Together We Are Found

Track 9 | Mother Medicine (5:14)

Mother Medicine - Sara Emmitt Album Cover

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.
