It is your gift to walk the earth
With every step you must remember this
She was born in a storm of sacred fire
With loves direction divine perfection stirred the elements to form
this paradise
Gaea lives
She feels us move across her skin
With every step we take we make an impact which one will it be
we must choose to give respect to the one we owe our lives to
or keep on taking without remaking til there's nothing left
it's in our hands
If Gaea lives
Gaea Lives
Give love to the earth everybody can one hand on your heart the other on the land

We are both creatures of the sky, and animals
A cord connecting to Mother Earth
A mind reflecting the Universe
We're told a thousand different lies of separation
That Nature is outside, but not within
That somehow we're immune to the changes we bring
But Nature is both Spirit and skin
A balance fine as a butterfly's wing
Break through the labyrinth of lies and realize
That we're not the pinnacle of Life, the Grand Design
That we're not the winners of the prize of dominion over
Time now to open up our eyes and reawaken
A storm is on the rise
It's time to see
We must listen to the cries
Of the Earth, our Mother.
For Nature is both Spirit and skin
A balance fine as a butterfly's wing
Nature is both Spirit and skin
A balance fine as a butterfly's wing

Three minutes to Midnight.
Hold your loved ones close and tight.
Watch the stars and hold the light
burning in your heart.
Countdown in progress.
Live your life and kill the stress,
speculation's blazing guest
'til the whole thing comes apart.
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time 'til Doomsday comes?
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time?
Too young to know better,
old enough to stand and fight.
Watch the stars and hold the light
'til it swallows up the sun.
Got it down to a science.
Destination: recompense.
Is there any common sense in
counting down to one?
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time 'til Doomsday comes?
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time?
It's not enough to see; it's not enough to believe.
Keep your eyes wide open, oh,
it's not enough to see; it's not enough to believe.
It's not enough to chase these dreams of peace.
If nothing changes, nothing grows,
no rotted towers overthrown.
It's not enough to see. It's not enough to believe.
It's not enough to chase these dreams, so
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time 'til Doomsday comes?
Hold me 'til it's over.
How much time?
How much time?
How much time?
How much time?
Three minutes to Midnight.
Hold your loved ones close and tight.
Watch the stars and hold the light
burning in your heart.

Bekah Kelso - Hour Glass

Mother calling, voice of the river
Stardust child stand and deliver her charge
They're making it hard to hear
One descendent, future ancestor
Stack the decks, the debts your successor will pay
Measure it all in tears
Oooh, hourglass
one grain slips away
Did you give or hide away
Oooh, while it lasts
one more breath to take
song to give, chance to make
it right
Crawling toward the light
Always late we're chasing white rabbits
Feast of fortunes, fame and bad habits
Delay the consequence
Slow return of what we have taken
Sleepy eyes, the people awaken
to make the recompense
Oooh, hourglass
one grain slips away
did you give or hide away
Oooh, while it lasts
one more breath to take
song to give, chance to make
it right
Crawling toward the light
When the seas wash the shores away
Feel it
See the woods leveled in a day
Feel it
Hear the howl slowly fadeaway
Heal it
Oooh, hourglass
one grain slips away
did you give or hide away
Oooh, while it lasts
one more breath to take
song to give, chance to make
it right
Crawling toward the light

Tuatha Dea - Green

Fill your lungs (while there's time) Drink your fill
Feel her heat
Grow warmer still
What ya gonna do when the well runs dry
And you bite the hand that feeds
When your running out of borrowed time
Leave it to The Man to shake the world down
And bleed her till she screams
Don't you know there's just so much to go round
Gonna need a little GREEN
Guess we'll watch it all Just melt away
All hopes and dreams Like trees and streams
Just fade to Grey
So what ya gonna leave behind
From Sea to oily Sea
Don't nobody got no alibi
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Ain't we all to blind to see
Be a cryin damn shame. Aint no one else to blame
Better save a little GREEN
So here we stand (can't we take a stand) Before the fall
And it's all for one and one for all
Or not at all
What ya gonna do when it falls down
And there's no more GREEN to need
Don't put your faith in Father Time
Cause Dear O'l Mother Nature's gotta plan
And shes dyin to be seen
All we gotta do is just sow a seed or two
And We'll reap a little GREEN
(I'm Lookin Through) GREEN Eyes
For GREEN Dreams
(We've got the) GREEN Light
To Live GREEN

If there’s life out in the stars,
Do they turn their eyes to ours,
Do we look serene?
Do we look so clear?
A tiny dot way out in space,
The home of the human race,
But things they aren't going so well down here,
(Chorus)
From furthest sea to familiar shore,
From highest peak to the forest floor,
All creatures great and all creatures small,
How can we believe that we own it all?
How can we believe that we own it all?
Turn on the TV what do I see?
Politicians who disagree,
And another country overthrown,
Sometimes I think that the world’s insane,
But then when I look again,
I see the only madness, is our own
I cannot believe it’s true,
Is this the best that we can do?
So be the first, put down the stone.
Just like the birds up in the sky,
And the fish in the ocean wide,
Know that this is our one and only home.

For the glow on the horizon
That heralds each unfolding day
And the first few rays of sunshine
That chase the morning dew away
And as the birds awaken singing
Sweet promise steals to light the way
Sing for the beauty of the dawning
Sing for the beauty of the day
For all the ancient windswept mountains
With snowy peaks where eagles fly
O'er painted slops of wildflowers
Bright blossoms kissed with summer light
For every wild running river
Where salmon run and otters play
Sing for all future generations
Sing for the beauty of the day
And for the mystery of the twilight
That quiet breath tween day and night
For all the magic of the gloaming
Where shadows flirt with fireflies
As darkness falls with gentle breezes
And forest trees that dance and sway
Sing for the beauty all around you
Sing for the beauty of the day

(Mmmmm hmmmmm. Let’s do this thing!)
I Will Not walk into that big box store.
I do not need the crap they sell there anymore.
And I’m satisfied to simplify.
For the little things are the big things.
That drive thru window don’t produce my food.
I know it’s fast and it’s designed to taste real good.
But it’s plain to see it’s killing you and me
To eat so very far from the field.
Do you enjoy your air straight from the factory?
Do you enjoy the Tssssss of acid rain?
Do you like telling stories over forest fires?
Do you enjoy the thrill of hurricanes?
I Will Not drive a car that guzzles gas.
Just to get there wild and just to get there fast.
I’m a Green Earth Girl in a Black Gold World.
And I’m proud to put my money where my mouth is.
(Listen up now!)
That television don’t produce my news.
I’m much more picky about the truth I choose.
All that hate and war will bring us more.
I mean don’t ignore it. But gosh, don’t let it control you.
Do you enjoy the constant question: “Mommy, Why?”
Vacation photos of wilderness….cement?
Do you enjoy your barbeque up on the roof?
Cuz it’s flooding and you’re waiting for the….
Government. Ohhh!
I Will Not waste my breath on talking small.
I dedicate my voice to the love of it ALL.
And I still believe in love and peace.
And I have given my whole life to this dream!
Do you enjoy your air straight from the factory?
Do you enjoy the Tssssss of acid rain?
Do you like telling stories over forest fires?
Do you enjoy the thrill of hurricanes?
We keep doing what we do…
We keep doing what we do…
We keep doing what we do…
And we’ll get more of the same.
I Will Not walk into that big box store!

Gina LaMonte - Due North
04:18
|
|

You traced my shape upon your stars
You traced my shape upon your stars
Wrote my name in your sky
Pointed me due North
So you could find your way on the darkest night
You honored me - Begged me shelter
Stretched me like canvas – Wore me like cloak
To your warrior’s art, I played my part
And I fell in the dance to his spear in one stroke
Your children – my cubs
We lived with each other and that was enough
Took what we needed - But we never took more
Until your lights burned brighter
Than the stars in your sky
And now due North’s forgotten
And now there is slaughter … and now there is war
A war I have no heart to wage
It seems you have no heart at all
And so, due North, your compass fades
And I am just some trophy for your wall
Honor lost, collecting dust
A relic tossed aside – have you no soul?
The wounded – the abandoned cubs
And no one counts the stars that fall
Your children – my cubs
We lived with each other and that was enough
Took what we needed - But we never took more
Until your lights burned brighter
Than the stars in your sky
And now due North’s forgotten
And now there is slaughter … and now I’m no more
Just some stars in your sky … pointing due North
I’m just some stars in your sky – pointing due North
I’m just some stars in your sky – pointing due North
I’m just some stars in your sky

Morning sleepy eyed laughter rings
Sunlight misty day birdsong sing
Light and shade
Dreams are made
Green field’s endless sky
Summer star arise
Buzzing bee goes, by smiling Sun
Dancing feet that fly to become
Light and shade
Dream awake
Green field’s endless sky
Summer star is high
The Queen of the Summer Stars
Wearing a cloak of green
Her laughter like falling water
Filling my cup of dreams
Rainbow clouds adrift flowing by
Winking star appear, endless sky
Night and day
Dream awake
Just like fireflies
Summer stars arise
The Queen of the Summer Stars
Wearing a cloak of night
Another green day tomorrow
A promise of morning light

Through fire light and dark the winter called
“Come greet an early morning with the frost upon the land”
A halo binds the moon with ice crystals in the air
And the skeletons of trees like guardians do stand
The harvest is long over and we’ve passed through Samhain’s gate
The misty woods are sleeping, for Bridhe’s sweet kiss they wait
The wind it cuts like a knife, for the bones of Jack Frost keens
And the Winter King must now bow down to the champion of the green
And the lord of the woodland is waiting in the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He’s a messenger from nature, this ancient wise god.
Chorus
Hey oh it’s the green man Jack, running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back from where the spirit of the green will take you
There’s poetry in the breezes that tell of things to come
With dancing corn and swaying wheat beneath the summer sun
Lay down among the blossoms sacred to the flower bride
Lost in scented fields where meadow sweet runs wild
Lady of the lakes and fields, lady of the woods
I feel your verdant energy pulsing in my blood
Your silver skin of bark and moss upon your thighs
With Ivy twirls and briar curls, you watch with hidden eyes
Can you tell the Green man is waiting in the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He’s a messenger from nature, this ancient wise god.
Chorus
Hey oh it’s the green man Jack, running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back from where the spirit of the green will take you
Strength of Oak and sage of Yew, Rowan, Ash and Thorn
The summer king has claimed his bride so all will be reborn
The spirit of the wildwood calls, in the language of the trees
Protect the woodlands of the earth is the forest gods’ decree
Without the essence of the green our world can never be
Drawing breath around us from the earth into the trees
from soil and shoot, stem and root, by leaf and bark and limb
We keep alive the wisdom of the Lord and Lady Green.
And the Wildman of the woodland is watching from the leaves
Through the forest and the hedgerows the song of life he weaves
With his feet deep in the soil he watches over the greenwood
He’s a messenger from nature, this ancient wise god.
Chorus
Hey oh it’s the green man Jack, running through the woods singing up the summertime
And you know you will never look back from where the spirit of the green will take you

Out in the lavender twilight
Out where the evening is stark and still
Deep at the edge of dream
I drink my fill
Wrap me in silver moonlight
Watch the water cascade through ferns
Oh for the woods unclaimed
My spirit yearns
Your river runs through my veins
Sure as the stardust sings my name
My bones will remain
We light the soul of the world
Ours is a love that can’t be bought or sold
We will not trade our blood for gold
Rise, defenders of beauty
Rise to loosen the grip of greed
Ripping life from our soil
We drown in need
Out of sorrow comes springtime
Leaves returning in emerald throngs
Giving breath to our lives
Our voice, your song
Your river runs through my veins
Sure as the stardust sings my name
My bones will remain
We light the soul of the world
Ours is a love that can’t be bought or sold
We will not trade our blood for gold
Our breath is the wind rising in the trees,
Our tears flow as rivers from the shining silver sea
Our hearts beat the rhythm of the thunder stricken sky
Oh sing your lullaby, sing your lullaby
Your river runs through my veins
Sure as the stardust sings my name
My bones will remain
We light the soul of the world
Ours is a love that can’t be bought or sold
We will not trade our blood for gold

I don't believe you anymore
You've shown me what you have in store
The words you speak are less important
Than the deeds you do
Drain the water, frack the clay
And carry all the wealth away
Hastening your own decay
It's up to you
Sell our land that you preserved give us elusive dreams
Riches in the earth are more important than the streams
You dig into the mother's bones
And base your worth upon her stones
Protected in your fancy homes
From seeing truth
(The) Equality you say you meet's
Found only on the balance sheet
It's just another way to cheat
It's up to you
You say if I protect my land (it's a) terroristic threat
(but the) Grass is only greener now on your side of the fence
It's up to you
You copyright your GMOs
A farmer don't own what he sows
You tell him that's just how it goes
You'll have to sue
Legally you have the might (but)
Legally don't mean it's right (do you)
Think that power is your birthright
It's up to you
How can we sustain our land and keep the country free
If by our very birth we're owned by a corporate entity
You steal our farms to move your crude
They're now unfit for growing food
And fishing waters you pollute
For profit you've accrued
Starve humanity because
Being poor means having flaws
You're protected by your laws
It's up to you
Burn the skin off mother earth and fill the sky with dread
Your bank account won't mean a thing when we all wind up dead
It's up to you
