A song of praise upon my lips

1.

Nevermore I'll be blind.
The glow of twilight,
the blue of the night,
the light of dawn
touch me now.
Have I seen such magic before?

Have I seen the green of leaves,
                    the blue of the ocean,
                    the dark of the storm,
                    the violet of the rainbow,
                    the red of my lover's heart,
                    her black hair in silvery moon light?

I see them now.
Mother Earth, I make this covenant with you.
Nevermore I'll be blind.

2.

Nevermore I'll be deaf.
The rustle of leaves,
the stormy winds,
the strength of thunder,
the song of rains
touch me now.
Have I heard such hymns before?

Have I heard the sonority of birds,
                     the quiet of the crickets,
                     the murmur of the river,
                     the howl of wolves,
                     the wail of my mother,
                     her lullabies in time before sleep?

I hear them now.
Mother Earth, I make this covenant with you.
Nevermore I'll be deaf.
