Home To The River Of Love

Standing Like A Tree

A fun, rhythmic, layered song inviting us to listen deeply to the rhythm of the Earth and the sound of the river. 

Lyrics:

Part 1: Put your roots down, put your feet on the ground, can you hear what she says when you listen?

Part 2: Cause the sound of the river as it moves across the stone is the same sound as the blood in your body as it moves across your bones.

by Molly Hartwell

Let Life Move Me

Intro (sung only once):
My mother taught me how to swim
When I was very young
Swimming to survive

Round:
You kick, and then you glide
You kick, kick, and then you glide

It’a all in the rhythm
It’a all in the rhythm
It’a all in the rhythm of the heart

Keep breathing, it’s the most important part
Keep breathing, it’s the most important part

Nina Wise - Swimming To Survive (Elise Witt version)

Music and lyrics by Nina Wise
Arranged by Sheilah Glover
Vocals by Nina Wise and Sheilah Glover

Intro (sung only once):
My mother taught me how to swim
When I was very young
and swimming to survive
and swimming to survive
The glide she says it's the most important part

Round:
You kick, and then you glide
You kick, and then you glide

Keep breathing, it’s the most important part
Keep breathing, it’s the most important part

It’a all in the rhythm
It’a all in the rhythm
It’a all in the rhythm of the heart

Put Your Roots Down - Molly Hartwell - All Parts

The ethereal voices of Yala Lati meet the colorful voice of Heather Houston for a rainbow of sonic delight! Calling you home to the sacred circle of sisterhood, this album is a symphony for the innermost tendrils of the heart. 

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
