about

Written during a journey in Morocco, while hitch-hiking in deep south, crossing red and dry landscapes, seeing no difference between the ground and the houses ; it questioned me about the consciousness, or not, of the connection between human activities and their natural environment.

Here is a theremin solo !

lyrics

From the ground / I raise myself
Once dry / Under men's feet

From red earth / Raising forth
For a roof / Building fourth

Now shaped / To stand up
Thanks to water / I protect men
Through my walls / Earth is speaking
“I'm in movement / To serve you”

Family gathers / Holding force
Fearless walls / Keeping faith
From red earth / Raising forth
For a roof / Building fourth

Family gathers / Holding force
Fearless walls / Keeping faith

But my beating heart
Even hidden is a woman
A woman called
Fatima the Patroness
Guiding by the Hand
Fatima the Patroness
Guiding by the Hand
Leading by the Heart

Here I am
I am embracing
