By Breath
Words and music by by Sara Thomsen
By breath, by blood, by body, by spirit,
we are all one
The air that is my breath
is the air that you are breathing
And the air that is your breath
is the air that I am breathing
The wind rising in my breast
is the wind from the east, from the west
From the north, from the south,
breathing in, breathing out
The water that is my blood,
my sweat, tears from crying
Is the water that is your blood,
your sweat, tears from crying
And the rising of the tide
is in our veins and in the ocean wide
We are in the rising steam,
rushing river, running stream
The earth is dust, the earth is clay,
flowrs blossoming and fading
We are dust and we are clay,
we are blossoming and fading
Every color, every sound,
every place is holy ground
Oh, every living thing, can you hear it laugh?
Can you hear it sing?
The fire in my heart,
my soul flame burning
Is the fire in your heart,
your soul flame burning
We are Spirit burning bright,
by the light of day, in the dark of night
We are shining like the sun,
and like the moon, like the Holy One
By breath, by blood, by body, by spirit,
we are all one
