Drawn from the popular book by Patrick Jasper Lee - We Borrow the Earth. The Earth is singing to us here. Unless we borrow we will not be able to find our way home when we have finished with this life.

lyrics

Who but the wind shakes leaves until they’ve fallen, fallen, fallen to the ground?
Who but the storm brings clouds of darkness making, making puddles all around?
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 where you may
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 just don’t take

Who but the stream creates the air that raises, raises bubbles from the deep?
Who but the sun is forming the shadows, casting, casting something we can’t keep
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 where you may
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 just don’t take.

Who weeps for me, who’ll ever see what it means to hit this music?
Who has the gall, who sees it all and how it needs to be?
Who has a care, who wants to share; ain't it time to hit this music?
Borrow me, or you’re never going home.

Who but the moon looks down from heaven, luring, luring waves to dress the sea?
Who but the stars make constellations, winking, winking, looking down on me?
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 where you may
Borrow me, you can borrow me, you can borrow x 3 just don’t take
Or you’re never going home.

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
