about

Inspired by a poem of the same name by Rumi, this is a simple prayer of remembering the deepest truth of our humanity.

lyrics

Verse 1
I am the sparkling dust in the sunlight
I am the round sun
I am the morning mist and the breathing of evening
I am the whispering wind in the orchard
And the surf on the cliff
I am the bowed head and the pardon
Both love and the heart that has hardened
I am the fear, the pain and the tears of your loss
I am the time, the void and the line you’ll never cross
I am the dusty dreams of old
Won’t you come and find me?

Chorus
Look to the skies
See your own eyes
And out to the sea
Hear your heart’s mystery
And the trees and the earth
Sing of our rebirth
Mmm mm mm mm mm
Hail to the Sun
Hail, hail, hail, hail to the God in everyone!
For I am the question that burns in your mind
I am the space as the words fall behind
I am a crumbling concept of time

Verse 2
I am the sweetest taste, I am bitter
I am the curling tongue
I am the calling bird and the unfurling of wings
I am the coldest water falling
And the gift of Spring I am the prayer that you whisper each night
And the loving arms holding you tight
I am the sign, the bread and the wine of your flesh
I am the crime, both reason and rhyme of innocence
I am the dusty dreams of old
Won’t you come and find me?

Chorus

Outro
I am I am I am I am I…..

Ruth’s gently evocative music is born out of her own passion for self-knowledge; driven to explore the deepest essence of her humanity and her interconnectedness with the great web of life. In her music she blends the numinous with the human, weaving hypnotic guitar riffs and tender poetry with rambunctious offbeat grooves and playful word-smithery. ... more
