This city is on fire tonight
Sweet forest fire silent and unseen
The sleepers awaken
Your eyes are open I know you're smiling at me
Some people say you're not here anymore
But your trees stand proud
And laugh and let them pass
So mischievous and holy
And this is a question I'll never want to ask

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea
I am your child, mother
Crying to be consoled
I recognize you now
Do you recognize me?

There's a part of me that wants to be silent
Immersed in your movement
Stung by your grace
And here is your song, and I'll sing it [bad word] home
I've never been away

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing
There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea

I am your child, mother
Crying for you to console me
Now that I know you
Do you recognize me?

There's a moon out here and she wants to be growing
Here's a river down here and she wants to go back to
the sea
I am your child, mother
Crying to be consoled
Now that I know you
Recognize me!
