We are the duet
Of water meets dust
Sky meets ground
Heaven meets earth
We are the duet
Of a mucky dance
Crying over the crops
Stepping upon the seeds
We are the duet
Invented from the mess
Of creation, turning
Into devastation
By the hands of the
Coalition
We are the duet
Pouring hands and feet
And cranking necks
And exposing wrists
And lengthening legs
And loosening tongues.
We are the duet
For the dried up leaves
In need of a drink
For the endless fields
Silent in their thirst
We are the dance
To grow and harvest
That will give and give and give
And keep feeding and keep feeding and
Keep feeding
Both types of souls:
Those who believe the duet is worthwhile
And those who believe they can live
Without the smallest amount of rain.

We are the duet
Of water meets dust
Sky meets ground
Heaven meets earth
We are the duet
Of a mucky dance
Crying over the crops
Stepping upon the seeds
We are the duet
Invented from the mess
Of creation, turning
Into devastation
By the hands of the
Coalition
We are the duet
Pouring hands and feet
And cranking necks
And exposing wrists
And lengthening legs
And loosening tongues.
We are the duet
For the dried up leaves
In need of a drink
For the endless fields
Silent in their thirst
We are the dance
To grow and harvest
That will give and give and give
And keep feeding and keep feeding and
Keep feeding
Both types of souls:
Those who believe the duet is worthwhile
And those who believe they can live
Without the smallest amount of rain.
