Lyrics for The Waves

When I walk barefoot on the soil in the morning I can feel the heartbeat of the holy earth Under my feet And when I climb high among the hills, schooled in wonder I can feel the hurtling and the moving of the soul of the world As it speaks to me And when I fall into illusion's arms, even unto darkness Still I feel the power of the unquenchable light As it holds me And when I die, I'm going back over, I'm going back over In the boxcar of my soul to the high far summerlands Where I began Where I began
