Recorded on: "Beyond the Cedar Moon," Craig Olson, 1999
Subject: Nature
In the seasons of the cedar As the Wheel turns round and round A quiet voice is calling you Tell me can you hear the sound Of wind blowing through Her branches Or the sound of ravens' wings But even as they're tumbling down My heart begins to sing Givers of long life Teachers of all that's true I hear you calling Beyond the cedar moon You can see it in the distance In shapes both bright and dark Where once there stood a cedar tree Now there's a hole in my heart It's the sacred fire in everyone That's here to lose or gain I only hope that we're in time To save the pieces that remain When the cedar calls us, we must hear So that rivers and streams can flow clean and clear When the trees are cut, fish and waters die It can't be sustained and I wonder why We take what we want and we call it love What were we thinking of? Givers of long life Creatures of green and blue I hear you singing Beyond the cedar moon
