Soil And Sky (Interlude) - Influence Music

Ruler serve, servant King

Suffering servant, sit with that

Sit with that

Well I may live here but I ain’t from here

I bear marks of my origin story

One of soil and sky

I hold inside a balance, a sort of paradox

That my greatest strength is strengthening others

Is being in awe and wonder

Seeing in the iris of others, my king and my kin all over me

In them, fingerprints in tree rings, it’s not what you think

A story of glory and suffering

Rejecting conquest and colonies

Inviting awe to pause and give thought, huh

you ever thinking you are not made of good and glory

It’s a whole court against any contradictions

Between message and messenger

Let this living epistle leak love and longing

Let my limbs never get co-opted by anything beneath legacy

Let me words resound the vibrations of God

And it was good, I had no answers

Just patience and empathy and acceptance and oneness

And hope and understanding and kindness and goodness

May I lavish you with the idea

That the cosmos conspired

To co-mingle your personage

With the divine iron eye

For real, inside of me and you

City on a hill

City on a hill
