I was made by the wind
and the wind come carry me
carry me to the place where I belong
carry me cross a field
carry me cross the floor
from my birth to my grave when I'm gone
carry me by golden leaves
carried by an ocean breeze
I was lit by a flame
and by flame you will take me
to the beyond I will follow you
By a leap from my heart
out of the darkest of nights
to the brightest of days
I will embrace you
and kiss you farewell
I was born from a wave
a wave of love and labour
when I was washed ashore
you pulled me out
and I slept on your brest
my hands grew a hide
as I looked deep into you
I was brought to this earth
as a seed of life
as I buried my hands in the ground
I would wait for you to grow
into a beautiful being
reaching into the sky
with your green arms
to catch these last rays
of golden light
from a setting sun
I was kissed by the sun
with arms of golden light
I was shaped from the tears
running down my face
as I have to say goodbye to you my friend
You had a home in my heart
I only saw you in flashes
in the in-between
I was kissed by the sun
with arms of golden light
