CIRCLE WITHIN A CIRCLE
(Original verse and music by Richard Hamouris, other verses by Starhawk)
We are a circle, within a circle
With no beginning and never ending
Sister, brother, take my hand
When we join together we can heal the land
Hold on, hold on,
Hold the vision that’s being born
RIVER OF LIFE SONG
(Starhawk)
BASE: A O O A
And our hands remember how to spin
We spin freedom on the rising wind
We spin threads of life, cords of fate
We spin love into a river that can overcome hate
We spin justice burning like a flaming star
We spin peace into a river that can overcome war
And if you want to know where true power lies,
Turn and look into each other’s eyes
Break the chains that have kept us bound
Weave a web to bring the monster down
In the face of truth, no lie can stand
Weave the vision, strand by strand
We are sweet water, we are the seed
We are the storm wind to blow away greed
We are the new world we bring to birth
A river rising to reclaim the earth
(Other chants to the same tune☺
No army can hold back a thought
No fence can change the sea,
The earth cannot be sold or bought,
All life shall be free.
What serves life will stand
What does not will fall
The power is in our hands
Love changes all
The spider spins, and empires fall,
She weaves a web to link us all,
A shining thread of colors bright,
A lifeline in the darkest night,
THE WATER IS DEEP
(Starhawk and Sinnerjee)
The water is deep,
The rapids are strong
We’re caught in the current,
We don’t have long
So pull for your lives,
The change is near
Pull together,
Love is stronger than fear
RISING OF THE MOON
(Starhawk)
We are the rising of the moon,
We are the shifting of the ground,
We are the seed that takes root,
When we bring the fortress down
ELEMENTS CHANT
(unknown)
Earth my body,
Water my blood,
Air my breath and
Fire my spirit
Tierra mi cuerpo
Agua mi sangre
Aire mi aliento y
Fuego mi espiritu.
HUMBLE YOURSELF
(unknown)
Humble yourself in the arms of the wild,
You gotta lay down low and
Humble yourself in the arms of the wild,
You gotta ask her what she knows and
We will lift each other up,
Highier and higher
We will lift each other up,
Higher and higher.
