I am the goddess
My feet are rooted
Deep within the earth
My head among the stars
My crown the universe
My arms are open wide
To hold eternity
I am the tie that binds
Encircling you and me
I am the goddess
My feet are rooted
Deep within the earth
My head among the stars
My crown the universe
My arms are open wide
To hold eternity
I am the tie that binds
Encircling you and me
Eastern Morning/First breath of the soul
World view forming/Sacred and whole
Wind of knowledge/Simple and wise
Bringer of the lightning/That strikes in our minds
Come to us – be here now
Southern fire/White rays of the sun
Source of will/That always is done
Heat of passion/Longing and need
You who push the Green one/Out of the seed
Come to us – be here now
Western river/Devotee of the moon
Gentle sculptor/Of babes in the womb
Spring of Jubilation/Courage and Tears
Giver of the sweet love/That soothes all our fears
Come to us – be here now
Northern mountain/Body of the Earth
Finite treasure/Of infinite worth
Cave of transformation/Childbirth and death
Suckler of the wild ones/Who curl upon your breast
Come to us – be here now
– Susan Falkenrath Wolf
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.

Bind us as one.
