There is a silence beneath all our noise, and it is calling us home. This soul-stirring gospel choral-folk track serves as a vibrant mirror for the spirit, moving from atmospheric humming to a powerful, stomping finale. "Rewilding Silence" challenges the modern disconnect, urging us to remember that forests are lungs and rivers are bloodlines. It is a powerful companion for those ready to carry the torch of restoration as we fall back in love with the only planet we’ve ever called home.
“Rewilding Silence” - Lyrics
Intro
Gospel organ opens to humming and upbeat clapping
Call and Response, Lead and Choir
We are experiencing
A deep wound of separation
There is a silence — Silencing
Interlude
Soulful vocalization
Call and Response, Lead and Choir
We came to believe
The earth was a thing
And not a being — This is costing us
This is costing us joy and wisdom — and our future
And our future — We can
We must — We must
Remember!
Interlude
Soulful vocalization
Call and Response, Lead and Choir
There is a silence beneath all our noise
It hums under traffic
It echoes beneath algorithms
It lives in the gap between our breath
And the brokenness of the world
This silence is the sound of our forgetting — The silence
For too long we have lived
As though we don’t belong
Don’t belong to the earth
As though forests - vocalization — are not lungs
As though rivers - vocalization — are not bloodlines
As though animals - vocalization — are not our cousins
We have named Earth “resource” instead of “relative”
We traded communion for commodification
But now something ancient is stirring
A memory, a truth we were never meant to lose
Vocalization
It is a call for remembering
Vocalization
For falling back in love
With the only planet we’ve ever called home
It is a torch, a torch song
And it is — time to carry it forward
It is time to sing
Vocalization
To sing it out!
Vocalization
Music swells with a powerful choral finale
