about

Baking Bread by Michael Kennedy
This is such a profound and beautiful song by the wonderful Australian songwriter Michael Kennedy. I've always sung it unaccompanied, believing that some pieces need no additions or interpretation. In these quiet days, its become a prayer and a promise - a belief that living simply is possible and is healing for us all.

lyrics

Lately, I've been baking bread
- its such a simple thing.
A welcome for the day without a word
Now my house fills with sweet sweet smells
Simple things can wake a weary world

Lately I've been sewing seeds in my own garden,
They build my bones and taste of sunshine too.
I wish I'd listen hard to my grandfather.
A life of sewing seeds was all he knew

Lately I've been singing songs instead of all the things,
that I should do before the day is through
Its a sad sad thing that we all sing
too few songs before our time is done

Lately I've been watching love come through my own front door
We break bread, sing and dance and eat our fill
Though the dawning day carries you away
The love we make is in these old walls still

So lately, I've been baking bread...
