Welcome in (welcome in)
Come on in (come on in)
Wey-ey-ey-ey-eyyyyy-elcome in.

Welcome In

Bird of the day is coming your way
Bird of the day is coming your way-ay
Bird of the day is coming your way
Bird of the day is coming your way

Went down to the river
There's a kingfisher
Hope up to the field
A harrier reels
Went into the forest
Jays in a chorus
Go down to the sea
The seagulls like me

Bird of the day is coming your way
Bird of the day is coming your way-ay
Bird of the day is coming your way
Bird of the day is coming your way

Written and sung by Jason Chandler

Bird Of The Day

Aaaa-nimal x4
Do you live on the land, in the sky, in the sea?
Do you breathe this air like you or like me?
Do you live in a hole where the light doesnt be?

Are you Aaaa-nimal?
Aaa-nimal

Did you live at the time of the dinosaurs?
Can you swim to the bottom of the ocean floor?
Do you burn the marshmallow for your smore?

Are you Aaaa-nimal?
Aaa-nimal

Written and sung by Audrey Burns

Animal Of The Day

Standing like a tree with my roots down deep
My branches wide and open
Down comes the rain (ch-ch)
Here comes the sun (hah-hah)
Down comes the fruit to a heart that is open

Tree Of The Day

Fire, sacred fire, burning through the night
Come to me in my dreamtime
Bring me visions of light
Circle Round, spiral down
Into this heart open wide
Healing light, burning bright
Dry these tears I have cried

Written by Denean
Sung by Emily Wasem

Sacred Fire

Come come come, little little piece of sun
Sing a song of where you traveled from
Your clothes are warm your colors shine so bright
Come come come, little little piece of light

Sung by Caitlin Thurrell

"We heard this song was made by a woman our friend Erica knows out west, who dedicated herself to hand drill and, doing it every day for months, made that song to keep herself company"

Come Little Piece Of Sun

By Heidi Wilson, Sung by Trevanna Frost Grenfell

Chorus:
Good morning Earth, Good morning sky, Good morning waters, flowing by

Good morning rocks, good morning leafy greens.
To the squirming, swimming and the running animals, And all you reaching trees
Chorus
Good morning birds flying overhead, On the winds of the four directions
And the mighty thunderheads.
Chorus
Good morning sun, good morning moon. Good morning distant stars
We’ll remember your stories soon.
Chorus
Good morning you, Good morning me
To the ones who came before us, And those who are yet to be
Chorus
Good morning life, Singing in our bones
We give thanks for another day In this land where we call home
Chorus

Good Morning Earth

He venido aqui, buscando cantos
He venido aqui, buscando flores
Busco mariposas de obsidiana
Busco quetzales de mil colores

He Venido Aqui

Oh wind, carry us now, 
Like milkweed silk and send us out,
Oh send us out

It is almost time for the drying milkweed pods to open and send their seed babies on the wind. (I have seen more monarch butterflies on the milkweed this summer than the last few years, hallelujah!) This song came to me many years ago and has been sung by all sorts of folks as we've headed our separate ways after gatherings.

Oh Wind

The fire in the sun makes the fire in the trees makes the fire that we light today (x2)
Fire, fire, burning brightly, heal us with your light.

El fuego en el sol hace fuego en madera hace fuego que hacemos hoy (x2)
Fuego, fuego, quema, brilla, sananos con tu luz

Rise Up oh flame, by thy light glowing
Bring to us beauty, vision, and joy

We will kindle your fire, dance the magic spindle round
We will kindle your fire, we will kindle your fire

Kindle our spirits higher
In thy flame naught remains
But Fire Fire Fire.

Fire Spirits Come To Us

You’ve got to light it up to live, tend it well and it’ll always be there,
Light it up to live, tend it well and it’ll always be there…
Inside me, bum-bum-ba-di-da-dah
Sets me free, bum-bum-ba-di-da-dah

Light It Up To Live

Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone
Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone

Am I spiky or smooth? Am I long or plump?
On a single stem or a big juicy clump
Do bees gather pollen in my petals bright? 
Do squirrels stash me for a long winter’s night?

Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone
Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone

Do I bloom in the sun or the light of the moon
Do I ripen in September or August or June
I might be sour or bitter or sweet 
And I’ll grow a new plant if I’m not someone’s treat 

Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone
Seed, berry, nut, flower or cone.
You can’t grow a plant from a thought alone

Seed, Berry, Nut, Flower or Cone

Let the sun shine down and warm my bones
Let the birds and the bees come and take my clothes
Cause I’m a wild one now made of wind and rain
I’m wild and I ain’t going back again

Let the moon shine down and bless my soul
Let the wolves and the owls come and tend my coals
Cause I’m a wild one now made of stars and dreams
I’m wild and I’m part of everything

Let the stars shine down and bless my heart
Let the beaver and the bear teach me of their art
Cause I’m a wild one now made of fat and fish
The tending of the wild is my greatest wish
The spreading of the wild is my greatest wish
The healing of the wild is my greatest wish

Written by Sage(Kathleen)Stanzler

I’m a Wild One Now

Sing for the winter and sing for the night
Hold up your candle and hold up your light
Sing, sing, sing for the night
Sing, sing, sing for the light

Oh Wind (Sung by Heidi Wilson)

Here In This Forest

Xanthophyll is yellow
Anthocyanin is red
Carotene is orange
but what you see instead
Is chlorophyll so green
But when autumn comes around
All the leaves turn lovely colors and they all fall to the ground
Hey!
