ABOUT THIS SONG The precious moving, swirling Earth element, air, is next to tell her story. The song is flowing and it bounces along, rising and falling in melody, sweeping through the sky. It is in the Crown Chakra key, B, so it lifts us up to the top of our being to touch the sky. I sing it at the higher reaches of my range at the time, so it lifts even more, and carries a sense of tension. In the middle of it, there is a counterpoint of breathe me in, breathe me out, that reminds us to do so slowly, thus creating the balance that will result in proper care of the air. We all know there is air pollution. We all know that those who choose to pollute in the name of profit are foolish, short sighted, and really ought to be prosecuted to cease and desist. So this song does not protest. It simply celebrates the beauty of the flowing air, this essential life substance that delivers to you and me the chi force, and the oxygen, to sustain our very life being. This song was the singing debut of our daughter, Gabriela, as she laughs joyfully at the tag ending of the song. Sure, Erin was tickling her...but at the very end she makes a breathy sigh that sounds exactly like the word, breathe...let us insure, through choice and action, that we clear the air to deliver the pure substance to all here now, and to all who follow... |

SONG LYRICS: AIR
You can’t see me I keep you alive I am the sea that fills The endless sky Home to eagles and balloons I carry light I carry tunes And I keep the clouds from Falling down Pushing sailing ships From space to space I lift the butterflies To kiss your face Home to bees and gliders, too I carry smoke and sweet perfume And I keep the clouds from Falling down Breathe me in and Let me fill you Hold me deep and let me Still you I am the air I gladly bring you Breath of life breath of life Come with me we’ll float Above the ground Gliding on the currents We’ll sail peacefully around We’ll touch the very edge Of space Find the North wind’s Hiding place See a rainbow face to face Reach the point where Weather’s made Go riding on a raindrop And come soaring down Breathe me in and Let me fill you Hold me deep and let me Still you I am the air I gladly bring you Breath of life breath of life Breathe me in, Breathe me out… ©1994.
