Smoke

There was rain that fell for the first time in a long time

When the people from all over came together

And the wind sang as they gathered

Their voices like thunder, they offered

In these elements are the dances

Of the loved ones

We've never met

They are here now

As they've always been

We will sing to them again

'Cause we're remembering

We're remembering

Oh the skin it has pigment of different tone

What would music be without harmony?

Oh we need all of these ways to be

It's not make believe

It's not even believing

It's just seeing things as they are

I don't know anything

But I'm seeing all the bridges yet to be built

Most times there are things easier not to see

And so we don't

Take me, oh truth, do with me as you please

I am smoke that sees clearly

We are smoke seeing clearly
