Lyrics to the title song of our new album - Rising!

We are excited to get back into to the studio next weekend to do some more recording. In addition, we are launching our Kickstarter campaign today. Here is a little taste of the new album - the lyrics to the title song.

Rising

Music by Vera Alcorn and Shawn Orpinela.  Lyrics by Tasha Harmon and Shawn Orpinela.

Woven words of silk and glass, promises and longings,
holding hearts and voices fast, parted by the waters.
I walk this place by scent and sound, dark or light, lost and found,
worn to grooves by eye and mouth, now’s the time to fly.

I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
On the water I will ride.
I am rising.

Orange bleeding sky and hill, reflected in the water,
darkness bringing what it will – I won’t be here for dawn.
Decking shifts beneath my feet, gravity uncertain;
when this journey ends complete, I don’t know what I’ll be.

I am leaving, leaving with the tide.
I am leaving, leaving with the tide.
I am leaving, leaving with the tide.
On the water I will ride.
I am leaving.

Green-grey ocean, wide sky breaking through
Green-grey ocean, all is old, all is new. 

Woven words of silk and glass, promises and longings,
holding hearts and voices…
Wind and water reach for sky, only clouds to shadow.
Sails that hum a lullaby, steering for a song.

I am sailing, sailing with the tide.
I am sailing, sailing with the tide.
I am sailing, sailing with the tide. 
On the water I will ride.

I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
I am rising, rising with the tide.
On the water I will ride.

I am rising.
I am rising.
I am rising.
