Voices in Song

Voices in song

let the voices of the world

be fire in our souls

let the voices of the world

be water in our mouths

let it sing into the agelessness of time

and make us believe we are beauty

we are sun we are river

we are stone we are air

we are that which gives us life

let the voices of the world

teach us to feel

to burn

to flow

to be utterly alive

let our voices rise

like the flame rises

like the tide rises

we are life

we are elemental

we are voices that sing

that weep

we are voices that

come alive

as soon as

breath is born

the vast space begs to be filled

with that sweeping line of voice

that colours space with that wondrous harmony

that is so strongly at home in our soul

let the voices vibrate

let the voices cascade through our souls

and let us live livelier than ever before

let the voices break through the forests

break through the ocean

let fish and bird hear we can

resonate with song just as they can do

i want to be there where the soul sings

because of this life’s blessedness

let us give love through our voices

let us share this voice we have had from birth

silence is blessed

yet singing is more so

it is a resonating of the soul

a baptizing within that vibration that gives life

to our hearts and minds

the voice moves like flame

searching for air and when it is released

it gushes forth like a new spring

the voice of fire

the voice of river

let it not be silenced

let it sound

let it burn

let it flow

we can sing

we want to sing

we need to sing

if we raise our voices, let it be in song
