lyrics

Sweet river flowin',
carry me on your tongue.
And stone walls of canyon,
echo all we have sung.

And we sing to the night,
and we sing to the heights,
from the vastness of our eyes,
the nebulas alight.
And we sing to the night,
and we sing to the heights,
from the chaos aligned,
bowing to this life

ch:
Sing Aho, Aho
Sing Aho, Aho

Tall grasses blowin',
bury me in your soil.
And indian paintbrush, queen anne's lace,
wild in the wind,
remembering what's yet to come,
and all that has been.

And we sing to the night,
and we sing to the heights.
From the vastness of our eyes,
the nebulas alight.
And we sing to the night,
and we sing to the heights,
from the chaos aligned,
bowing to this life

ch

And looking up to mama moon,
she said all you need is within you.
See I am thunder, I am grace
to manifest this sacred space.
I am power, I am bliss
spread splendor through these fingertips,
Aho

So sweet river flowin'.
carry me on your tongue.
