She breathed life into this place before anyone was here
She counted every creature and fed them from her hand
She called the grasses from the dust and rivers from the hills
From an endless garden fed the wild birds and deer
She conjured me from a whirlwind as it tore across the land
Still I can barely keep my feet as the ages pass us by
I spend my years still tearing at the dirt to make it grow
I try to carry the rain away from every lake it fills
I can only watch the garden in its cycle bloom and die
And labor in a burning sun for some reason I don't know
Once she argued with that sun and cursed it from the skies
And in a fit of rage she drew the glaciers from the north
She turned the land to ice and froze the rivers where they stood
Until the sun had no choice but to apologize
And in an epic flood she thawed the waters, sent them forth
She scrubbed the land with the rushing flood and smoothed it with the rain
Grew back the colored grasses and trees to shade the streams
When the People moved out there as she knew they would
She kept her house away from them far out on the plain
She taught them how to live by whispering to them in dreams
Even now they fear her and sometimes their fear is hate
They blame her for their failure and hunt her like a beast
They destroy her beloved creatures out of spite
They are fools to think their anger will be her fate
She is as distant as the sun rising in the east
Then sometimes she makes a fury rise inside of me
And I become a terror to all who would wish her ill
I reach across the sky to crush them all both wrong and right
I flatten every house and tear up every tree
Then disappear to leave the land quiet and still
