By Devananda Lali Ji:

Gathering the flowers
Flowers from the forest
Forest full of medicine 
to help us with our healing

Healing of our bodies
Body, mind, and spirit
Spirit of the Water, 
come wash over my heart.

My heart is growing open
It’s opening each moment.
Each moment is a miracle 
that’s calling us to gather.

Gathering the flowers
Flowers from the forest
Forest full of medicine 
to help us with our healing

Healing of our bodies
Body, mind, and spirit
Spirit of the Water, 
come wash away my tears.

Tears of joy I’m crying,
Crying for my people,
People, we are ready,
Ready to be free.

Free to beautiful.
Beautiful in power
empowering each other
to come together Gather...

Gathering the Flowers
