Lyrics
Sing Me
Sing me, birds
Sing me awake
And I shall receive your song
And take it with me far and long
Not near as far as your freedom wings
Will take you in the day.
Work, my hands
Fight and fix
Be weapon and tool, caresser of flesh
Be cradle mover. Do my work
With skill and feel and effect
Be busy and strong
Hold another hand
And do not let it go.
Walk me, feet
Walk me away
But not for a coward’s escape
Only allow the change of view
And when you tire of pacing
Let me rest with you.
Lave me, rain
Lave me clean
That I may rise afresh
And I shall thank you clouds; confess
In silence to the maker.
Rest me, sleep
Rest me, dream
Remember me, world I have scratched.
