The Only Way Through by Dianne Baker

The melody for this song came to me in early 2017 but it wasn’t until I shared it with several songleading colleagues in one big epic improvisation at Village Fire 2018 that it came into its fullness. This song odyssey co-creation honors our ancestors and everything that has come before so we can be here now, weaving our hands into our world.

Original song by Lisa G. Littlebird. (Great thanks to many of the harmony lines that were born of the creative genius of Aimee Ringle, Te Martin, Josh Blaine, Laurence Cole & Annie Zylstra, among others.) ©Lisa G. Littlebird 2018

We Are The Love That Came Before Us

Safra

Iraqi Yah Ribon/Lecha Dodi (George Mordechai)

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)

When We Come Into Our Calling

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

To Listen is to Lean In Softly by Ian Carrick

A dedication to the new possibility that is emerging in & out of this time, to dreaming into existence the world to come, and to the resilience needed to get us through what is to come until then. 

Written on the 29th of Kislev/ 7th night of Chanukah, 5781 

Or chadash (new light)

The light is returning 
The light is leaving

Dream with me little baby

Or Chadash
