We walk on the side of the mountain 

Bird song wraps around us tight

It builds a nest  to protect us

From the storm 

The bird song has a way of going out 

And coming in 

Brings us worms to eat 

And nourishes

Our souls

The bird song builds diamonds in the sky

We can see them, but not when we try

Only when we see that everything is going out and coming in as one thing 

And we are walking on the mountain side 

But we are the mountain 

We have come to ourselves and now we see

The bird song going out ahead of us

To protect us from all harm 

To create a space for us

A sacred space anywhere we go 

Where we can be happy and at peace 

No matter what
