"Silent Spirit" lyrics

"Silent Spirit"

Yeah, yeah, yeah
And to my loved ones
Who navigate the currents of life and who, occasionally or regularly
Feel rudderless in the river

In this long night, there is no end
Deep dominion, Father be my friend
I stand on the shoulders of mothers long dead
Singing their stories

Life is but an eddy
So be a leaf in a stream
Eternally, we return to cycle through the song we learnt

I would say don't be a musician, my son
Be a doctor, lawyer, or a stand-up citizen
People on the street would stop and ask me if I'm proud
But I'm not proud
You did it yourself, I wasn't around

But time is pregnant with the past
With the knowledge that they lost
Time is eating its last meal
If they listened, could they heal?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
And though I cannot hold you, you will know my presence by virtue of the wind
You know your daddy never knew what he was doing
It's all love
I love you

I am wind, I am rain
I am photon, I am wave
I am wind, I am rain
I am photon, I am wave
I am love, trauma, pain
Reincarnate hurricane
I have sinned, fanned the flames
Knocking on the pearly gates
