Veo la tinta La orilla del mar La luna, la brisa Me invitan a soñar Sueño con bailar Sueño con saltar Sueño con cantar Sueño con volar Llévame al alma A donde puedo tocar El cielo, con calma Y volver a buscar Veo la tinta La orilla del mar La luna, la brisa Me invitan a soñar

Once there was a forest Which shown with emerald leaves And in this grove a glass house Sparkled amidst the trees Once there was a forest Set to smoldering flame When you struck a tiny match For the glory of the game For fire moved you more than light And slowly this lovely world turns And the forest blazed like molten glass As the fire scored its path And the forest blazed like molten glass And my aching heart stood worn and still And yearned for the flames to pass The grove and glass once glistened Evading wealth and fame Emerald leaves and branches And gleaming windowpanes Ancient life has come and gone And quickly this deep beauty burns And the forest blazed like molten glass As the fire scored its path And the forest blazed like molten glass And my aching heart stood worn and still And yearned for the flames to pass And what if the match had lit a candle Which gave off a soft light That is a world that I could handle And we would have been alright And the forest blazed like molten glass As the fire scored its path And the forest blazed like molten glass And my aching heart stood worn and still And yearned for the flames to pass

Conflict rages A story for the ages Hearts in cages Silenced sages This tale is far too old My home bought and sold Measured out in stolen gold I'm tired, truth be told But the thing about being ancient Is you learn to be patient To wait and see What will be And this is the time To end the crime To let us grow This I know (x2) This I know.
6.	Port Meadow 04:12 video	lyrics	buy track
The meadow stretched out to the sky on that cool late summer day and I could not help but wonder why we chose to go this way You and I were simply shy, wishing we were brave And the meadow stretched out to the sky, and I hoped that we were safe (x2) Beyond books and stone walls The meadow stays despite it all (x2) The meadow stays to enthrall This vast and open place we've found that needed us to try To listen to the softest sound and the meadow stretched out to the sky

about

ANIMA is an album dedicated to the often-inexpressible relationships between humans, plants and animals on our beautifully diverse planet. In Italian, "anima" means soul; and in Jungian psychology, the word refers to the innermost self, the part of us which is connected to the unconscious. The album thus seeks to transcend presumed divides between humans and other beings-- and connect to a deeper, shared story of life on Earth.
