The Day the Earth Released Its Grip on You

The day the earth released its grip on you
The scales fell from your eyes your vision true
You crossed over that river to rejoin the ones you knew
On the day the earth released its grip on you

I've heard all of your stories
At least the ones that you would tell
I know most of your secrets
The ones you could not hide so well
The tree that bears your name is growing
Stretching out its branches green
Waters still are flowing
From the head of your sweet stream

The day the earth released its grip on you
Your body whole, your mind and soul renewed
Up from dust and ashes to the heights of love anew
On the day the earth released its grip on you

There's a pushing and a pulling
When the tides of life come in
The water's pushed to new heights
And the sand's pulled deeper in
The tide is changing up my shoreline
Wearing down its cliffs and coves
Working out the edges
Where the healing water flows

The day the earth released its grip on you
The ghosts that haunt your nights are finally through
Your number will be counted with the saints in worlds anew
On the day the earth released its grip on you

The day the earth released its grip on you
Your legacy is strong and clear and true
Your work is all completed; there is nothing left to do
That's the day the earth released its grip
She pulled back her icy fingertips
On the day the earth released its grip
On you
