Arrow to the Sun

BECKONING

Deep in the heart, there’s a pulse that’s beating
Deep in the heart, there’s a wall crumbling down
Deep in the heart, a river flowing
Beats as a drum, a calling to all x 2

Chorus –
Deep in the heart, hear a beckoning call
Deep in the hearth fire flame lighting all,
Come now come home whahiyeh comma home
Never alone you are never alone

Heart as a drum, pulsing a prayer
Heart as a river, that will find a way
and this a heart, that has always been beating
It is the heart of a lion, conquering fear

Chorus

Heart as a fire, chanting a flame
Burning eternal, and shall always remain
Heart as an eagle, soaring on high
Feathered in a love, with wings open wide

Chorus

AGUA PURA VIDA

Hear a drop come falling on down, straight like an arrow, sky to the ground
Bringing new life, bringing it all around
All around on sweet Mama Earth, bringing new life, giving new birth
Opening the seed, carrying the fruit from the flower
Some people say they can sell you the rain, most people say that they’re going insane
Gathering the gold for your personal gain well, karma come around and a drown you again

In the water, water, the water to survive
Need the water, water, what is keeping us alive
Need the water, water, the water to survive
Pure water, water, Agua Pura Pura Vida !

Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Oshun

Tear drops, fall like a rain, all upon the way to the ocean
and to the sky, the mountain high, glaciers born and some of them die
Deep in her body pure water runs deep, flowing up above and the harvest we reap
This here a song for the waters I weep, how can it be ?
That we’re poisoning the blood that been given to us,
and the water now say that we cannot be trusted
Until we see once again that you poison yourself in the water my friend
You poison your own blood

Chorus

Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Oshun

Every drop, bringing new life, Agua Pura Pura Vida
In every ocean life giving life, Agua Pura Pura Vida
Every drop is a prayer, Agua Pura Pura Vida
Every river, every tear, Agua Pura Pura Vida

Chorus

Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Yemaya Yemaya, Oshun, Oshun

ARROW TO THE SUN

Like an arrow to the Sun on the winds here a singing come
Walk with me now and our hearts they beat as one
Like an arrow to the Sun one heart is a calling come
Walk with me now for we have begun

To warm by the fire of these ancestral burnings
That your Grandfather’s father, carried in his bones x 2

We will not be silent when there are songs to sing
We will not be idle now that there are dreams to bring
Living here upon this Earth, we’re growing like a seed
and the leaders will follow, when the people lead

We will not be silent when there are songs to sing
We will not be idle now that there are dreams to bring
Living here upon this Earth, we’re growing like a seed
Growing stronger, in the ancient wisdom flowing free

Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo
Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo

Drink deep of the water, flowing from your mother
nurturing this life and you can continue on x 2
Like a bird in the winter, flying on the feather
to migrate in the rhythm that breathed us into life
Still we walk in the footsteps, humble to the sacred
Circle of this life to our death and then beyond
We will walk in the footsteps, humble to the sacred
Circle of this life to our death and then beyond

And we can do this, drawing on
the knowledge and the wisdom we move through this
All awake, all awake and you will see and notice
Simply living in a harmony I bow down to this
Ancient wisdom flowing free

Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo
Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo

We will not be silent when there are songs to sing
We will not be silent now that there are dreams to bring
Living here upon this Earth, we’re growing like a seed
and the leaders will follow, when the people lead

We will not be silent when there are songs to sing
We will not be silent now that there are dreams to bring
Living here upon this Earth, we’re growing like a seed
Growing stronger, in the ancient wisdom flowing free

Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo
Ha Yana Yeh, Yana Yeh, Yoh Yo-ee-Yo

BROTHER WOLF

This wound, strangles around my bones,
with a demon that’s born within, but brings me the medicine I hold in these hands
Strong, strong is the pull of this tide, swirling in cycles to feel is to be real
Body of shadow, you can bring me to my knees

In the night, when you come, and in the days when you stay
Show the way, as you go, where it all goes to be washed away x 2

Heart of the darkness I will find my way and grow
Sacred ground within, for the shadow to find a voice
I know, where silent songs are singing me home

All that I am come forth to hear this, roar of a power now transforming
Heart of the darkness you bring me to my knees
Oh brother wolf come now here circling, all of the shadowlands within me
Eyes in the night, I will follow your footsteps home
Brother Wolf how you roam…..

Heart of the darkness I will find my way and grow
Sacred ground within, for the shadow to find a voice
I know, where silent songs are singing me home

All that I am come forth to hear this, howl of a wolf, he cry to the night yes
Heart of the darkness, finds a voice and home
Oh brother wolf come now here circling, all of the shadowlands within me
Eyes in the night, I will follow your footsteps home
Brother Wolf how you roam…..

WEAVE AGAIN

Thread again the broken vow, braided in this beauty now, fibre spun into your crown, weave again
Casting of creations mould, weave again and become whole, tapestry I long to hold the weave again
Fabric of reality, all the times woven in we, stitch again divinty’s weave again
Guide my way through fears and time, cat the stitching threads in rhyme
Into beauty shall I bind this weave again……

Timeless memory, come spin me over land and sea, to hold and be held by thee
These hearts are woven endlessly
Shining light this heart stands tall, burning through the flames of all
That does not serve the highest call, and I am on my way……

As a child I built a wall, around my hearts precious core
The time has come to watch it fall, and weave me once again
Weave these walls to crumble down, no longer shall this heart be bound
I ask the angels come gather round, and weave I believe again…
For how these fears and demons can rage, and even though they built this cage
I know they help me come of age, and guide me on my way
Through the night of burning flames, showing me what shall remain
When all the ashes of my pain I lay upon the ground, lay upon the ground.

And oh this heart is loving, and behold this heart is giving,
As all this heart is dying, to be born again
Unfold this heart in loving, and behold this heart forgiving
As all this heart is living, and weaving whole again
and a life well lived in loving, will weave us whole again.

CIRCLE ROUND

Heartbeat here call the wildfires home,
Circle round in a beacon, from the places that you roam
No more time to be burning, out there on your own
Now the flames a join as one and we can let it be known

That we warm by the fire, as a beacon in this time
We are born as a flame of hope that never dies x 2

Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh
Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh
Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh
Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh

Circle round like a drum, and we sing it from the sky
On the wings of a feather, listen for our calling cry
Down through the ages, and we sing it from the Earth
On the song lines a dancing once again into this birth

We are warm by the fire, as a beacon in this time
We are born as a flame of hope that never dies x 2

Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh x 4

All of the elders calling us to come, come, come
Sing again, bring your daughters bring your sons, sons, sons
Blazing a trail of light here as we burn, burn, burn
With our heartbeat as a beacon we return, turn, turn

And warm by the fire, as a beacon in this time
We are born as a flame of hope that never dies x 2

Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh x 4

All the colours of our people we have one beating heart
Build a bridge of wisdom, illuminate the dark
We will sing this song, circle round a round again
Burning the fire bright for every woman every man

Ya whawh ahayeh, ya hayeh aiyoh x 4

STANDING ON ONE SIDE

Oh Grandfather, won’t you help me sing this song
Oh Grandfather help me move along, move along
With these chain we’re dragging behind our feet
Born in the roots of a white ancestry

Oh Grandfather won’t you share your wisdom now
Oh Grandfather won’t you help us, to gather the children round
These chains and watch them fall to the ground,
Unlock the shackles with the prayers of our sound

Grandfather how you helped the people, finding the food on the land
Grandfather through the hardest seasons carried us in your hand
Oh Grandfather all of the nations once again resound
With a pure heart of healing now come gathering around, gathering around
These chains, and watch them fall, fall, fall to the ground
This pure heart is healing these chains of history,
Fall, fall, fall to the ground.

Oh Grandfather I can see the walls come crumbling crumbling down
Oh Grandfather like a ripple it travels, out across the ground
Oh Grandfather rippling on, crossing the waters now
All the sons and daughters Once again we’re standing proud

The red, the yellow and the black and the white
All of the children standing on one side
The red, the yellow and the black and the white
All of the children standing in the light

See I can see all the people coming and still they come
The brothers and the sisters to the beat of a sacred drum
The heartbeat of the people, coming and still they come
We are the dancing living of the earth, the beat of a sacred drum
Aho Grandfather

Yo weyoq queya yoweh iya, yo weyoq queya yoweh iya
Weyoq queya yoweh iya, ma hey yana ho

Oh Grandfather, won’t you help us sings these songs
Oh Grandfather, help us stay strong to move along
With these prayers singing for humanity, born from the roots of an ancient tree
Holding the flame though the times are dark, all it takes is a one spark
To light up the way for the pathway home, wood bone feather and stone
Light up the way for the pathway home…

The red, the yellow and the black and the white
All of the children standing on one side
The red, the yellow and the black and the white
All of the children standing in the light

Rojo, amarillo, negro, blanco
Rojo, amarillo, negro, blanco

CROW FEET

Many places I call home, but many more my spirit roams
I am boundless and only I choose my limit
To be strong in compassion, true to my action, planting these feet where they walk
On the beauty way ee yeh ah

Through my beak hear this song, see my feathers are strong
And they rise me on the wings of knowing
These crow feet have been walking so long
But this time they fly, this time they fly

And with these feathers I have grown, into wisdom I am sown
Strong like the roots but flowing like a river
And I am thankful for my home, and the path my spirit roams
I am boundless and eternal living spirit yeahaaa

And I am strong in compassion, and true to my action
Planting these feet where they walk, on the beauty way, ee yeh ah

Through my beak hear this song, see my feathers are strong
And they rise me on the wings of knowing
These crow feet have been walking so long
But this time they fly, this time they fly

STONE FLOWS TO WATER

Can you see the homelands my friend, where your ancestors roamed?
Can you taste the sweet colours, skin and a bone?
All creation, stretches out with grace
Born of horizon and shall always embrace

But there’s a tear in the eye of the mother who cried
Yearn for the morrow with a quest inside
Here to awake and the mouths to feed
Growing up strong coming up to breathe
The winds of a mountain high, here in the moment Earth and sky
All be awake come nourish the seed, growing up strong coming up to breathe
Once again, once again, look to the treasure inside never end
Upon these sacred lands that soothe
The marrow of the knowledge that you built within these years

Stone flows to water, and love will melt the fear
Stone flows to water, and love will melt the fear
This I know, this I know

The innocence of a child, still rests behind these eyes
As they turn the vision upwards, bathe it in the skies
These times of tribulation they leave me with no words
But the sight I see in the morning is like the sun has just been born

And he can dry the tears of the mother who cried
Flame of a hope in the world that’s died
One day awake and the seed shall sow
Beauty within coming up to grow
With branches wide, roots to the body to the open sky
I celebrate love over fear, flowing like a river down through these years

Stone flows to water, and love will melt the fear
Stone flows to water, and love will melt the fear
This I know, this I know

And I will hold on for you, I will hold on and forgive
I will hold on for my daughter, I will hold on forever

Flows to water, flows to water, stone flows to water, flows to water
