Bee Proverb [field mix]

by Holly Brewer

supported by

Dr. Lab Rat Outstanding! Holly has released a lot of powerful music recently, but this one instantly became my favorite upon first hearing. The musical arrangement, the lyrics, the bee sounds, all of it is a perfect distillation. Honey from pollen, indeed.

lyrics

Words:
Moving through a field of wildflowers
I’m in love with this scene
Autumn trees are busy on the mountains
With their quilting

They don’t know the names that we gave them
Words only last as long as we can say them
I think we’re forgetting how to read the leaves

No problem
No worry
No matter
We still have time

Take only pollen
Leave only honey, honey
 
Everyday the quilt is getting heavier
Every patch that they sew
Making earth a blanket for the winter
To keep warm in the snow

We don’t know the names that they gave us
We’ll only last as long as we can save us
I think we’re forgetting just how much we know.

No problem
No worry
No matter
We still have time

Take only pollen
Leave only honey, honey
