We Are Not Separate

we are not, we are not, we are not separate
from the earth, from each other, from the divine
we are one, we are one, we are one together
with the earth, with each other, with the divine

Travelers

*based on wendell berry's poem 'sabbaths 1999 VI'
we are travelers on a journey
headed toward the light that's burning
oh, may we keep on
though it may be bright and blinding
looking back it shows the way we came
may we keep on
(chorus)
let's not tarry, let's keep carrying on
let's not drag our feet, let's keep moving on
rising from the path we're treading
light appears on hidden blessings
oh, may we keep on
through this beauty brightly lit
our faithfulness will guide us forward
oh, may we keep on
keep on keeping on toward the light that's burning strong
keep on, keep on keeping on

Mother God
03:25
|

|
just as a mother cannot
forget the child she has bore
god will not forget us
our bodies come from her bone
her likeness shows in our love
god will not forget us
(chorus)
even in our bleakest hour
the mother's love remains
even when we turn our eyes
the mother's gaze stays
she cannot ignore our pain
her comfort rushes in
our god will not forget us
she holds us close to her chest
sings her song in our ear
god will not forget us
how deep the mother's love for us
how vast beyond all measure
that she would give herself to us
and ask nothing in return

Even After All This Time
00:44
|
|||
|
*based on the hafiz poem
even after all this time (x3)
the sun never says to the earth
'you own me, you own me, you owe me'
look what a love like that does (x3)
it lights up the whole world

Valleys
03:17
|
|||
|
why does the sun go down
why do the cold nights come
why do we suffer so
why does the rain fall on
the downtrodden
when they've had more than enough
(chorus)
we may not know
but what we can do
is walk with each other through the valley
we'll carry, we'll carry, we'll carry
we'll cary each other's burdens
why don't the righteous win
why does hate endure
when we all want love
why don't the just prevail
why do oppressors rule
when we all want peace

God Is Within
04:15
|
|||
|
God is within (x3)
God is within in our very breath
in the love that swells up in our chest
we need not look any further
body, blood and bone
God as human
coming from a woman's womb
to say i'm with you
longing, flesh and skin
God incarnate
becoming just like us
to say it is good
just as close as your body is to your body
God is here
as real as a woman writhing in labor
God is here

Garden
01:38
|
|||
|
what's dead, let it die
prune the branches, make way for life
what's passed, let it go
make room for what's new to grow
what's alive, let it live
tend to it with gentle hands
what's green, let it thrive
water it's roots, watch it bloom
open your heart and pay attention
don't let your garden get over grown and tangled
open your heart and pay attention
don't let your garden wither and lose its vibrance
