Carrie Tree - Thousand Days

 

I must have lived a thousand days like this before

As side to side, I'm haunted as my choices see-saw

All consumed, I am being eaten whole by

a hungry mind that's forever tugging at my soul

All you wild horses gather round

My spirits free never bound

I've come way too far to turn back now

We’ve come way too far to turn back now

It seems to me

Like I've been seeking this for years

A way to stand truthfully in my grace and in my tears

I'm growing roots

help me put them down

In a place that's green

As concrete is the cancer of our towns

All you wild voices gather round

Our spirits free never bound

I adore this, this sacred ground

I was born to this tender land

And we all have a choice to be present and kind this time round

As we've all gathered here

we've gathered together somehow

And we've come way too far to turn back now

I adore this, this sacred ground

we’ve come way too far to turn back now

I was born to this tender land

I adore this sacred ground
