Breathe
The four walls have gone
And the clean little blanket
Can calm your soul with the son
The son of the earth
As you stand on its back
And since the dawn of birth
Breathe
Little wolf, little wolf
Come rise from your sleep
For the full moon arises
And your soul you should keep
Little blanket, little blanket
Come curl round your skin
And cover the wounds
That lie now within
And I can feel your hurting
And I know you’re in pain
But your mother has come home
To comfort you again
Your mother the moon, round in colour
And there’s no one kinder, no other your mother
It’s time to stop bleeding and crying inside
From the past you have hidden but no longer can hide
It will no longer hurt and you’ll bleed no more
For the moon has returned and your heart it hath tore
The shadows have come as your friends once more
And to the voice say, I say shut the silver door
Listen
That feeling of freedom
It’s not easily understood, throw away the four walls
And let me out if you could
Because a dying wolf cannot breathe
In the forests of the man
In a little wooden box
Please… I don’t know if I can
Try living in the forests
The forests of the earth
And watch the earth care well for the wolf
From your death until your birth
Breathe
Little wolf, little wolf
For the one day today it’s over
The pain of your thoughts, the game of naughts
In your head for now it’s over
And for once you can breathe in the moonlight
And feel the blanket of the wind on your face
And hold my hand as we walk with the moon
Over the Earth, in this glorious place.
