Ayla Schafer - Come Closer Lyrics

The earth says, "I will hold you, just come closer"
I will hold you, just come closer"

Tears upon my altar
The morning's cold I shiver
Have courage now take shelter
Spring is in the air is warming all is wakening
Arms are opening wide

I turn to the earth and pray
'may I always know what I came here for'
The forest calls,
My grandmothers once walked this ancient way
And I know in my bones I know this from before

I'm coming home, I know in my bones I know this from before
I'm coming home, I know in my bones I know this from before

What a precious gift, how could I turn away?
I'll treasure all you teach me,
No matter what color or whatever the shade
I love this learning
Remind me to trust when gone is my faith
For all is but fleeting
The wheel keeps on turning as long grows the days

I turn to the earth and pray...

When the bow is pulled taught is when the arrow springs forth x 2

I love this yearning, I love how it feels
Do what you will with me, do what you will...

Do what you will with me, do what you will
Do what you will.
