My spirit is out on the waters
My spirit is out in the trees
My spirit is out on the hillside
My spirit is inside of me
Your spirit is in the fields I’ve walked
Your spirit is in the rustling of leaves
Your spirit is in the rocks I’ve picked
Your spirit is inside of me
Great spirit who is out on the water
Great spirit who made all this snow
Great spirit who is with me as I release this pain
And now it has somewhere to go
As I leaned upon the rock I love
It took the pain into the earth
It gave me the chance to breathe again
To find the songs inside my head
I need more days out in the woods
In fields where I can be all alone
I can find my connection on all the earth
And it helps me find my way home.
Great spirit around and inside of me
Finding new ways to set myself free
Grandmother moon looks down upon me
As I try to accept what’s inside of me
As I walk on the ice and the snow
Let go of the pain and find my way home.
