Seven Times

There are lines of hills around us

I’m back in my father’s land

Billowing clouds and the lazy old wind blows

Bringing the turning and all of the change

Seven times sun, seven times rain

It’s been too long since I walked with you

Through the woods and the city streets

When I feel you running through my veins

I have no fear of what is to come

Seven times rain, seven times sun

We are what the gods have made us

We can go consenting through the world

We can watch our children growing away

Into the people that they’ll become

Seven times rain, seven times sun

I have a friend on the other side

We smile across the wire

But we never could decide on

Who was to be Abel and who was Cain

Seven times sun, seven times rain

And I’m OK up here flying

I just don’t know where to land

It took me nearly a lifetime to understand

The world has no anchor and no chains

Just seven times sun, seven times rain
