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

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

Back to the wild

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

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

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
