歌词
With the fresh, fragrant air does the river course by
Yet unaware where its hurried course lies
Driven by current, all-encompassing tow
Life on the surface moved by what roils below
So as we wend through speech and encounter
The rivers of underthought carry us forward
Awareness can grasp the path left in its wake
But never the course that the current shall take
Brother of mine, when we meet
The gestures and tones rivers of underthought let fly from your bones
Sister of mine, when we hear the songwords and tones
Rivers of underthought seep into our bones
With the fresh, fragrant air does the river course by
Yet unaware where its hurried course lies
Driven by current, all-encompassing tow
Life on the surface moved by what roils below
And so they connect us, what truly bind us all to one another
Streams unseen, under all thought
Join like the reservoirs and tributaries
As seen from miles above the Earth
Stretching into its curvature
Join like the great interconnection of all water, of all life
As the rivers of underthought flow to the sea
Through deltas to oceans, lakes, and estuaries
From any of their seven billion sources
The latticework of human experience
How the torrents sometimes rage
How they sometimes wane to rivulet; how they sometimes freeze with the cold
How they sometimes build so strong, so relentless
So boundless as to swell and swell and burst the dam
As the white water roars into the valley below
This is how we change, how the valley of the spirit reshapes its face
Renews, restores, returns us again to balance
So crash together, run together, rivers of underthought
Oh the deluge when we gather
So crash together, run together, rivers of underthought
Oh the deluge when we gather
