about

This song contains an adaptation of Walt Whitman's poem "I saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing" from his publication Leaves of Grass, 1891-1892.

lyrics

I am dispatching a future sapling
Some day I'll plant my roots and grow
Caught up in a current, swept up in service
To ride the wind where it may go, oh

Wind carry me home, wind carry me home
Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home

The sky is cracking, lit up and flashing
Tears from above push me below
The wind is ruthless, but never truthless
It's found me a place my roots can grow, oh

Wind carry me home, wind carry me home
Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home

(Adapted excerpt from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman:)

I saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing
All alone it stood and the moss hung down from the branches
Without any companion it stood there, uttering joyous leaves of dark green
But I wondered how it could utter joyous leaves, standing alone without a friend or lover near, for I knew very well I could not.

And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves
A curious token, it makes me think of human love
For all that, and though the Live-Oak glistens there in Louisiana,
Solitary, in a wide flat space,
Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend or lover near,
I know very well I could not
