[Verse 1]
I dream in roots and rivers
Petals talking to the tide
Foxes trading quiet stories
With the forests we divide
We’ve stumbled through the seasons
Hands too heavy on the earth
Not because we’re evil
Just forgetting what it’s worth
[Chorus]
Language of everything
From flower field to fin and feather
We could listen
We could answer
Why be foolish when the truth is in our skin
Mother Nature keeps the ledger
Reads it back to us again
[Verse 2]
This isn’t about old rituals
Or the rules we learned at school
It’s the seed inside your pocket
It’s the shade that keeps you cool
Build our houses out of kindness
Clay and sunlight
Woven straw
Every footprint leaves a message
Every breath becomes a law
[Chorus]
Language of everything
From flower field to fin and feather
We could listen
We could answer
Why be foolish when the truth is in our skin
Mother Nature keeps the ledger
Reads it back to us again
One day the wind will call the roll
Stone by stone
And soul by soul
“Did you give back what you were given?”
Will we stand there
Steady
Living?
Before the smoke
Before the mud
Before the smoke
Before the mud
[Chorus]
