There in the deep woods
Where everyone ends up some time
Despair grows into
Loneliness
Weary and afraid to take another step
Dark, quiet solitude will rise
Hush, darling
Hush, darling
Listen to the earth as you press your ear to
The soil full of life
Galaxies of teeming multitudes
She speaks in whispers to your heart
Reminding you to breathe
Sink deeper into the cave of the great mother
She is holding you now as you weep
In this cocoon you will be transformed
From this moment forward you can fly
All hopes rising from the earth
In blooms, and bark, and padding creatures
Now you are hope for others
Holding gently to their hands when they, too
Enter the deep woods in the darkest night
