[Verse 1]
D G
Oh may the roots reach beneath the sleeping street
D Asus4 A
Station in the riverbed, register what we won’t hear
D G
May the leaves puzzle out the canopy
D Asus4 A
Shake and photosynthesize everything we’re sorry for
[Chorus 1]
Bm D E
Into one long breath of air
A A/D A/C#
[Verse 2]
D G
May the ring of Tanglefoot and fibreglass
D Asus4 A
Guard against the thunderstorm, cankerworms and climate change
D G
May the bark rub away the powerline
D Asus4 A
Bandage over knots and burls, commemorate our injuries
[Chorus 2]
Bm D E
May the hy--dro worker’s blade
A A/D A/C#
Be swift and precise
[Verse 3]
D G
May the rope remember all the rhymes for knots
D Asus4 A
To lift me up and lay me down, bear the swinging weight of love
D G
May the birds answer carabiner clicks
D Asus4 A
Carry off the tiny seeds of better ways to be alive
[Chorus 3]
Bm D E
May it all seem plausible
A A/D A/C#
Wherever we land
D
May we grow
