Lyrics

Core of Nature

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I will wear the sun

Ancient light through these woods

Woods that I walk through alone

I will take my rest

With all creatures who dwell

Under the smallest of green

I'll remain no more than is required of me

Until the spirit is gone

I will long to see all that waits to be known

And all that will never be known

Enter the core of nature

No earthly mind can enter

But I will wear the sun

Bound to others

We see many things

I will train my feet to go on with the joy

A joy I have yet to reach

I will let the sound of these woods I have known

Sink into blood and to bone

I'll remain no more than is required of me

Until the spirit is gone

I will long to see all that waits to be known

And all that will never be known

Enter the core of nature

No earthly mind can enter

But I will wear the sun

Bound to others

We see many things

I will wear the sun

Ancient light through these woods

Woods that I walk through alone

I will long to see all that waits to be known

And all that will never be known

All that will never be known

All that will never be known

All that will never be known

All that will never be known

All that will never be known
