Warrior woman, woman, speak Your heart, your heart and speak Your mind, your mind and free Free us all, free us all Underneath the ground stirs the ancient sound And I'm bending down to listen Bending down to listen Her voice is mine and I'm moving in time Her voice is mine and I'm moving in time Her voice is mine... Blue night of nights, reaching to find The story unfolds, turning to gold So I'll read it in the swaying grass, wind circling past Then release it to the hungry ocean of all that has ever been Then release it to the hungry ocean of all that has ever been Underneath the ground, the revolution turns round Passing ages of truth lost and found Ceaseless cycles of wake up calls Ceaseless cycles of rise and fall Rising, falling away Rising, falling away Rising, falling... away... Blue night of nights, reaching to find The story unfolds, turning to gold So I'll read it in the swaying grass, wind circling past Then release it to the hungry ocean of all that has ever been Then release it to the hungry ocean of all that has ever been Then release it to the hungry ocean Of all that has ever been

Prayer Smoke 04:50
In time, these tides will re-arrange everything Oh how I see it now What side of this wave will we be wandering Onto, Into, so far now we have gone through worlds of movement and change sung on into this new taste So far I'm alive, and all right the story is so right on... For that I thank you... Drama is life is song is flight re-birth today and open up this space how I will now be the place that I wish to find ... With some of this prayer smoke signal aloft into the air as the plant spirit sends embers burning purge me let I be free unbound I pray release Incinerate these fears for the health is so much greater than just this physical state tuned into to love life lived in an integrated way you please me with your flames and gaze remind me you of my simple little state connecting me to the grandest of life in my very own heart space Let it all be this beautiful song that the lives of angels and spirits and light first sung into me the very first time I opened up and began to believe this life is death is movement through the depths this song creator sung weaving sound through form building up a space from an excess of its own grace For that, I thank you

Medicine, calling me Medicine, I am ready to receive Many walk many paths Many roads leading home Many roads leading home So oh let's go there Oh let's go there To the kingdom inside And walk with grace into the dawn Look in her eyes, don't be surprised to find That she cries for the innocent But oh we have a choice Oh we have a voice to speak Of what we've seen and where we've been And where we'd like to go So it begins with me, open my mouth to speak For our freedom And it's no secret, I'm not hiding it I want you to break your chains Break your chains, break your chains Ahh, ahh.... And walk with grace into the dawn Look in his eyes, look in his eyes to find That he is the embodiment of the ages Afraid to be a man cause he can't stand To be dominant over woman So give thanks and praise for the sensitive man Give thanks for the space to feel And it's no secret, I'm not hiding it I want you to break your chains Break your chains, break your chains Ahh, ahh.... And walk with grace into the dawn I come here not to fly I've come to walk on the ground And feel the earth under my feet And feel it move, move Gravity, density, it's holy So I bless this body and all that it wants to do It wants to come close to you, it wants to know you Deep inside I know, I know my light is my identity My power and my strength, ahh And it's no secret, I'm not hiding it I want you to break your chains Break your chains, break your chains Ahh, ahh.... And walk with grace into the dawn

Faces 06:07
What if, today I could see every act of grace What if, today I could see that God has a face So many faces So many faces And I know that there's hope in this face the human hero in the compassionate heart that shines right through the dark and It fills up the holes giving us a new place to start What if we make a change today what if we found our TRUE POTENTIAL from the freeze to the thaw its just one big delicate cycle

Letting go of what once had its hold over me I'm shakin up the dust, colorin in the lines And I'll have a good time doin it, breathing all up up up into it Giving my thanks where it's due In the heart of all, in the heart of you Giving my thanks where it's due In the heart of all, in the heart of you Feeling into this body, it's talking to me, talking to me, and it says I wanna breathe deep, and I will live this life fully Love wanna move wanna be, wanna love wanna move wanna be... Moving forward, find Leaving trails behind In this lineage of light I am a blackbird taking flight And I am a white bird taking flight And when we embrace the new day Light overflowing, bathe in the sun ray And when it washes all clean It is then I will see, see in a clear way Opening our collective eye Prying loose what keeps us from the truth Giving my thanks where it's due In the heart of all, in the heart of you Giving my thanks where it's due In the heart of all, in the heart of you Love wanna move wanna be, wanna love wanna move wanna be... Moving forward, find Leaving trails behind In this lineage of light I am a blackbird taking flight And I am a white bird taking flight And I am a red bird taking flight And I am a blue bird taking flight

The Void 05:55
I then chase Into the deep, sink in your teeth Into the deep, sink in your teeth Until it bleeds from its bones Then take a drink of marrow Of marrow Of marrow How do I hold this absence, this space? Wide open, in a solid state Empty yet full, full of grace I then chase Holy is the wine that is the blood of ancient mist I drink the magic down, first in gulps, then in sips You see, I see, this potency like an entity Gathering first in ponds then the periphery And now this vision is flooded, and all that I can see I then chase Into the deep, sink in your teeth Into the deep, sink in your teeth Until it bleeds from its bones Then take a drink of marrow Of marrow Of marrow

Fountain 06:37
Sudden storming the psyche Falling illusion, splintering vision There is a softness under the armor There is a sweetness beyond the harbor But where can we feel this in a world that's been hardened? Where is the realness? Where is the garden? So drink up the soul, becoming whole Undulating tides, moving inside And the volcano is blowing up ashes And the flooding is taking our village And the corporate mind is taking our village So what is the medicine to cure the sickness? What is the purpose for all the darkness? There is a spirit beyond all matter Free-forming life force, vibrating center There is a pulsing sacred heart beating In the eye of the storm And there are many people praying In many small circles, making big movement And I am as old as stone faces in mountains I am the inner wellspring and fountain And I am as old as stone faces in mountains I am the inner wellspring and fountain So drink up the soul, becoming whole Undulating tides, moving inside So drink up the soul, becoming whole Undulating tides, moving inside And I am as old as stone faces in mountains I am the inner wellspring and fountain And I am as old as stone faces in mountains I am the inner wellspring and fountain

Gravity 09:06
I am Love Giving Freely I am echoes of starlight spoken through the deep and dark shadows  of space  walking with grace sometimes stumbling still walking full being the pull the gravity my work is my art my time is my heart beating rhythmically in perfect symmetry  yet sometimes stumbling still walking full being the pull the gravity You inspire me to bring the higher me to believe impossible things astounding realities this life, this love the deepest potential of you and me collectively

The Dock 04:43
In the mind I don't have time to sit and watch you grow But your speaking hills are calling me into my body And your talking mountains, there is an ancient wisdom And your conscious sea is looking into me and singing sweetly Songs, these songs Songs, these songs Can't pretend to know the answers, questions only lead me deeper Maybe truth is to be found in the asking, in the wondering why All I know is when I slow down to breathe and receive the blessing It's like she hears me, then starts talking, whispering in my ear These songs, these songs These songs, these songs Feed and inform me Speak, I am listening I feel you are thriving Beneath our forgetting Beneath our forgetting Beneath our forgetting Beneath our forgetting... All I know is when I slow down to breathe and receive the blessing It's like she hears me, then starts talking, whispering in my ear
