Guard against the thunderstorm, cankerworms and climate change 

          D                      G 
May the bark rub away the powerline 
                         D                         Asus4  A 
Bandage over knots and burls, commemorate our injuries 
 

         Bm  D          E             
May the hy--dro worker’s blade  
                 A   A/D  A/C# 
Be swift and precise

To lift me up and lay me down, bear the swinging weight of love 

          D                         G

                       D                         Asus4  A 
Carry off the tiny seeds of better ways to be alive

May it all seem plausible 
             A   A/D  A/C# 
Wherever we land 
       D 
May we grow
