Lyrics
Everything grows under the same sun
All of us come from the sea
As long as we’re alive we only seek to thrive
Until we go back to the mystery
I have come for communion, a precious sweet reunion
With the powers of the mystery
May I shine a light of kindness through the night
Until I go back to the mystery
May we shine a light of kindness through the night
Until we go back to the mystery
Notes
On December 24, 2020, I was walking through an old growth forest toward a wild beach on the coast of Washington, wondering what, amidst all the divisiveness in the world, are the basic commonalities among humans, and all the beings of the world. And I was asking myself: Why am I here? This song came through as a kind and loving answer from a place I deeply love.
