May we all see what's changing Without searching for control All around us, we find breathing May we praise all that's alive Can a seed grow without water? May we all reap what we sow May we all hear our calling Ring the voices of the wise We hear the ocean Lift up the mountain

Don't say sorry, don't say sorry for your loss Don't say sorry, for what have I really lost? Are we strangers in this land? Passing like the setting sun, and when the dark sets in our fire will rise again So don't say sorry, don't say sorry for your loss It's like waking up to find you're not alone As the people reconcile their buried wrongs Its alarming how the mirror clears as visions clash and reflects back what I knew, that really I am you You say om nama shivaya, like you were in transition So when your crying for that change recognize that we are forest in the kiln and the water can be lost how the poison often spills, when the mountains turn to dust.

Born of water cleansing powerful healing changing we are.

El Morro 03:54
Look upon the waves as all you've done Formed by the wind and the sun The fields grow and bloom Purged by the fire of the womb So raise me above the crop Harvest my deeds and thoughts A life within, a life without.
6.
Celebrate 02:18
The time has come for us to celebrate, celebrate. With all we are we cannot hesitate, hesitate. To raise the ruined earth through the air, up to the sky. Lay down your swords and wait for rain. They say the war is over. Your Children are coming home. The time has come for us to celebrate, celebrate. With all we are we cannot hesitate, hesitate. To love always and to appreciate The light, the darkness and the sun.

Coydog Den 03:58
Coydog den coydog den How do you stay warm? Followed hallow paw prints through the snow and through the mud Took me to your shelter of metal to rust You've been hiding in the shadows, stomping ivy into trails of string When you howl, do you howl to stay calm? How do you stay warm?

Awake 06:02
Awake, awake The empty climbed upon the hillside and filled their mouths with water, from the creeks of others, until it dried away. The empire stacked their stones and iron upon the grass the trees bent, broke from the pressure, then couldn't grow at all. And we said, "Hey, we're all standing in the same sunlight" Will we draw our lines upon the earth, and trace the shadows of our shade seeking power and Dominion, if turned around then we would see That we're all standing in the same sunlight where we cannot see each other as divided we're all standing in the same sunlight and we'll Listen, Listen, Listen Listen the grass it moves, up through the cracks it grows Listen the rain will fall Listen the creeks will swell
10.
The Loon 04:21
The Loon, sits lightly on a still lake The sky, reflects constellations on the loon's back and the cedar stretches to the light Wind on the tips of the branches tremble in the night The most common life is full of beautiful things Just open your eyes and you will see it Peace is within you, it never leaves. Just open your mind and you will find it.
