Here we are standing at this slippery precipice Gazing out with vertigo to the pathless abyss As we spiral in descent it's hard to see if we're on track But one thing is for certain - there is no turning back So what will you sacrifice, what will you leave behind? What tools do you carry in your spirit, soul and mind? What hardships have you gone through that prepared you for this strife? What gifts do you offer at the altar of life? We are building a bridge across the unknown We're all going together, no one's going alone We're all building a bridge and we each bring a stone No one's built it before but the blueprint is in our bones We've been living in a sick way that won't work anymore Now the sickness is inside us, we can no longer ignore We've taken and we've dominated all that we could claim And now we're being colonized by something we can't tame Because the earth she is wild and she wants us to slow down And remember our own wildness that connects to the ground Where our roots grow down deep and they all are intertwined In this new world we'll be leaving separation behind We are building a bridge across the unknown We're all going together, no one's going alone We're all building a bridge and we each bring a stone No one's built it before but the blueprint is in our bones We are the descendants of the ones who have lived through Plagues and wars and genocide, flood and famine too Their wisdom lives on in the ground, in our bones and dreams Let's call upon the ancient ones to guide us through this scene May they help us remember how it feels to be in sync With the rhythms of the earth that we're inseparably linked There's no going back to normal - at least the normal we've known of We are crossing to a new world on a bridge we build with love We are building a bridge across the unknown We're all going together, no one's going alone We're all building a bridge and we each bring a stone No one's built it before but the blueprint is in our bones
