May You Be Held Lyrics by Sumac

May You Be Held

2020

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
Cradlеd and caressed
Peel flesh from thе 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"
