This heart of mine is breaking open
is cracking open
is breaking open 
again and again

Is growing wider
and feeling deeper 
is growing wider
again and again

And I know thats how the light gets in
And I know that how more love gets in

Breaking Open (how the light gets in)

Divine Mother
Divine Mother, hold me
So I remember myself as whole and holy

Divine Mother
Divine Mother, hold me
So I remember myself as whole and holy

Hold me in my brokenness
Hold me in my shattered pieces
Show me I am nothing less
than whole and holy 

Drums: Emma Chautia 
Vocals: Alli Caw

Divine Mother

One small tolerable step at a time
One small tolerable step at a time

This is how we heal
This is how we heal
Learning how to feel 
Learning how to feel

Our joy, our rage, our grief, our numbness
Our joy, our rage, and even our fear
We just feel...
One small tolerable step at a time


One small tolerable step

Peace Starts Within Me by Maddie Hamann

Lyrics:
I'm sturdy, you can't **** with me, 
I got warrior blood in my ancestry.
We're study, we got piece of mind,
We're strong and we're brave and we're feelin' alive.

Mind like a laser, tiger for a heart
Drop the veils of separation
You can't keep us apart. 

I got, I got my roots down, deep deep, deep deep de deep deep.

I'm Sturdy

I, I have    inherent value running through me.
I, I am       all that I need to be.

Breathe like the forest and its trees,
Flow like the river to the sea,
Know the truth when  you feel you must pretend
I-have-value-in     her-ent-ly.

I am free --- from society's binds,
Smashin' up the models that control my mind.
I am ease -- I am free with my life,
Smellin' all the roses with my valuable time.

Inherent Value

Oh the Sun is Shining Bright
Oh the Sun is Shining High
Oh the Sun is Shining Bright
It's Shining High For Me

Anyway the Wind Blows
I see it in the Trees
Yes I hear the Wind Blow
I feel it in the Breeze

Pinks and Blues and Creamsicles too
I feel the many Color running through Me
Pinks and Blues and Creamsicles Too
I feel the many Color running through Me

Oh The Sun

All around the campfire we sing
Telling stories of love and loss
That is the human cost to breathe
And so we sing

If you wanna dance
Then I'll dance with you
Take a little change
Dance of death and spring
Dance as One in the Fire Ring

All Around the Campfire

Put my hand on your shoulder
So I can fix my shoes
Put your hand on my shoulder
When I got the blues

I know when I'm walkin and I stumble and I 
fall down low
You will pick me up and I will rise to the 
feet back slow

Come lean on me
When you are down
Come lean on me-e
When you are do----wn


Come Lean on Me

I am Free, I am Free, I am Free from the Fear of this Trauma
I am Free, I am Free, I am Free from our Momma

Wash away the Hurt that does not serve
Make some room for us to grow a ne-w

I Am Free

The Sun is shinging through the cloud
The rain is slowing down
The veil is lifted just for now
The storm is rolling out

And the sun is shining through my smile
My eyes are bright as gold
You're with me here, I love you my dear
Your company soothes my soul


The Sun is Shining
