about

This is one of my favorite songs on the record. It came about after my dear friend Reirani and I attended the first RAJ festival together.The surroundings and music were beautiful, mantras take you to esoteric places, away from the dominant materialistic. She later wrote a Facebook entry that was so stunning and expressed something i think so many of us feel. When you are a connected person, you can see the normative rape culture that goes unspoken, that effects our planet.She is our mother and we keep taking, with no remorse. This knowing flows through most women (and some men) that I know. i asked her if i could convert her entry into a song. Thank you Reirani. My brilliant sister.

lyrics

And the mantras fall down from the heavens 
as we sing them back into the sky 
outstretched on the grass in the starlight 
clutching the blades as she cries 

as the far away voices came tuning 
her heart opened wide 
and the thousands of years started streaming 
down her face thro her hair earth inside 


mother I'm so sorry for what we're doing to you 
yeah we're pirates marauding 
laying waste to your beauty 
in our ignorance and greed 
we done cut off your hair 
and we poisoned your blood 
we've forgotten your love 


As the tuning fork went right through her 
she was part of an infinite song 
and as the multiverse stretched to evolve itself 
she heard all conscious beings sing along 

and as the faraway voices came closer 
her heart burst open wide 
because she knew that the balance existed 
and the symphony could never die
