[ti:Becoming The Ancestor] [ar:Bluetech] [al:Rainforest Reverberation] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Becoming The Ancestor - Bluetech [00:32.70]I know where I come from [00:36.97]I know where I'll go back in [00:41.36]Between the two is mine to sing [00:46.54]And yours - if you'll carry the two [00:52.57]I know a song you can live off [00:56.39]Tall as stacked mountains [01:01.26]Curved as rivers labor towards sea [01:08.16]I've known singing like a war cry against hunger [01:13.20] [01:13.96]And singing like the hunger between rains [01:19.13]Singing like the rain's first silence [01:24.53] [01:26.32]Like the silence that teaches breath [01:32.30]And like the breath that keeps pace with walking [01:40.23]I know where I've been coming from [01:43.72]The long way around this world [01:46.99]I know a name or two [01:50.38]For each time of day and night [01:54.04]Each plant gone to seed [01:57.02]And each seed when it falls [02:01.28]I name each step for a leaf on the big tree [02:09.03]I name each breeze for a wave on water I'll never see [02:15.83]I name each child for the ancestor she is [02:22.97]For the one he'll eventually be [02:25.95] [02:29.00]Name so the world has a map that fits [02:33.82]Not like a suit - but like a shadow [02:36.78]Lengthening into night [02:41.85]Sharpest when the light is high [02:46.17] [02:49.62]Yes - I've sung the map [02:52.00]Fermenting sweet in dried up springs [02:56.04]Follow me if you like [02:59.64]You know I'm going back in [03:02.78]At the place where the song gets deep [03:07.78]Into quiet ground [03:08.33] [03:12.20]Where the map gets back into dreaming [03:19.38]And if you've sung the song to place of your name [03:25.02]Come on back in with me [03:28.54]Or stay and sing around the cycle [03:35.67]Another world or two
