This is the Way

This the soup that I believe in This is the smoke I'm always breathin' This is the way I share my breakfast This is the way I serve my sentence I know I know I should lay low I should stand tall This is the beard I'm always growing I know they're here I see them floating Her empress beards they float so holy Their beards are here they gently hold me Well who knows who knows Yeah I may come home Yeah I may return This is the way I'm always leaving This is the soft voice of the evening This is the way I hear my father These are the flames that drown the water Well I knew I knew I could stand tall I could lay low This is the sound that swims inside me That circle sound is what surrounds me This is the land that grows around me And these are the hands that come in handy Well we've known we've known We've had a choice We chose rejoice
