Ida's Song

We planted the fields as the May moon filled
As the new season burst into flower
How fragile yet strong the promise of seeds
How dependent we are on their power

And we've waited so long for the summer rains
For the waters that slake the land's thirst
Roots twine and weave, prepare to receive
The drink with which all life is nursed

So let the rains fall
Soothe our weary souls
Let the rains fall again

You were born in the full blush of summer
Just as the twilight had waned
Most beautiful child, we've awaited your smile
Like our fields have longed for the rain

Breath is life and life is hope
Tha love will find a way forward
Most beautiful child, wrapped in love
Welcome to the world

So let the rains fall
Soothe our weary souls
Let the rains fall again
