Her Hands Were Leaves lyrics

See my brother he is walking in the sun His back is bare he carries no burden for anyone I see the island, a silver line Brother how you shine And all around the light And all around the light Now I see my father he's so small against the sky Child, the tree, the shadow is on his eye He doesn't know who he's supposed to be Father you are free And all around the light And all around the light Now my momma she is crying on the stair Her hands are leaves, the light is in her hair As she prays she thinks that no one heard Mother you are a bird Mother you are a bird And all around the light And all around the light And all around the light All around the light
