Holly Near singing with you

Life is full of tides that pull oceans and hearts to shore
And I find it’s like the heat of dancing feet keeping a body warm
I like the melodies in evergreens
Roaming winds and rocky mountains
Summer storms and hawks that warn innocent lands
Working hands
And miraculous birth of a child who demands attention
I have been such a child
Life’s a gift of arms that lift baskets of fruit to share
And I find it’s like a night of northern lights
Startling the unaware
I like the whales at sea, the mysteries
Irish cliffs and desert flatlands
Weathered barns and farmers’ yarns
Arrows unfound, quiet towns and incredible death
Oh, we know it is bound to happen
Singing with you is the best thing that could happen to me, my friend
You throw me back a voice
That is a mighty bit more than making a dream come true
And when life is a burden
And every heart we know is a hurting heart
The world is on trial, we’re walking a mile
And singing with you is a start
A start for me, for my heart
And singing with you is a start
