window landing softly upon your fields to bless you always through all your years so you may stay forever young because we're rising rising on up greetin' that day greetin' that day thank you for this day thank you for this life

about

the winds of canaan whisper secrets into our hearts. they dance us together, and apart again.

mother mountain calls us home, and we answer, spiralling in from the ends of the earth.

we find our tribe in that promised land— the land of love and letting go, the land of mystic forest and stone,
the land of music, magic and destiny.

there we sing our wings alive to the beat of grandfather drum, remembering that ancient dream that connects us all, the dream that bonds our myriad colours of stained glass into one brilliant mosaic,
the dream that brings us home to canaan.
