Hills Of Morning

Underneath the mask of the sulphur sky
 A bunch of us were busy waiting,
 Watching the people looking ill-at-ease,
 Watching the fraying rope get closer to breaking
 Women and men moved back and forth
 In between effect and cause
 And just beyond the range of normal sight
 This glittering joker was dancing in the dragon's jaws
 Let me be a little of your breath
 Moving over the face of the deep --
 I want to be a particle of your light
 Flowing over the hills of morning
 The only sign you gave of who you were
 When you first came walking down the road,
 Was the way the dust motes danced around
 Your feet in a cloud of gold
 But everything you see's not the way it seems --
 Tears can sing and joy shed tears.
 You can take the wisdom of this world
 And give it to the ones who think it all ends here
 Let me be a little of your breath
 Moving over the face of the deep --
 I want to be a particle of your light
 Flowing over the hills of morning
