COME IN COMMANDER PUNA
(for Annapurna)
Come in Commander Puna there’s no more fighting to be done The war is finally over and all your enemies are on the run I know you said the river is where we wash away our sins
But these kind of wounds run deeper than any water on your skin
The wound of love, the wound of light
The wounded shadow in the night
One by one they said "Stay true"
One by one they bled for you
Come in Commander Puna I know you’re still out there
Your lungs are filled with mercy, you’re breathing in thin air
You healed a thousand curses, you were not broken by the wheel
You stood your ground until you found who and what was real
The wound of love, the wound of light
The wounded shadow in the night
One by one they said "Stay true"
One by one they bled for you
Come in Commander Puna come in from the cold
The sacred fire in your heart has finally taken hold
Let it burn away all suffering, let it burn away all grief
You came to meet your maker, may you rest in peace.
Come in Commander Puna there’s no more fighting to be done.
