about

A poem to remember that there are laws that are far older than the ones written on white paper. Laws that came before us, created us, and will continue to be long after we are gone.

lyrics

Where did we come from?
Where will we go?
The sea erases lines drawn in sand by sticks of men
Waves have been taking footsteps since they were made on land
The rain, wrote stories through mountains,
painted skies, spun rivers and signed stone,
in places the sun has never known.
So how can words written on white paper,
with ink that blooms into dead flowers
rule over a world that cannot be owned?
Where we came from?
Where we will go?
有和在深處? (what’s in the deep?)
There’s something in the deep
水體之底 (beneath bodies of water)
We know
故事,歸屬,家鄉 (stories, belonging, home)
Home
大地中央 (center of the Earth)
河流到海洋 (from rivers to oceans)
In our bones
Listen
你聽的到嗎? (can you hear it?)
