The Face In The Leaves

I am the face in the leaves
I am the laughter in the forest
I am the king in the wood
And I'm the blade of grass
Thrusting through the stone cold clay
Oh I'm the blade of grass
Thrusting through the stone cold clay
In the death of winter
I am before and I am after
I go down but I will always
Always rise again
I go down but I will always
Always rise again
I am John Barleycorn
I must die to be reborn
I go down
But I will always
Always rise again
I am Lord Jesus Christ
I choose to be sacrificed
I go down
But I will always
Always rise again
I am a green green man
In this still green land
Strike me down
But I will always
Always rise again
I am the face in the leaves
I am the laughter in the forest
I am the king in the wood
And I'm the blade of grass
Thrusting through the stone cold clay
Oh I'm the blade of grass
Thrusting through the stone cold clay

Words Used Well
00:41

Because words used well are never enough
We shall accompany them
Because words come from within our bodies
We shall nurture them
Because words used well can break the chains of tyranny
We shall use them wisely
Because words used well can breach the veil of heaven
We shall summon them
Because words come from the one word
We shall listen to the root

Divide And Rule
02:59

First they came for the immigrants
But I was not an immigrant
So I said nothing
Next they came for the unemployed
But I was not unemployed
So I said nothing
Then they came for the old and sick
And took away their walking stick
But I was not old and sick
So I said nothing
When they came for the young and bold
I was not young and bold
So I said nothing
Finally they came for me
But by then no one was still free
To stand up tall
And speak for me
So no one said nothing
No one said anything at all

I am a circle
I am healing you
You are a circle
You are healing me
Unite us
Be one
Unite us
Be as one
