Lyrics:
We are sisters of the moon
And daughters of the sun
We are mothers of the world
Our voices they are one
We are lovers of the earth
And guardians of the land
We are weavers of the dream
Together we are standing
We are healers
We are teachers
We are dreamers
We are revealers
Of the TRUTH
We are sisters of the moon
And daughters of the sun
We are mothers of the world
Our voices they are one
We are lovers of the earth
And guardians of the land
We are weavers of the dream
Together we are standing

Wind – Heather Houston
/in Harmony 2 English Heather Houston Calling in Elements, Inspirational, Letting Go, Prayer, Wind /by natalieWind By Heather Houston
This beautiful chant swept through me one magical Spring day in my little garden paradise. The melody captivated my spirit, and before I knew it I was in the house recording what I heard and eight different harmony parts emerged. It’s a super rough cut, but I’m delighted to share. My voice, in the raw, completely spontaneous, no edits, no re-dos… just the spirit of the wind singing through me…

Lyrics:
Wind purify me
Help me to see
the way to my freedom

Bring Me Little Water Sylvie – Lead Belly
/in Harmony 2 English Lead Belly Water /by natalieBring Me Little Water Sylvie
by Lead Belly
When performing this song, Lead Belly would often tell his audiences that the song was about his uncle Bob Ledbetter, who worked out on the fields plowing the soil. When he got thirsty, he would call for his wife, Sylvie, to bring him some water.
This song is in the public domain.
Lyrics:
Bring me little water Sylvie
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Bring it in a bucket Sylvie
Bring it in a bucket now
Bring it in a bucket every once in a while
Silvie come a running
Bucket in my hand
I will bring a little water
Fast as I can
Bring me little water Sylvie
Bring me little water now
Bring me little water Sylvie
Every little once in a while
Can’t you see me coming
Can’t you see me now
I will bring a little water
Every once in a while

This one flowed through after our first community singing retreat at Esalen. I was on my way to the song leader after-party, and it jumped in. Rhythmically challenging and fun to do with a group of more advanced singers. Funky, groovy, soulful.
Please sing and share. Please do not record.
Lyrics:
Take me to the edge
Of the world
Take me to the edge of the sea
Take me to the edge
of my resistance
Where I meet the one who’s longing to be free!
