Forgive 03:39
Memories that have been Haunted by shadows cast Creeping along my skin Running from a knotted past In circles I was chained To the stories that gave me form Safe within the pain Wrapped in this victim uniform The roles that we played Mother-sister-child Truth and promise veiled Waiting to be reconciled One step forward ten steps back Weighted by my heavy pack There’s only one place to go The altar of forgiveness so I lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I I forgive, forgive, forgive I feel my joy wither Dampened by a darkened cloud The taste in my mouth is bitter When the rage longs to scream out loud Free me from this barricade I must be more than this I got down on my knees and prayed There’s something that’s amiss I’m tired of these sleepless nights Longing for some peace I’m ready to give up the fight Praying for release One step forward ten steps back Weighted by my heavy pack There’s only one place to go The altar of forgiveness so I lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I I forgive, forgive, forgive I forgive my mother, I forgive my father I forgive my sisters I forgive my brothers, I forgive my lovers, I forgive my ancestors I forgive the politicians, I forgive the ones who’ve given us all the illusions I forgive the depression, I forgive the aggression, I forgive myself I forgive One step forward ten steps back Weighted by my heavy pack There’s only one place to go The altar of forgiveness so I lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I, Lay down my burdens I I forgive, forgive, forgive

Dark moon 03:55
In the dark of the moon, in the dark of the moon There`s a li-i-i-i-ght, there`s a li-i-i-i-ght, In the dark of the moon, there`s a light shining , there`s a light reminding us back home, back home In the dark of the moon In the dark of the moon In the da-a-a-a-rk , in the da-a-a-a-rk, in the da-a-a-a-rk, in the da-a-a-a-rk There`s a light shining , there`s a light reminding us back home In the dark of the moon we see our reflection To align with all 7 directions, In the south, we shed and release In the west, meet the shadow and the beast, In the north, we give thanks and move forth to the east See the vision we are piece of the whole We are part of the soul of the one cosmic life force The one true divine source All is within All is within All is within The dark of the moon In the da-a-a-a-rk, in the da-a-a-a-rk, in the da-a-a-a-rk, in the da-a-a-a-rk.... In the dark, there`s a light shining, in the dark of the moon , in the dark moon

One tribe 04:53
One path, one choice One source, one voice One tribe, one life One circle to unite One sun one moon One time a flower blooms One love one heart One message to impart One medicine one truth, one breath this is our food One tribe one life, one we are ONE, ONE, ONE, ONE One two three four open your body, open the door One five seven eight, dare to live don’t hesitate One three six nine be the channel for the divine One ten six thirteen listen to the space between One twelve and twenty five the circle is stronger as one tribe One tribe one life, one we are ONE, ONE, ONE, ONE Many cultures, one people Many colours, all equal Many textures, one skin Many endings, one place to begin Many languages, one sound Many countries, one ground Many gods, one source Many rivers, one course Flowing down to the sea Coming together in unity ONE, ONE, ONE, ONE, We are One.

Holy whole 04:33
Take me to my gate and let me in The castle that I seek is within The bridge is old and cracked and falling away From all the times that I’ve been led astray Searching for completion in your gaze Lost in the shadows of our maze ‘Cause you are not, are not my other half We happen to walk along the same path Hand in hand we walk and we advance Riding the ups and downs as we dance To remember That we are whole Holy whole, Holy whole, Holy whole Je m’engage à marcher ce chemin À être présente, entière, ma main dans ma main Je m’engage à être à l’écoute De mes peines, mes joies, mes rires et mes doutes Je m’engage à t’aimer comme je m’aime À acceuilir tes ombres comme les miennes Car tu n’est pas, n’est pas mon autre moitié Tu est là pour me rappeler To remember We are whole Holy whole, Holy whole, Holy whole, Holy whole Holy mirrors we see clearer when we see through the eyes of the heart Heart is beating time is fleeting space is leaving us to be Sinking into holy centres I remember who we are Holy mirrors we see clearer when we feel the ground

In her arms 05:02
In the arms of our mother We are home Home In this body temple, We take residence In an ancient remembrance That resonates in the marrow of our bones Through her moans, through her cries The earth mother is calling us to be fully alive To receive the blessing of this incarnation So open your imagination And feel fibres of light growing down your legs, down through your feet Roots growing so deep, ready to meet The earth at her core centre In these infinite nerve connections, the earth mother provides us with protection and security To welcome the space to fully embrace our soul’s innocent purity, As we humbly learn to live and express through the gateway of this physical form To be born, again and again in the arms of our mother In the arms of our mother, We are home For as we listen and feel, Into what our bodies need to heal, We uproot the weeds, Of doubt, fear and greed, To know truly what the earth mother needs. We cleanse the land, We create space on this earth to plant new seeds, to plant trees, forests, flowers of pure ancestral wisdom, for our great grandchildren’s children to live from. So their inner vision can shine in freedom, to experience this luscious landscape of mother’s queendom. Again and again, releasing to reclaim this ancient source of power To come back to this rawness, the pure awe and bliss The innocence of a child in the arms of her mother In the arms of our mother, we are home

Fire light me up Water fill my cup Air breathe me in Earth ground within Ether hold the space To open up to grace Home here we come Back to the one Come home my child Back to the wild Fire spark the flame Water cleanse the pain Air blow away Earth stop and stay Ether give me space To open up to grace Home here we come Back to the one Come home my child Back to the wild Back to the wild back to the wild back to the wild come my child Back to the wild

Feel you 04:05
Watching the waves crash back to shore I'm waiting for you, would you open that door? I'm leavin’ tomorrow but will my heart stay? I want you beside me, would you take me that way? Prayin’ to the stars up above Losing control when push comes to shove Wonder if you feel me the way that I feel you Watching the moon rising up in the sky Suspended in silence when you didn’t say goodbye This moment melts into desire, immersed in ocean’s kiss I still taste your fire on my salty lips Wonder if you feel me the way that I feel you

Femme 04:56
Femme, Femme, calme ton esprit. Puise dans ton cœur, une source infinie. Écoute ton corps, un temple qui est nourrit, Par la terre et le ciel, deux forces unis. Femme, Femme, aie confiance en toi Ton pouvoir est ton guide, ta force est ton droit. Chaque pas que tu prends conscience est un choix, De t’ouvrir à l’inconnu, au mystère, à la voie. Ton amour, ta grâce, ta beauté et ta profondeur, Sont tes guides, tes alliés, pour ouvrir ton cœur. Qui partage sagesse, compassion, et douceur, Avec tes relations, tes frères et tes sœurs. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi aller Dans le flow de la vie, les montagnes et les vallées. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi emportée, Par les ailes de ton coeur, la mer et les marées Sœurs unis, sans comparaison, Pour se soutenir sur le chemin, à travers les saisons. Plus de jalousie, jeux de pouvoir, de compétition, Un cercle de partage, d’écoute, et de guérison Un espace sécuritaire, où tout est permit, Un espace de reflet, guidé par l’esprit. Femme, Femme, surtout n’ait pas peur, De partager la tristesse de ton enfant intérieur. Femme, petite fille, n’ait pas peur d’être vue, Accepté dans ta vulnérabilité, la puissance d’être nue. Est-tu authentique, transparente, dans tes intentions? Est-tu maître de ta réalité, ou esclave de tes illusions? Observe tes croyances, sont-elles limitatives? Quels sont les endroits en toi, où tu deviens fugitive? Rien ne sert, de te cacher ou d’en fuir, Vaut mieux te poser, et prendre le temps pour te nourrir. Connecte avec tes besoins, tes rêves, tes passions, Et là tu trouveras ta voile, ton vent et ton aviron. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi aller Dans le flow de la vie, les montagnes et les vallées. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi emportée, Par les ailes de ton coeur, la mer et les marées Être Femme c’est suivre les cycles naturels, De lumière et noirceur, de se voir toujours belle. Belle dans le chaos, les émotions et insécurités, Belle dans la force, la joie et la clarté. Belle dans le miroir quand t’es en train de te demander. Belle dans le quotidien, dans ta simplicité. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi aller Dans le flow de la vie, les montagnes et les vallées. Femme, Femme, laisse-toi emportée, Par les ailes de ton coeur, la mer et les marées

Go on 04:09
You wanna keep it light, i`m to find my sight and make it through the darkest night You say you’re needing space, can’t see me face to face, why keep writing to me? There`s magic here but you are there i don`t know if you really care or are you just playing games with me? I can`t hide what`s inside, only showing you what you want to see I am ready, ready, ready to be seen And if you can`t see all of me then I`ll go on my way ,my way , my way Go on, go on, go on my way my way Go on, go on, go on your way your way We’ll go on, go on, go on our way our way And we'll go on, go on, go on our way our way our way You wanna be good alone, make it on your own that`s a noble thing I admit I should probably do the same heal the past and the pain I would still jump in ‘Cause the impulse is to embrace, to dive in and to taste the potential of what this could be But life is teaching me to face reality That what is, is not what could be So i’ll go on, go on, go on my way my way Go on, go on, go on your way your way We’ll go on, go on, go on our way our way And we'll go on, go on, go on our way our way our way Go on our way But i want you stay Still you’ll go on your way And i’ll go on my way And we’ll go on our way
