Written by Matt Epp

lyrics

Next time that you can
lower down your hand
into the river, and let the memories flow past

Life is always changing shape
But whatever form it wants to take
It’s the water that holds the memories that last

Listen to the Earth speak, listen to her heart beat
When you’re dancing, your heart opens wide
It’s easy to see
It’s not us and them, it’s you and me
All life is made of water and love

It rains down, we rise up
Swimming in the hole we dug
While the babies are building castles on the sand

Well it’s the water that holds the love
Like the spirit is in the blood
The present is the future in the past

Chorus

We have relations with tails
And feathers and scales
The swimmers, and the crawlers, and the birds

You could stop the song, or cut the sound
but what goes around, it comes around
The voices of all creation, they will be heard
