Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

I sing yesterday’s refrains
As I dream tomorrow’s tunes
Scrying my soul
Like a scattered plate of runes
Seeking new ways to praise
The beauty of the moon
Sliver of silver painted by night
Carved and filled in endless phase
Content to share the light
From the Source’s glorious rays

Hit land as a castaway tossed from sea
Wet behind the ears and weak in the knees
Grasping at fruit from every tree
Praying this one will teach what it means to be me
All these mirrors reflecting strange faces
Shuffling for places in diminishing spaces

{Chorus}
There was an instant
When it all came crystal clear
The center is now
We enter it here
Each day we play
The journey of the year
The mountain melting
Beneath fire rain pelting
Setting the water on its course
River swelling and winding
Each drop finding
Its way back to the Source

Met three pilgrims on a quest to the East
Barefoot and baying and burdened like beasts
Following the sunrise toward holy ground
Where the gates to Paradise might be found
One sought by breath, and one by eyes
And one by death to be free of lies

I too once climbed to caves of ice
The master graced me with a bag of rice
As I descended weary from the hike
Beset by beggars and hustlers alike
I pressed in each palm a sacred grain
All strength drained was slowly regained
Like the sky must feel to offer Earth rain

The gift is in the giving
My way of thanking you for living
I’d just as soon that you have the blessing
For we’re all the same light
In different dressing
We might push to the front by force
But only as One
May we return to the Source

{Chorus}
There was an instant
When it all came crystal clear
The center is now
We enter it here
Each day we play
The journey of the year
The mountain melting
Beneath fire rain pelting
Setting the water on its course
River swelling and winding
Each drop finding
Its way back to the Source
