(Repeat until fade out)
Emerald river dance with such velvety grace
To the rhythm of the Earth
And every beat reveals magic pathways of light
Where each seeker finds rebirth
Listen to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And Nature ever favors softness
Like grass growing gently through cement
And softness often thrives where brutality lies
In a shroud of Death's foul scent
Listen to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
It seems like everyone's so afraid of emotion
'Cause they can't bear the pain
But the deeper sorrow carves in the heart of your being
The more joy you can contain
Listen to the bleating absence of sound
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
