The Song of the Weaver
Once there was a weaverA weaver like no otherOn his loom he weaved a tuneA song of all creationWoven with the thread of lifeThat all be joined as oneWeaving out a harmony to sound through all eternitySing the song for everyone and sing the song for meI weave the garden of the EarthMy shuttle flies to give you birthI twine the ground with gloryAnd embroider it with beautySpin the paths of paradiseAnd strew them all with joyI twist the yarns of colour and lightTo make my livery shining brightSing the song for everyone and sing the song for meI weave a world of wonderBut you tear my work asunderYou trample on my labourYou rip my roots from underYou leave my land all threadbareLetras de cancionesYou take but don't repayYou hurl your weight around youYour power and strength confound youSing the song for everyone and sing the song for meTread lightly as you wanderThis is not yours to squanderHear the hurt you're causingAs you crash and bang and rattleSee what lives you smotherAs you lay your blanket downYou raid the earth for treasureBut never count the measureSing the song for everyone and sing the song for meHear the song the bee singsHolding life between its wingsTakes the nectar from the flowerBut leaves the flower still standingDeals no death nor damageTaking only what it needsOn its way it quietly goesAnd pretty and sweet the garden growsSing the song for everyone and sing the song for meA stitch upon my tapestryI can slip you out and leave you beFor a few short steps along my pathMy mantle I will lend youBe careful how you carry itOr your backs will all go bareFeel the hurt and join the songThat we all may sing for ages longSing the song for everyone and sing the song for meOh, I twine the ground with gloryAnd embroider it with beautySpin the paths of paradiseAnd strew them all with joyI twist the yarns of colour and lightTo make my livery shining brightSing the song for everyoneHear the song of the weaverSing the song for everyone and sing the song for me From Letras Mania
