COMING HOME - Rachelle Woodard

This land is sacred
The earth the rivers an the sea
This land is sacred
And so are we

Return, return, return
To the heart of the mother
Return, return, return
To the mystery

My heart is beating
Beating like a drum
My heart is singing
The sacred song

Grow your roots
Into the center of the earth
Grow your roots
Into the mystery

This land is breathing
Breathing through your lungs
This land is singing
An ancient song

Return, return, return
To the heart of the mother
Return, return, return
To the mystery
To the mystery
To the mystery

High Spirits Flute Ensemble - Night Vision

This is one of the simplest and most satisfying layer songs I've ever found. It can be taught to a group of novice singers and sound beautiful within minutes. The arrangement inspired by Sara Thomsen deviates quite a bit from the original song by Sophia Songhealer of Hidden Waters Sound, who gave her blessing for the song's use in this way.

Contemplation Chant

Adapted 2016 from Chance the Rapper’s ‘Blessings’, by Momentum Trainers from Black Lives Matter, Movimiento Cosecha, IfNotNow, and more!

LYRICS: 
We're gonna rise up, rise up till it's won.
When the people rise up, the powers come down.
They tried to stop us, but we keep coming back.

Rise Up

Artist: Karisha Longaker of MaMuse (low harmony added later by Thrive Choir)

Sung at a (mini) song circle on December 11, 2018 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

Lyrics:
We shall be known by the company we keep
By the ones who circle round to tend these fires
We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
The seeds of change, alive from deep within the Earth

It is time now
It is time now that we thrive
It is time we lead ourselves into the well
It is time now
And what a time to be alive
In this Great Turning we shall learn to lead in love
In this Great Turning we shall learn to lead in love

We Shall Be Known (MaMuse, low harmony by Thrive Choir)

This is a teaching recording for a four-part (advanced level) round about the birthday of the trees, the holiday of Tu B'Shevat.

This song has four parts to honor the four levels of fruit and their symbolism present at the seder.

Written in 2018, at the Round House bath tub Tu B'Shevat seder. 

Lyrics
Part I:
The birthday of the trees, of the life that fills our needs
No matter where we are, we are breathing
The birthday of the trees, of the life that fills our needs
No matter where we are, the branches swinging

Part II:

We are hard, we are soft.
Our cores are strong, our hearts aloft

Part III:

Oh the land, what a gift!
community, we fight for this
With roots in ground, and hearts in sky
the seasons turn, we try and try

Part IV:
There is something we don't know
We use this to feed our souls
