Old Souls - Dianne Reeves

I see them smile through faces of people I don’t know

I hear them in the music on my radio

Wisdom of the winds

Faces in the clouds

Rhythm of the rains

Old mountains standing proud

They prepare me for a special place

Tell me I’ve no time to waste

Challenge me to face my life’s request

Encourage me to do my best

Everywhere I go in everything I see

Flying in the air speaking truth through me

I am a curious spirit child

Who fell to earth through a crack of lightening

But God so kind and merciful sent old souls to guide me home

A vow that all betray

Old souls walked this land with dignity and grace

Consecrated earth it was a sacred place

A perfect balance of nature a gift to all the world

Still I throw away the oyster just to wear the pearl

In my darkest deep depression

They give counsel to my soul

They open up new meaning

And God’s power takes control

I am a curious spirit child

Who fell through a crack of lightening

But God so kind and merciful sent old souls to guide me home
