Earth my Body, Water my Blood
The Earth is our Mother
The Elements
Flowing like a River
Hoof and Horn
This is often alternated with We All Come from the Goddess.
Mother I Feel You
2. Father I see you where the eagles fly,
Spirit’s gonna take us higher and higher
One Planet is Turning
The River is Flowing
We All Come from the Goddess
This is often alternated with Hook and Horn.
We are a Circle
We are Circling
We are an Old Family
2. I am an old woman, I am a wise woman
I am a healer and my soul will never die
3. I am a strong man, I am a righteous man
I am a warrior and my soul will never die
We are One in the Spirit
We are Opening
2. We are opening up, like a lotus flower
brothers and sisters, we are now at the hour
3. We are rising up, like a phoenix from the fire
brothers and sisters, spread your wings and fly higher
We’re a Rainbow
2. I was taught that black was evil,
and I was taught that white was good
But in a Rainbow, made of children,
all the colors are understood – (spoken) and it's all good!
3. Old man Potter, grabbed a rifle,
to protect his apple pie.
But when I handed him a flower,
all he did was ask me why. – why oh why
4. May the circle be unbroken,
by and by Lord, by and by.
And so my brother, roll another;
let's get high, Lord, let's get high.

Mother I Feel You is by a Rainbow brother named Windsong. The rest of these are traditional tunes of unknown authorship. If you know of any more that could be included, send me a file with the words, and another I can use to learn the melody, like an mp3 of a performance or a graphic file with written notes on a staff. Send it as an attachment to an e-mail to bb@bliss-fire.com. – Butterfly Bill |
