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.
[by Charlie Murphy]
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]
We are alive, as the Earth is alive,
We have the power, to fight for her freedom.
If we have courage we can be healers,
Like the sun we shall rise.
If we have courage we can be healers,
Like the sun we shall rise.
We are one with the infinite sun
For ever and ever, and ever,
We are one with the infinite sun
For ever and ever, and ever,
Kee a wah tay, lenya, lenya ma ho tay
Hi ah no, hi ah no, hi ah no
Kee a wah tay, lenya, lenya ma ho tay
Hi ah no, hi ah no, hi ah no.

All life comes from the sea.
All life comes from the sea.
All life comes from the sea.
All life comes from the sea.

In migration
A nation of

With wings

We are a people at the full height of our power
This is the place and now is the hour
We are a people at the full height of our power
This is the place and now is the hour
We recognize our sacred worth
We have the power to transform the earth
Born of water
Cleansing, powerful
Healing, changing
We are (or “I am”)
Full moon shining bright
Midnight on the water
Oh Aradia
Diana’s silver daughter
The earth is our mother
We honor her always
The earth is our mother
We honor her always
Always, always
We honor her always
Always, always
We honor her always
