Under a Blue Moon

Under a blue moon this night the shadows fall in restlessness
Somewhere in a silent valley running water stills
Deep within the granite rocks the spirit of a temptress
Who calls to all who listen with a song of stifled wills

Wherever the water flows, she beckons and will find us
Wherever the breeze may blow she knows the melody
In our blood and in our bones a history lies behind us
Wherever the future led our knowledge to a tree


Once upon an age ago the written word has told us
Of the things we know and should be learning without fail
Somewhere in the depths of habit traps are set to hold us
Coins and carnage hand in hand reach for an empty grail

Listen for the perfect song which echoes through the valley
Ringing from a night sky carried on a solar wind
There will be rejoining when we find the heart to carry
The burden of a past we all must shed for to rescind

In the dusky dawn awaits the promise of beginning
Casting out the desolation we have wreaked before
To make the choice we need to know our heart is in the singing
For all of us the gift of new life waits upon the shore
