Smoke Lyrics:

There was rain that fell for the first time in a long time
when the people from all over came together
and the wind sang as they gathered
their voices like thunder, they offered

in these elements are the dances
of the loved ones
we’ve never met
they are here now
as they’ve always been
we will sing to them again
‘cause we’re remembering
we’re remembering

oh the skin
it has pigment
of different tone
what would music be
without harmony?
oh we need all of these ways to be

it’s not make believe
it’s not even believing
it’s just seeing things as they are
I don’t know anything
but I’m seeing all the bridges yet to be built
most times there are things easier not to see
and so we don’t
take me, oh truth, do with me as you please
I am smoke that sees clearly,
we are smoke seeing clearly
