Chants 2

Gaia(Abby Spinner and J. Magnus Mcbride)

Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia,
Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia.

From the beginning, we call to You
We have called to You
Always you listen, and you respond
With a different face
With a different voice
With a different song

Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia

We are your children, our time has come
Children of our Mother, children of the Drum
Looking towards the future
Learning from the past
Living for this moment and never looking back

Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia

Now is the time and we call again
Your children call again
Come to us
Teach us, touch us
Teach us to be strong
Teach us to be free
Teach us to be wise

Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia,
Gaia, Gaia, Gaia, Gaia

Father Sun

(Traditional Hopi chant with English translation)

Ke-ya wa-te, layn-yo layn-yo mah-hoy-te
Hi-ya-no, hi-ya-no, hi-ya-no

We are one with the infinite Sun
Forever and ever and ever!
We are one with the infinite Sun
Forever and ever and ever!

We are a Circle(Rick Hamouris)

We are a circle, within a circle
With no beginning and never ending
(repeat as chorus)
You hear us sing, you hear us cry
Now hear us call you, Spirits of earth and sky
Within our hearts, there goes a spark
Love and desire, a burning fire
Within our blood, within our tears
There lies the offer, of living water
Tae our fear, take our pain
Take the darkness, into the Earth again
The circle closes, between the worlds
To mark the sacred space,
Where we come face to face

We are One(EarthSpirit Community)
(verse) (descant)
We are one She is our Mother
With the soul She is our soul
Of the Earth Of the Earth
Mother Earth Mother Earth

Love Chant(Mz Imani)

Love be in my body and love be in my heart
Love be in my family to truly help us grow
We are riding a wondrous rainbow into the Source
We are guiding the true destination of the Earth

You are My Family(unknown)


You are my family and you are healing me
You are my family and you are healing me
You are my people, we are one, we are one
You are my people, we are one

with your strength and light.

The Lady's Bransle(Gwyidon Pennderwyn)

Oh she will bring the buds in the Spring
And laugh among the flowers.
In Summer's heat, her kisses are sweet,
She sings in leafy bowers.
She cuts the cane and gathers the grain
When leaves of Fall surround her.
Her bones grow old in Wintery cold,
She wraps her cloak around her.
