Dancing in the Green

I am the Green Man, I am the stone
The lonely king upon his throne
I've walked the woods, I've learned the rites
Through forty years of endless nights
I built a cage of my own will
And told my wild, green heart, be still
I was the anchor and the shield
But in a dead and barren field

But the winter's over, the ice has cracked
There is no longer turning back
The sap is rising in the tree
A part of you, a part of me!

So come with me, my Hearth-Fire Queen
Come dancing in the emerald green
I'm not a man who's leaving you
I'm just a soul that's breaking through
The lies we told, the vows we broke
The final, honest word is spoke
I have to go, the wild's in sight
So come and be my second light!

You are the Druid, you are the Grace
The sacred heart of this whole place
You feel the pull of sun and stream
The ghost of your own, secret dream
You're not a girl who's made of glass
This fragile peace was not meant to last
You have a fire in your soul
That wants to be completely whole

And the winter's over, the ice has cracked
There is no longer turning back
The sap is rising in the tree
A part of you, a part of me!

So come with me, my Hearth-Fire Queen
Come dancing in the emerald green
I'm not a man who's leaving you
I'm just a soul that's breaking through
The lies we told, the vows we broke
The final, honest word is spoke
I have to go, the wild's in sight
So come and be my second light!

I know you're scared, I know the cost
Of leaving the world you thought you'd lost
But the forest and the garden can be one
If we can learn to share the sun

So come with me, the Hearth-Fire Queen!
Come dancing in the emerald green!
You’ll not get away, I’m coming, too!
And both of our souls are breaking through!
The lies we told, the vows we broke
The final, honest word is spoke
We have to go, the wild's in sight
So come and be my second light!
Come and be our second light!
Come and be our guiding light!
