The Ocean Refuses No River

The ocean refuses no river, no river.
The ocean refuses no river, no river.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

[from a Sufi chant]

My Body is a Living Temple

My body is a living temple of love,
My body is a living temple of love.
My body is the body of the goddess,
My body is the body of the goddess.
My body is the body of the goddess,
My body is the body of the goddess.

Your body is a living temple of love,
Your body is a living temple of love.
Your body is the body of the goddess,
Your body is the body of the goddess.
Your body is the body of the goddess,
Your body is the body of the goddess.

[for men, can replace “goddess” with “horned one.”]

Light is Returning

Light is returning,
Even though this is the darkest hour,
No one can hold
Back the dawn

Let’s keep it burning,
Let’s keep the light of hope alive
Make safe our journey,
Through the storm.

One planet is turning,
Circle on the path around the sun,
Her children urge you,
To come on home.

Come on home, come on home, come on home.

Wearing My Long Wing Feathers

I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly

I circle around, I circle around,
The boundaries of the Earth

I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly

I circle around, I circle around,
The boundaries of the Earth.

I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly
I’m wearing my long wing feathers as I fly

I circle around, I circle around,
The boundaries of the Earth

Higher, higher, higher and higher.
Higher, higher, higher and higher.

[Arapaho Ghost Dance Song]
