about
this is one of my favorite tunes by one of my favorite folk singers - Jean Ritchie; she has inspired my music in so many ways, and I am so thankful to be able to share this amazing song with you, and to have gotten to record it with my dear friends and musical family, the Golden Tree Story ... enjoy! - Cynthia
lyrics
Across the plains there moves a sway
It moves with human sound
Some do walk and some do run
Some crawl upon the ground
Some do stop to help the weak
Some trample on the others
Some do laugh, and some do weep
and all of them are brothers
Sounding all around the sound
Around and everywhere
None but one can understand
and none but one can hear
I mine, and I thine
Father, mother, son
I me, and I thee
and all of us are one
I saw 4 travelers in a dream
all in the wind and weather
the chains they carried in their hands
it bound them all together
One was yellow, one was red
and older than the others
One was black, and one was white
and all of them were brothers
Sounding all around the sound
Around and everywhere
None but one can understand
and none but one can hear
I mine, and I thine
Father, mother, son
I me, and I thee
and all of us are one
