Trevor Hall - Jayrambati lyrics

Come child lay your head down This river sings without sound All of these things in your mind Leave them behind My mother's village Is inside How can one leave her? Mother of time Come child eat of this fruit All of me is for you For you are my very own Welcome, welcome home My mother's village Is inside How can one leave her? Mother of time Mother of the virtuous Or mother of the wicked We're upon your lap here And all of us are children Poetry's no use when describing who you are Creator of the love that's inside of my heart Darker than the night, yeah, brighter than the sun Higher than the mountains, deeper than the ocean You keep the world turning You're an unseen power I know not the time Not the place, or the hour Rising with the sun Shine and setting with the moon All your instruments are playing All are perfectly in tune Flowing with the water And burning in the fire My mama is the queen of this whole empire As I sit back while I watch her play the part As the beggar, as the king, as the thief, it's her art I am just a color in her unseen picture A pen in her hand as she writes her scripture My mother's village Is inside
