about

The Promise is inspired by and set to the words of Ted Pope

lyrics

These days are a wind falling through this open wound, the sky
These days are a wind falling from the open wound in the sky
I bent myself against that blow
and in doing so stretched out
farther than the farthest star
wished myself the smallness of a raindrop
and so became the sea
I humbled myself to the beginnings of a seed
and thus I have become a tree

Where were you when the first blades of grass
pushed themselves upward through the earth's skin?
You were in the world, of the world
and you were the world
yet you knew it not

As a fish is of the sea in the sea
and a fish is the sea
yet knows it not
you have not been born, you do not live
so you shall not die
This is the promise
