“Into the Earth”
"Sea of Flames" (the first part of the song)
Written by Jenelle Rebecca Wohltmann
Into the Earth:
As a child I roamed
Within the dome
Through these woods
Dreaming up stories & fanciful songs
But it was you who took my hand
On that forgotten land
Gently encouraged me
To lay upon the earth
Beneath my hands was the ground
And atop my hands were yours
In a whisper you said,
“Feel the beat”
I swear the earth was alive
I looked into your chestnut eyes
And within them the stories of my youth
Burned like fire
This is not just a dream
This is our awakening
Arise
Arise
Arise
The story isn’t over
This is only the beginning
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Pure, mysterious man
Pure as the ocean’s sand
We stood together
And began to walk again
In the middle of the woods
We found the Juniper tree
At its feet something was transpiring
Three unique little birds
Burrowed into the earth
Within their eyes
You and I saw infinite peace
We waited an unknown time
Until the dirt began to rise
And the birds slowly emerged
Each one of them brand new
This is not just a dream
This is our awakening
Arise
Arise
Arise
The story isn’t over
This is only the beginning
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Unfathomable colors on their wings
It was then that
Those birds began to sing
The Cardinal
The Sparrow
The Luminescent Dove
Their songs in synchronicity
With the breath in the trees
Every musical note in the air
Leaving an incandescent trail
Every musical note in the air
Leaving an incandescent trail
This is not just a dream
This is our awakening
Arise
Arise
Arise
The story isn’t over
This is only the beginning
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Dig deep
Once again
Into the earth
Out of the earth
And into the sky
Where we hear
Eternity’s Lullaby
----
Sea of Flames:
We fly into the night
Patiently search for the firelight
At ocean’s end a new story begins
We finally reach the sea
Like John Locke, we’re wild and free
You hold the telescope
I carry the lantern and the map
Soaring across
A sea of flames
Burning so bright
Lighting up the sky
We watch the ocean
Dance with the fire
The crimson blaze reaches the shore
Opening up The Garden’s door
Where our ancestors drift
Into our world
A man adorned in turquoise
The first of his name
Dances around the fire
In a thunderous voice he proclaims:
“The dust and flames
Sing of your brand new names”
