about
This song is dedicated to our grandfather Hans Möller, who passed away from Covid-19 in 2020. It speaks about how his generation built this place, in all its wonders and all its fallacies. Words derived from a conversation between Hans and ourselves, the young and the old. Perhaps also echoing the conversations between earth and man, as it appears in the search for a sustainable future.
lyrics
Trees that fell to build this house
Left a seed to grow again
Water longs to dance again
In streams that gave us millions of lives
Holes that dug prosperity
Left me thirsty by the sea
Soil broken by my mouth
Asks us to unite as friends
Through the air
Through the air, reaching me
Healing words of poetry
Trees that fell to build this house
Left a seed to grow again
Light comes in where cracks where made
What you seek is seeking you, too
Left a seed to grow again
Water longs to dance again
In streams that gave us millions of lives
Holes that dug prosperity
Left me thirsty by the sea
Soil broken by my mouth
Asks us to unite as friends
Through the air
Through the air, reaching me
Healing words of poetry
Trees that fell to build this house
Left a seed to grow again
Light comes in where cracks where made
What you seek is seeking you, too
