Les Séquoias

When I walked down the sequoia alley
I breathed in fully for once
And sent two thousand prayers to the wind
To save us from all the previous sorrows

Before the dried-up river
Before everything was swept away
I want to go back to the alley
To hear the sequoias sing
Ah ah

Taming the silence, the weaknesses of my voice
And inhabiting my own body for the first time
I've kept all the wind's secrets well
Intertwined with the thick sap and my blood

Before the murdered trees
Before everything was swept away
I want to go back to the alley
To hear the sequoias cry
Ah ah

When I walked down the sequoia alley
I breathed in fully for once
