Together We Are Found
Track 9 | Mother Medicine (5:14)
A song I wrote for a dear friend who brought me deeper into my gratitude for life.
Together We Are Found Lyrics
written by Sara Emmitt
Sheer force of the mother
she will give and she will take
and in this she will tell you
that you can’t control the way
The only time wasted
is being away form self
for in this expiring moment
our presence is our wealth
We were never broken
we were never chained
The shadow of illusion
is the devil’s favorite game
So free yourself from wanting
it to be a certain way
If you only see the black and the white
you’ll miss the beauty in the grey
Whispering sweet somethings
into a ripe sunrise
beckoning, unfurling
empty hands and wise eyes
Why is it you came here
Do you wonder who you are?
Carved of earth’s carnage
a secret recipe of the stars
We were never broken
we were never chained
The shadow of illusion
is the devil’s favorite game
So free yourself from wanting
it to be a certain way
If you only see the black and the white
you’ll miss the beauty in the grey
Oh my love
how lucky we are
We’ve been given so much
and we have come so far
And though we may be seekers
we know the truth deep down
Divided we are lost
and together we are found
Yes, divided we are lost
and together we are found
Ooooo divided we are lost
and together we are found
Know someone else who would love this? Please share.
