About This Song
The song is in gratitude for good things: for bodies, for lakes, for kindness, for time. Life can be confusing and uncertain— but I’d like to learn to resolve the mystery of life with gratitude.
Lyrics
Father Good
Make us light
Keep us close
Weave us tight
Wade out in the great lakes
My body wants to be held
Burning embers to morning light
Fortify me against the night
Happy days
All is light
Sweet July
Glorify
Spirit voices at twilight
Grow in chorus from sweet delight
Glowing embers and a precious thing:
A little kindness to sit beside
Mother Good
Give us light
Hold us close
Weave us tight
Rattlesnake highways stretch out through Ontario
Radio static comes through on the stereo
We rolled the windows to let in the sound
Oh what a torrent, oh what a sound
Calligraphy, marry me, do so sincerely
Fall asleep casually under a canopy
The blue open sky, promising life,
Always in spirit, always aglow!!
Father Good
Make us light
Keep us close
Weave us tight
Mother Good
Give us light
Hold us close
Glorify
