Driftwood Body
04:57
|
|||
|
i saw the water coming down
and i wondered how you got around
the twists and turns
the pulling tides
that are pushing me
from side to side
i'm not afraid
i'm intoxicated
by the way that the waves
crash and crash and crash
over my driftwood body
and i surrender
to the movement of the water
to nothing but a dive in
there's unknowing depths at fingertips
oh but nevermind building a bridge
to this infinite stillness
i'm not afraid
i'm intoxicated
by the way that the waves
crash and crash and crash
over my driftwood body
and i surrender
to the movement of the water
if i was water, what would i do?
but flow on over and rush into you
if i was water, what would i do?
but storm on in and wash over you
if i was water, which i am,
what would i do, what do you i want to do?
but open wide and embrace you

Electric Mud
04:44
|
|||
|
don't you feel the way that i crawl under your skin?
how long will you pretend that i don't exist?
but i will still be by your side up in the sky
and i will still guide the waves and the way
they come and go, ebb and flow, in your veins
what do you become?
you know you're mostly electric mud
and i rule the waters in the seas and in your bodies
i might be a celestial being
but once you were living with me
look to the sky and you might see me smiling
or i'll be in shadow allowing room for new beginnings
what do you become?
you know you're mostly electric mud
and i rule the waters in the seas and in your bodies
and i might be a celestial being
but once you were living with me
so find your way back to the rhythm
find your way back to the dirt
wipe your eyes and see the other realm
who knows you and knows what you're worth
you are natural magic
and i am the moon in you

Respect Thy Thorn
05:21
|
|||
|
i've been waiting for so long to let you in
and now the rose, it blooms
but i never knew how hard it'd be to fall in love
when i'm so used to solitude
if you want a rose
you must respect its thorns
falling in love ain't all about the light
but how together we may face our fears
i've been waiting for so long to let you in
and it may seem that all my dreams have come true
but with you they just begin:
i'm the fool, with one foot off the cliff
and i might be afraid of this
but i know i'm becoming the magician
if you want a rose
you must respect its thorns
falling in love ain't all about the light
but how together we may face our fears
you'll guide me across the bridge
and i'll lead you through the labyrinth
this is my dream
i've brought it into reality
and now we must do the work
of making ourselves whole
it's how we heal
and now the rose it blooms

Walk Like A Fox
06:13
|
|||
|
i feel every blade of grass beneath my feet
i hear all the chirping bugs
they play a symphony for me
go too fast and you might miss
the wonders of the world we are living in
so won't you stop
and walk like a fox?
i hear the waves of the water rippling
i see the river's stones, how they're shimmering
go too fast and you might miss
the wonders of the world we are living in
so won't you stop
and walk like a fox?
1, 2, 3, 4
what are we rushing for?
when we slow down
so does the way the clock's hands go around
1, 2, 3, 4
let the forest lure you in
to the treasure hidden within slowness
go too fast and you might miss
the wonders of the world we are living in
so won't you stop
and walk like a fox?

Whistling Wind
03:03
|
|||
|
it seems that i am rapid
i am rumbling thunder and the whistling wind
but i'm unswerving, i'm enduring
i'm determined by the laws of my inner being
like a star, keeping constant
i'm not lost in space as i circle around the sun
it seems that i am changing
i contract, expand but never come undone
it seems that i am rapid
i am rumbling thunder and the whistling wind
but i'm unswerving, i'm enduring
i'm determined by the laws of my inner being
and it's what we share amidst ourselves
it's keeping us glued together
it's spontaneous affection
affection is essential for relatedness
and i understand how to fit myself into the patterns of things
it seems that i am rapid
i am rumbling thunder and the whistling wind
but i'm unswerving, i'm enduring
i'm determined by the laws of my inner being

Skin Takes Root
03:33
|
|||
|
oh how i melt into you
i lie down on the earth and my skin takes root
oh how i melt into you
and we become,
without knowing the totality of how or what we do
please go and i will follow
breathe and i will fill
vessel now hollow
as we sit still
amidst this shapeshifting chaos
once bound in a cocoon
we call for change
naked before the moon
please go and i will follow
breathe and i will fill
vessel now hollow
as we sit still
amidst this shapeshifting chaos
behind the scenes
there are webs of interwoven knowing
they are showing us the way

Mother May I?
05:32
|
|||
|
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause it seems that there might be a thing or two you wanna say
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause i have words to write the way your body sways and moves
you speak in a tongue some cannot hear
but i hear you loud and clear
'cause i have thoughts and i have heart
and i can't fall asleep until my mother heals
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause it seems that there might be a thing or two you wanna say
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause i have words to write the way your body sways and moves
i feel you in my brains and bones
i hear you in the waves that flow
i drink from your naked breast
your rhythms let my body rest
as you tuck me into a head full of dreams
here is my lullaby, dear mama won't you hear me sing?
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause it seems that there might be a thing or two you wanna say
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause i have words to write the way your body sways and moves
and i want to shout them out
as my feet stomp the ground
and we will hear their echoes ricochet
everywhere you're there
my voice is yours
please let it be heard
my mother, may i speak for you?
'cause it seems that there might be a thing or two you wanna say

Violet Song
05:16

tell me your dreams
you are on your journey
and don't make your friends your enemies
for what you see in jealousy is you trying to get through
so sing your song from your heart
it can't be wrong, so sing your song
and it's okay if it's done before
we're all using the same old chords to let our souls be heard
don't be shy
i don't mind if you sing out of key
it's perfect to me
so speak your truth, and i'll watch you bloom
i know it's hard to do, but i have faith in you
for i know:
art is from the heart of the earth
heart is from the art of the earth
art is from the,
heart is from the,
you are of the earth
so sing your song from your heart
it can't be wrong, so sing your song
and it's okay if it's done before
we're all using the same old chords to let our souls be heard
for it's through our hearts
with the earth
that we weave our art
and heal from the hurt
so dance with the tides
listen to the wind
for it's not just your lines
you are singing

Earth is Sensitive
05:42
|
|||
|
my body is a riverbed
won't you come lay down your head
oh so gently in between my breasts
let's listen to the water rush
to the beat of the drum
that's hidden deep within my chest
the earth, she is sensitive
the earth, she longs to be heard
it's where our healing begins
let's take a breath and listen
my body is a riverbed
won't you come through and shed
your old stones and sediment
and what more can i do
but offer my body to you?
and yet you feast on my blood and bones
and yet you leave me bare and open
i thought you were my children?
let's listen to the water rush
to the beat of the drum
that's hidden deep within my chest
the earth, she is sensitive
the earth, she longs to be heard
it's where our healing begins
let's take a breath and listen

Wolf Cry
05:43
|

|
welcome to this madness
where what we've imagined has
become more valued than the earth on which we stand
welcome to this madness
where we've let be a currency
that poisons our rivers and our seas
won't you let the wild wolves of your words escape?
howl like there is no way for us to lose what's at stake
won't you let the wild wolves of your words escape?
howl like there is no way for us to lose our faith
welcome to this madness
where our ancestral way of healing with the land
has been threatened to put the power
in the oppressor's hands
won't you let the wild wolves of your words escape?
howl like there is no way for us to lose what's at stake
won't you let the wild wolves of your words escape?
howl like there is no way for us to lose our faith
and i know you've got the grief of this earth on your shoulders
though the wisdom of us rooted is so much older
than those who have turned their backs on their mother
so together let's shout our truth and move boulders
and tumble down the structures of those who give orders
yet cannot hear the voices of the earth and her creatures
but not for long
for here we stand
howling at the moon
*wolf cries*

Starling

this story
it's already told
we are watching it unfold
right before our eyes
in time- this moment's disguise
children of the universe
make your way back to your source
your mother she waits up at night
and waits for us to bring the light
so let her know we will arrive
let's sing her a lullaby
you are a star
don't forget who you are
there is a light shining
who came to live in this body
what will you break through?
what is it that you came to do?
children of the universe
make your way back to your source
your mother she waits up at night
and waits for us to bring the light
so let her know we have arrived
let's sing her a lullaby
the sounds we send they are divine
so sing starling into the night
