High above the branches they make their pleas
Over the leaves and under the branches
Round the rocks is where they hide, those birdies
Chirp-chirp, the calls fall like avalanches
Leaves all around, leaves padding for the ground
The leaves make its footsteps silent as night
The sly fox skirts through the trees all around
It weaves up hills as if taking flight
And at this great place where bird and fox meet
Surrounded by river, rock, and the trees
Far far away from inside where we eat
They beg of us that their home we don’t seize
But our inside ears do not understand
Our inside selves are a boat run a’land
