Songs

1
I will be gentle with myself, I will love myself
I am a child of a mother, being born each moment



2
She's been waiting, waiting,
She's been waiting so long
She's been waiting for her children
to remember, to return

Blessed be and blessed are the lovers of the lady
Blessed be and blessed are the mother maiden crones
Blessed be and blessed are the ones who dance together
Blessed be and blessed are the ones who dance alone



3
We will never, never lose our way to the well
of her memory
And the power of her living flame
it will rise, it will rise again




4
We are a circle within a circle
with no beginning and never ending




5
We are opening up in sweet surrender
to the numinous love light of the one



6
You can't kill the spi-ir-it
She is like a moun-oun-tain
Old and strong, she goes on & one (& on)



7 (from Meredith)
We are sisters on a journey
singing now as one
Even in the darkest hour
The healing has begun (begun), the healing has begun



8 (by Lisa Thiel)
Sacred ancestors, come to me
Sacred ancestors, who love me (twice)

All my mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and relations too
Who have loved me for always, I keep the light for you




9
The river she is flowing, flowing & grow-ow-ing
The river she is flowing, down to the sea


Mother carry me, your child I will always be
Mother carry me, down to the sea




10
Breathing in , breathing out,
breathing in , breathing out.
I am blooming like a flower.
I am fresh as the dew,
I am solid as a mountain,
I am firm as the earth,
I am free, I am free, I am free.


Breathing in , breathing out,
breathing in , breathing out.
I am water reflecting
what is real what is true
and I feel there is space
deep inside of me,
I am free, I am free I am free.




11
Like a bee my mind is buzzing round the
blue lotus feet of my divine mother, my divine mother



12
There's a river of birds in migration,
a nation of women with wings




13
Spiraling into the center, the center of our wheel (twice)

We are the weavers, we are the woven ones,

We are the dreamers, we are the dream (twice)



14 (from Kara)
Brigid of the mantle, encompass us
Lady of the lambs, protect us
Keeper of the hearth, kindle us
Beneath your mantle gather us
and restore us to memory



15
She changes everything she touches and
everything she touches changes (twice)


She is the weaver and we are the web
She is the needle and we are the thread (twice)

She changes everything she touches and
everything she touches changes (twice)


There is a woman who weaves the night sky
Look and you can see her fingers fly (twice)




16
Woman am I, spirit am I
I have the infinite within my soul
I have no beginning and I have no end
All this I am




17 (apologies to Faron)
By our lives, be we spirit
By our hearts, be we women
By our eyes, be we open
By our hands, be we whole




18
I open my eyes to you, I open my heart to you
Together we raise our voice to the sun
Together we are joining our loving hearts as one




19
Carry it home to your children, carry it out in the street
Carry it on to the ones you love, onto the ones you meet
Carry it light on your shoulder(s), carry it deep in your soul
For we have been blessed with magic, and the magic will make us whole
