lyrics

There goes another day into the sea
The sun rolls off the edge
Into the arms of it’s long journey.

My name is Abraham I have no fame
I come from a tormented land
I pray to a God with a thousand names

This is how I kneel
It’s just the way that I kneel

There was a pestilence, there was a war
I fled with my family near
We climbed on a boat for a distant shore

This is how I kneel
It’s just the way that I kneel

I wake in the darkness
I reach out my hand
I trace the stars of my ancestors land
I hold to the edges
Of our sacred wheel
I fight to believe
This is how I kneel

Come here my children, sing me our song
We are worth more than the wars
We are like stars up where we belong

This is how we kneel
It’s just the way that we kneel




I wake in the darkness
I watch for dry land
I tend to the seeds here in my hand
I stand at the ship’s rail
Keep watch for my fields
My knees in the dirt
This is how I kneel

There go my children
Just out of reach
Brown-eyed and barefoot and free
Running like sandpipers down the beach

This is how I kneel
This is how I kneel
This is how I kneel

Singer-songwriter Kevin Brown makes his home in rural Northeastern Washington state, not too far from the farms where two sets of great-grandparents settled a century ago. The rich natural surroundings serve as a metaphor for exploring the landscapes of the heart and soul -- faith, family, love, the passage of time, and the interwoven fabric of earth and humanity. ... more
