🎵 Lyrics

Heart Leaf in the Sunset

The breath hidden deep in the moss, A hoofbeat in the gray dawn.

We are the forest from the beginning, Forged from ancient, dark toil.

In every leaf, in the ferns of our ancestors, The heart of primordial times still beats.

Oh, let us flow, wave upon wave, Into the eternally resonating Om.

Where the water leads us to the source, And the wind sings us its song.

In the stillness, the world lies ready.

(In the stillness, the world lies ready)

A tender seed, a gardener's heart, The blue in the water lily's glow.

No sharp thorn, no old pain, Only sweet shall the blossom be.

We weave ourselves a green garment, From tenderness and heartfelt joy.

The fire burns in our breast,

(In our breast) The heartbeats in the sunset.

It is the love we knew, A spark against all hardship.

Two birds that find each other in flight.

(Those who find each other in flight)

Oh, let us flow, wave upon wave, Into the Om that eternally resonates.

Where the water leads us to the source,

And the wind sings us its song.

In the stillness, the world lies ready.

(In the stillness, the world lies ready)

Om... Ur... Love... Love...

Everything resonates... everything remains...
