Chimes

Oh, the chimes are sounding
And they echo wildly off the canyon walls
Well, this is wild land humming
These are ancient songs that fill my body

Oh, the light is astounding
Its golden lashes sweep the old growth
Well, this is my joy spiraling
These are my spoils for simply breathing

Still with all my faults
I draw my breath from an ancient earth

Oh, the light is astounding
Like the sulfur cloud amongst these stately pines
Well, I can hold my gaze as steady
And in a thousand years we'd verily think the same

Still with all my faults
I draw my breath from an ancient earth

Oh, for what it's worth
I draw my breath from an ancient earth
