Before the Moon
01:06
|

|
I have roots I have roots
Deeper than this island
Deeper than the sea
Older than the raising of the lands
I go back, I go back into the dark
Into the dark I go
Before the moon I was
Before the moon I was
No one knows, no one can say what I am
Before the moon I was
Before the moon I was
Who dares ask questions of the dark

Your heart knows the way home
Your heart knows the way home
Listen, the birds are singing
Singing their freedom

Water of Life

Water of Life
Blessed Starlight
Journey from Death to New Life
Fountain of compassion
freedom from fear
We come to the water
We come to find peace
Fountain of Justice
Free all our Hate
We come to the water
We come now to love
Fountain of Mercy
Bind all of our Wounds
We come to the water
We come to be Healed
Fountain of our Future
Seek out our Pain
We come to the water
We come to be Whole
Fountain of Life
Seek out our Thirst
We come to the water
We come now to Live
Fountain of Mission
Calling our Name
We come to the water
We come now to serve
This verse was left out as we didn’t resonate with the abilist language:
Fountain of Light
New Sight for the Blind
We come to the Waters
We come now to See

When we are Gone
04:06
|
|||
|
When we are gone they will remain
The wind and the rock, the fire and rain
They will remain when we return
And, the wind will blow and the fire will burn

You are the Tide
03:24
|
|||
|
You are the Tide
Rolling in and out
Compelled by the depth of this roundabout
Of life and what lies beyond
Will carry the echo of your song

Awakening
02:36
|
|||
|
As your tears roll over that wounded place
May they wash away your hurts and free your heart
I am coming home, I am coming home
This body now a meadow
Gentle my love

I wanna die happy, so i don't wanna die now
Don't want this to be the last taste in my mouth
I wanna go down singing hallelu
For the gift of this star dust my soul's passin' through
I wanna die knowing the children I'll raise
If only to live to see such a day
I want to see my mama with a child of my own
Just to savor the comforts of something like home
But I don't want this no, no
I don't want this no, no
I wanna die faithful that we did all that we could
That we didn't do anything just 'cause we should
I wanna go out the way that I came
As bare and unbroken as I wish we'd remain
I wanna die knowing the pain I've begotten
And let any hope in regrets be forgotten
I want this tree to fall in a forest that hears
My last breath and knows they've got nothing to fear

Song for Rootsie
03:05
|
|||
|
And, we’re all here together
Whether in spirit, body or mind
The wind she cries, the wind she cries
Just as wine gets sweeter if you give it a little time
We’ll be fine, we’ll be fine
Wound loves to heal
And death has no hold
On spins the wheel as we weather the storm
And, we all dance the tightrope
Between death and life
Death and life, death and life
And when friends and lovers leave us
To taste the divine toast the sky toast the sky
Ash to ashes
And tears into clouds
On spins the wheel as we gather around
Gather around

Oh where will I go from here
I will go to a place called home
Oh where will I go from here
I will go to a place called home
Everywhere I go is home
When I hold you in my heart
Oh, everywhere is home when I hold you

Land on Shore
03:34
|
|||
|
Siblings now our meeting is over
And surely we must part
And if we never see you again, we’ll hold you in our hearts
We will land on that shore
We will land on that shore
We will land on that shore
And we’ll sing forever more

Life is a River
03:11
|
|||
|
Life is a river flowing towards the ocean
And, we are the water flowing through life
Holy River, healing ocean
Flowing water, flowing through life

We are Sending you Light
03:30
|
|||
|
I am sending you light
To heal you, to hold you
I am sending you light
To hold you in love

To Go in the Dark
01:45
|
|||
|
To go in the dark with the light is to know the light
To know dark go dark go without sight
And find that the dark too blooms and sings
And is traveled by dark feet and dark wings

God Sends the Wound

God sends the wound
God is the wound
God is wounded
God heals the wound

Mama's Prayer
05:53

Relax, breathe, surrender, believe.
Right here and right now
To my all knowing heart, I take a bow
Trusting my inner guide
All I have been seeking lives inside.
As I relax, breathe, surrender, believe.
You are the most beloved child
Of your Mother Divine
You are the most sacred child
Of your Father Divine.
Thank you for this precious life
The sweetest gift
Thank you for this precious life
I ask for grace, I ask for grace.
As I relax, breathe, surrender, believe.
Love is you are love is you are love…
Let the waters of love wash over me
Let the fires of passion consume me
Let the winds of change carry me
And let the earth, let her hold and nurture me.
As I relax, breathe, surrender, believe.
Yes I believe.
My love, my love, my love, I bow to You…

Greet the Robin

The biggest shame in living
Is forgetting I am dying
I hate to say it but I wake up sometimes and forget that I am living
It’s as if I have already died
And I hate to say it but I move through life sometimes
In the trance of the living
It’s as if I am not alive
And every step I take from this place
I take for granted
When I learned you weren’t walking this earth with us
That’s when I felt my feet the loudest
And every breath I take from this place
I take in vein
Of each ancestor that made it so
Of the violet and the tree frog and the freshly fallen snow
And the biggest gift in living
Is remembering I am dying
To feel the ache of the hardwood
To smell the dry dirt to greet the robin
