READY TO BE A WARRIOR

Ready was the warrior
Ready was the war horse
I waited for a sign
From the smallest watching source
Riding through the gate
Dust in my teeth
Heart coarse
I slid a branch in earth
Made a bargain with its course

If it grows
If it blossoms
You will see my shadow burn
If it withers into silence
Turn your face
Let your heart turn

Wait for my return
If the wild branch blooms in springtime
Carve my name in every word you learn
Hold the door of every lifetime
If it doesn’t wake or blossom
Let my place beside you harden
Leave my plate to moss and possum
Lay my memory in the garden

When I marched to war
I scored a cross into the oak
Don’t you cry
My father
Don’t you bend
My mother spoke
“Let the cross inside the bark
Carry every fear you choke
Let the roots drink all your sorrow
Let the tree bear what you broke”

If it grows
If it blossoms
I will walk that old road home
If it cracks and never closes
Take your tears and let them roam

[Chorus]
Wait for my return
If the wild branch blooms in springtime
Carve my name in every word you learn
Hold the door of every lifetime
If it doesn’t wake or blossom
Let my place beside you harden
Leave my plate to moss and possum
Lay my memory in the garden
