The moon, the moon, the moon The moon in all her fullness Luminous mystery, darkness and light The moon, the moon, the moon The moon in all her fullness Maiden Blood, Mother Blood, Wise Blood of life Turning and turning, reflecting sunlight Changing and changing mirroring the night Turning and turning, tide after tide Changing and changing, moon time inside Turning and turning, circling the earth Changing and changing life, death, rebirth Turning and turning the wheel of the year Changing and changing, transmuting our fear.
2.	Pray Like a Woman 04:53	lyrics	buy track
Pray, pray like a woman Pray, pray like a woman Everyday, hey, hey pray like a woman In every way, pray like a woman From the breast of the Mother To the blood of our birth In the song of pleasure From the lovers of the Earth In the hour of our longing, Each flowering start In our tears, in our laughter Grow the gardens of the heart In the body of the Goddess we shall dance and sing In the body of the Goddess love is circling, circling Everything . . . spread your wings.
3.	Mama Lion 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Mama lion, mama lion, Mama lion, mama lion, Mane white as snow, eyes clear and keen, mirror of a knowing soul. Mama lion, mama lion Mama lion, mama lion Voice deep and low, eyes clear and keen, mirror of a knowing soul. A woman of time, a woman of change Women of wisdom we have many names We bear the children of the Earth, For better or worse, Protect and teach, of life's joy, of life's curse, For that's the way Of a mama lion, mama lion, Mama lion, mama lion, Mane white as snow, eyes clear and keen, mirror of a knowing soul. A woman of mind, a woman of wit Workin' in the man's world in the times when it didn't seem fit She learned her way around and believe me when challenged she will hold her ground, hold her ground. 'Cause she's a mama lion, mama lion, Mama lion, mama lion Mane white as snow, eyes clear and keen, mirror of a knowing soul. Mama lion, mama lion Mama lion, mama lion Voice deep and low, eyes clear and keen, mirror of a knowing soul. Mama lion, mama lion . . .

I've gotta rainbow round my shoulders . . . Sun and rain, oh joy and pain I've gotta rainbow round my heart . . . Sun and rain. I've gotta rainbow round my hands Rainbow ribbons right here in my hands Rainbow colors all across the land Every child, woman and man. Rainbow color shining in your eyes Beauty rainbow circling the sky Rainbow colors shining in your eyes Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry.

How could anyone ever tell you You were anything less than beautiful How could anyone ever tell you You were less than whole How could anyone ever notice That your loving is a miracle How deeply you're connected to my soul.

I will be gentle with myself I will love myself I am a child of the universe Being born each moment
7.	Oh Baby of Mine 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Oh, baby of mine, oh baby of mine I sing to your soul, our hearts intertwine. Oh child of my blood, oh child of my bone I sing to your soul, I welcome you home. I give you sun, I grant you the moon The spirit has called you forth from my womb. Oh rest in my arms, oh rest in my arms I'll guard you from fear and keep you from harm. The seasons will come, the seasons will go With you I become much more than I know. I teach you the earth, you teach me the sky Together our pain shall pass by and by. If we surrender to life's full embrace Then we shall receive the blessings of grace. No matter what way your life shall unfold I'll treasure your love more precious than gold. Oh baby of mine, oh baby of mine I sing to your soul, our hearts intertwine.
8.	Lunation 05:19	lyrics	buy track
Lay lay lay lay lay . . . We shall dance beneath the moon in all her faces Sing to Grandmother Moon in all her graces At the New Moon dark's dawning Crescent quickens to the light There's the First Quarter balance Building darkness and light So when Gibbous Moon is budding to a dominance of light Then the Full Moon shall peak in all her brightness Flowering, illuminating brightness Carry on Disseminating for the fruit must be fulfilled In the stirring of the darkness The Last Quarter Moon she will Break it down to let it go As the darkness takes her fill So the Balsamic Moon her wisdom can distill That the seeds of future vision be instilled Dream again through winter's darkness Birthing seeds of future's past Healing serpent sheds an old skin The new struggles free at last With the warming of the springtime Growth is coming full and fast While the truth of the light keeps advancing Toward the summer dawn So full of life and dancing Consummation clearly shining Now a sharing time begins Reap the wisdom of the season Feel the changing autumn wind Turn around to wane and whither As the blood moon pulls within Crone shall seed the soul of future generations Release the truth and trust the dark's creation.
9.	Follow The River Home 04:22	lyrics	buy track
There's a river of birds in migration, A nation of women with wings There's a river of birds in migration, A nation of children who sing There's a river of birds in migration, A nation of souls who bring Poetry and prophecy Ancient cedar, hazelnut tree Apple bough and silver bells Weaving the stories of unity Following, following the river home I'm following the river home O'er misty mountain, cutting through stone I'm following the river home Original blessing, wi-na-de-ya-ho I'm following the river home. Following, following the river home I'm following the river home Ancestor dreams, a journey of soul We're singing the salmon back home We're singing the salmon back home Hey ya! Skookumchuck Clear strong water's flowing Forest, river, ocean tide Oh let salmon live Oh let wisdom live Following, following the river home We're following the river home Waters of life, heart of the trees We're singing our beauty back home Mother nature - wild and free We're singing our beauty back home Following, following the river home I'm following the river home Earth and Sun, Moon and Stars I'm following the river home.

You and I on a Small green island - Spinning round and round in space And the small green island is a living being And we the living proof of her grace.
11.	Now I Walk in Beauty 02:55	lyrics	buy track
Now I walk in beauty Beauty is before me Beauty is behind me Above and below me.
12.	Ancestors 04:48	lyrics	buy track
As I look out to the night sky, As I sing out to the sea As I walk upon the good Earth, I hear your voice in me There's a Trail of Tears I hear of Where so many of you died The mending of the Great Hoop Through the healing of our lives I will listen to the four winds Light the wings of truth to fly Touch the ancient trees of giving Walk in beauty by and by There's a body burned to ashes Yet the song it will survive How you cannot kill the spirit And the Goddess is alive I will take the healing waters Drink them long and deep inside Like a river flowing homeward To my sister, brother kind Ho! Grandmother Ho! Grandfather Heal our hearts, oh heal our wounds For the seed of life, The warmth of sun The blood mysteries of the moon There's a love entwines around us Oh let our violence end For the generations yet to come Each relation as a friend You must take care of the children Feed their bodies and their souls Remember life is sacred You're connected and you're whole From the music of a whale bone Changing blackbird in disguise Sounds of breathing when you are born To the last breath when you die As I look out to the night sky As I sing out to the sea As I walk upon the good Earth I hear your voice in me.
