Living, Breathing Being

 

Have you drunk this water
Have you breathed this air
Have you walked upon this earth?
Yes, I have drunk this water
I have breathed this air
I have walked upon this earth

Here we have these miracles
Simple and profound
Living breathing being
One in All

You’ve been given body
You’ve been given soul
You’ve been given birth
I’ve been given body
I’ve been given soul
I’ve been given birth

See, this is arising
See, this fades away
Universe of wonders
I give thanks for today

Have you felt the tearing
Of a broken heart
Overwhelmed by waves of grief?
Yes, I have felt the tearing
Of a broken heart
Overwhelmed by waves of grief

Here we have these learnings
One in All
Living breathing being
Peacefulness within

Have you been in darkness
Desperate and alone
Have you felt it all too much?
Yes, I have been in darkness
Desperate and alone
I have felt it all too much

See, this is arising
See, this fades away
Mystical and earthly
I give thanks for it all

Have you heard music
Have you tasted food
Have you known a lover’s touch?
Yes, I have heard music
I have tasted food
I have known a lover’s touch

Here we share these lifetimes
One in All
Living, breathing being
I give thanks for it all.
