about

Recorded live at the Church of the Redeemer in Toronto, Ontario, April 14, 2007. From the album 'Bodies And Minds' (2005).

lyrics

The echo to your yell, the ripple to your dive
The current under your wave
Electricity is part of me
I send it out to you
We were charged with the pounding pulse of a million years
And millions before us have trembled with their fears

I never saw you, never heard you
But I knew that you were there
Everywhere
I could feel you all around me

Well I know that I am just a grain of sand
Meeting water at the land
We could make our castles here
And sweep them all away

I know that I am just a drop of water
Frozen into ice
On the stormy earth, that gave us birth
Over and over, in cycles, lovely cycles

I never saw you, never heard you
But I knew that you were there
Everywhere
I could feel you all around me
