Always

[Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland, Beverly Glenn-Copeland & Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland, spoken]
Blessed am I to be loved by you
Blessed am I to be loved by you
Blessed am I to be loved by you

Two-spirited are you
A prophet pregnant with proof of human possibility
Two-spirited are you
Your life a crucible of chemically creating human gold
In awe I witness as you breathe freedom into rigid definitions of Yin and Yang
You hold two worlds like the sky holds the stars
Surely and with reverence
In your arms I feel heaven
In your presence I know grace
Blessed am I to be loved by you
Blessed am I to be loved by you

I am a tall tree growing
Leaves erupting
Roots burrowing deep
Feasting in fragrant earth
I am a constellation
Pegasus flying
Gods crying
Sacred wonder
With you beside me I hear the heavens
With you behind me I dance in joy
Blessed am I to be loved by you
Blessed am I to be loved by you

In the silver-flecked night Orion's arrow flies true
Shattering shards of pain into orange sun rays
Blessed am I to be loved by you
Blessed am I
If I am frightened will you catch me when I fall?
Always
Catch me when I fall
Always
Always

Let me nod to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments
Love is not true love which alters
When an alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove
Oh no
It is an ever-fixed mark that looks upon tempests and is never shaken
Never shaken
Oh great dreamer who art our eternal mother
Hallowed be thy flame
Thy rapture come
Thy songs be song
Enjoy at thy simple wonder
Give us this day, our daily breath
And forgive us our hubris
As we forgive that which makes us complicit
And lead us not into extinction but deliver us from further benumbment
For thine is the history and the mystery and the moral
Forever and ever and ever
And lead us not into extinction but deliver us from further benumbment
For thine is the history and the mystery and the moral
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
May we remember your beauty
May we remember your beauty
May we imagine a glorious and just future
May we imagine a glorious and just future
Blessed are we to be loved by you
Blessed are we to be loved by you
Blessed are we to be loved by you
Who every day makes it all brand new
Oh, my beloved
Come to me
Come to me and sing as only you can
I open up my arms
Come to me
And sing
