Interdependence Day: I am You and You are I (A Folk Song Madrigal)

{Yes, just imagine a dozen voices on the chorus, yes you can learn it, just hum along 'til you catch the flowless flow... - [bracketed words are add-on flexible] and [[double brackets indicate variants]]  }

Chorus:
Drenched in sharing
all the words and poetry [flowing on]
Drenched in sharing
I am you and you are I [without end].
Quenched in caring
What is yours and what is me?  [[or: What is yours and what is mine?]]
Quenched in caring
I am you and you are I.


Verses (order goes, first each with chorus between, then all together in a row with several choruses in a row afterward)




Interdependence Day: I am You and You are I (Song)

Swimming the lake in the boat without end
Along the shores of the waterless flow
Flowing on...

{Chorus}

Flowing in the lake waters without end
Along the bank of the stoneless flow
Flowing on...

{Chorus}

Floating in the lake on a back without bend
Along the bankless waters that flow
Flowing on...


{Chorus}

Swimming the lake in the boat without end
Along the shores of the waterless flow
Flowing on...
Flowing in the lake waters without end
Along the bank of the stoneless flow
Flowing on...
Floating in the lake on a back without bend
Along the bankless waters that flow
Flowing on...


Chorus: Drenched in sharing
all the words and poetry [flowing on]
Drenched in sharing 
I am you and you are I [without end / flowing on].
Quenched in caring
What is yours and what is me?  [[or: What is yours and what is mine?]]
Quenched in caring
I am you and you are I.  [flowing on...]

(Repeat Chorus x 2  or free form repeat amongst Imunuri's)

Sound trial link here [not all variants or riffs in there yet, would be better with a dozen folks, maybe we'll tape a version live in Portland if folks are game : ) ]

    I love listening to this. I would like to offer accordion accompaniment, drone or doodle. I would like to offer help in finding you a backing band. I really love this, Scooter.
