Waterwheel

There is a place I go...somewhere inside you know...
there is a voice I hear "imagine a wheel and blow"

there is a path I see.... it leads away to me
old woman bird of prey....perform your giveaway and leap

two feathers on the waterwheel, turning, turning....
around and round and round and round and round and round and round they go...
around and round and round and round and round and round and round they go...
and I turn around ...I turn around and I blow

into the evening sky... i breathe a  beam of light....
and to the glowing sun, this sacred song is sung, tonight

around the world you dance  ... a whirling rainbow man...
when we meet heart to heart,  the earth becomes a star, again

two feathers on the waterwheel, immersing, emerging....
around and round and round and round and round and round and round they go...
around and round and round and round and round and round and round they go...
and I turn around ...I turn around and I blow...blow..... blow....
