May You Be Held

"May You Be Held" Lyrics by Sumac

What is to come

And what will be left?

After fires

Are swallowed by the floods

Will you

Offer balm to the wounded?

Shelter

To those cast from their homes?

Gather together

All those who remain

Shepherd hordes

Through fields of dust and bones

In this place

Bereft of light

Diamond waters

To blackened tar have turned

And now

Through cracking lips are they cursed

As they slake

The thirst of none

Hands that once

Cradled and caressed

Peel flesh from the bodies of children

Bathed in rubble

Now

A prayer to you

As this has yet to pass:

“May the sun shine

Through your hair

May the light dance

In your eyes”

“May your limbs move

Through gleaming waves

Your body rest upon the earth

To embrace, part, return

May you be held

In shadow

And in light”

“In laughter

And in silence

May you walk gently

On this path

Borne by courage

And by kindness”
