Earth + Sky

from Bread + Roses by Joshua Hall

about

This song is about a conversation between a father and child about death. I wrote it thinking of my father, who is very much alive, and how I will have this conversation with my own children.

lyrics

Earth + Sky


There is a place beyond the horizon
Rainbow’s end in the palm of your hand
Stars shine like diamonds
In the night

Where do we go when life’s done
How do we know asks my little one
The mystery
What I believe
Is where love resides between
Earth + Sky

How do you get there asks my little one
East of the Moon, West of the Sun
North Star guides
Magic inside me
Map of your heart is how you find me
Always

(Chorus)
There is a place beyond the horizon
Rainbow’s end in the palm of your hand
Stars shine like diamonds
In the night

Every day flowers bloom
Anthems are sung by the light of the Moon
Till the firelight goes down
Till there is no more sound
Between Earth + Sky

(Bridge)
A long rest for wary bones
The troubled world falls away
On a soft bed of Earth
With a blanket of Sky
I’ll sleep

When it’s my time little one
I’ll go and it can’t me undone
It’s OK to be sad
And a little mad
But save a smile for your dear old dad
Between Earth + Sky

(Repeat Chorus)

I am an Alternative Folk Artist whose songs engage the listener to feel and think deeply, to find the reverence in everyday life, and to question the stories that define so much of the modern world ... more
