The water knows movement
The water knows their name
The water knows how to transform
The fire knows closeness
The fire knows their name
The fire knows how to transform
The air knows silence
The air knows their name
The air knows how to transform
The ground knows wholeness
The ground knows their name
The ground knows how to transform
The tree knows reaching
The tree knows their name
The tree knows how to transform
The ground knows wholeness
The ground knows their name
The ground knows how to transform
The puppy knows pleasure
The puppy knows their name
The puppy knows how to transform
The mountain knows stillness
The mountain knows their name
The mountain knows how to transform
The land knows release
The land knows their name
The land knows how to transform
And I know slowness
And I know my name
And I know how to transform

הָרַחֲמָן הוּא יָשִיב לִבֵּינוּ אֶל הָאָרֶץ
לְמַעַן נֵשֵב יָחַד עִמָהּ בְּשָׁבְתהּ, כָּל שְׁנַת הַשְׁמִיטָה
Harachaman hu yashiv libeinu el ha’aretz
l’ma’an neisheiv yachad imah b’shovtah, kol sh’nat hash’mitah!
May the merciful One turn our hearts toward the land,
so that we may dwell together with her in her sabbath-rest the whole year of Shmita.

Everything lays fallow
We have all that we need
Trust in that fills the gaps
That once were filled with greed
Water flows in bounty
There’s nothing now to mine
Remnants of systems from
Before covered in vines
Garden gates are open
The city streets are ours
Grass is sweet, enough to eat
And no one’s be behind bars
וּנְטַשְׁתָּ֗הּ וְאָֽכְלוּ֙ אֶבְיֹנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְיִתְרָ֕ם תֹּאכַ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה
Unetashtah v’achloo
evyonei amecha
V’yitram tochal chayat
Ha—sadeh

Breathe, breathe, breathe in
Breathe, breathe out
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Trust in what's coming
Trust in your knowing
It's deeper and wider and holy

This time of year when the rains don’t come
And your throat is dry with fear
And your ancestors are tired of running
Hearts beating too fast in your skin
And baby I know you’re scared
And I am too
We’re in this fight together
They’re gonna have to get through me to get to you (x2)
Cuz I will stay with you
Til the water meets the sea
I will stay with you
We’ll make the world
As it needs to be
Cuz they’re gonna have to get through me to get to you (x4)
Cuz I will stay with you
Til the water meets the sea
I will stay with you
We’ll make the world
As it needs to be

Uvashana hashevi’it
Shabbat shabbaton yihyeh
Shabbaton yihyeh la’aretz
Shabbat lashem
But in the seventh year, the land shall have a Shabbat of complete rest, a Shabbat for the Divine
