It's Everything

It was just above freezing, as the morning mist was lifting
We put in at the Oxbow, then we started drifting
We had nowhere to be, there's was so much to see
The egrets and the ospreys chasing down the morning wind
A fisherman pulling up rainbows just to throw them back again
Quiet royalty, hiding in the reeds

The air was a-raining down messages
Answering every question
I swear I heard a whip-poor-will sing
There's meaning in what each moment brings
Doesn't seem like much, but it's everything

I leaned into a douglas fir the bark against my spine
It felt more alive than me, more in touch with time
Roots were reaching down
Once again I found

The air was a-raining down messages
Answering every question
I swear I heard a whip-poor-will sing
There's wisdom in reimagining
Doesn't seem like much, (but it's everything) but it's everything

Red rice from the river
I brought mushrooms from the forest
Carefully collected what the earth provided for us
We lit a sunset fire and began the preparation
Felt like we were part, of an ancient conversation
Don't know where the hours went
It was time well spent

I swear I heard a whip-poor-will sing
There's meaning in what each moment brings
Doesn't seem like much, but it's everything
It's everything, it's everything
It's everything, it's everything
