about

"Taken from the wonderful pulse of the southern gospel voice that was such a part of my urban southern upbringing, I wanted this song to be written as an elemental gospel anthem. A celebratory nod to the worship of the wild world around us, the hums of the stream, the chimes of the bell tower, the power of song to wash over our human toils and strains. I wrote it to remind us that we are bigger than our singular human conscience." ~ Leah Song

lyrics

Hmmmm…

I'm conjuring waters
Flow with all your soul
Rushing rivers
To bathe the human toil

I’m calling on our songbirds
Call out your perfect lines
Sing to us lullabies
To mark the passing time

I'm conjuring our bell towers
Chime into the winds
Let it heal you
And circle with your kin

Hmmmm…

So sing and swoon and wander
The rushing of the wind
Come gentle, come surrendered
The storm comes as a friend

I'm conjuring waters
Flow with all your soul
Rushing rivers,
To bathe the human toil

I’m calling on our songbirds
Call out your perfect lines
Sing to us lullabies
To mark the passing time

I'm conjuring our bell towers
Chime into the winds
Let it heal you
And circle with your kin

So sing and swoon and wander
The rushing of the wind
Come gentle, come surrendered
The storm comes as a friend

So sing and swoon and wander
The rushing of the wind
Come gentle, come surrendered
The storm comes as a friend

So sing and swoon and wander
The rushing of the wind
Come gentle, come surrendered
The storm comes as a friend

So sing and swoon and wander
The rushing of the wind
Come gentle, come surrendered
The storm comes as a friend
