Songs and Chants from the Rainbow Circle camps

(and see our webpage of sounds)



      
I am a tower of strength

I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within

I let all burdens fall from my shoulders
all anxieties drift from my mind.

I let all fears slip away slip away
All fears slip from my heart

I let every Chakra be loosened
I let every Chakra be loose!

That's because...
(back to beginning)


WE ALL COME FROM THE GODDESS

We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean

Hoof and horn, hoof and horn
All who die shall be reborn

Corn and grain, corn and grain
All who fall shall rise again


EARTH MY BODY

Earth my body, Water my blood
Air my breath and Fire my spirit


THE RIVER IS FLOWING
The river is flowing,
Flowing and growing
The river is flowing
Down to the sea
Mother Earth carry me
Your child I shall always be
Mother Earth carry me
Back to the sea.


WE ARE A CIRCLE

We are a circle
A Rainbow circle
With no beginning
And never ending


WE ARE CIRCLING

We are circling
Circling together
We are singing
Singing our heart song
This is family
This is unity
This is celebration
This is sacred


MERRY MEEET

May the circle be open
Yet unbroken
May the love of the Goddess
Be ever in your heart
Merry meet and merry part
And merry meet again.


WE ARE OPENING UP IN SWEET SURRENDER

We are opening up in sweet surrender ))

We are rising up like a phoenix from the fire ))
Brothers and sisters spread your wings and fly higher ))
*2 (both lines)
We are rising up, we are ri-ising up
We are rising up, we are ri-ising up.


A RAINBOW SINGS WITHIN MY HEART

Sun and rain unite give birth (OR Sun and moon unite)
A rainbow circling the earth
A new dream we can all take part
A rainbow sings within my heart.


DEEP INSIIDE MY HEART

Deep inside my heart I've got this
Everlasting light
It's shining like the sun
It radiates on everyone
And the more that I give
The more I've got to give
It's the way that I live
It's what I'm living for.

(Followed by three drum beats which you can simulate
by singing Bom, bom, bom)

In the heart of the forest
High in the sky
As the roots grow down
To the deep dark Earth.


O ROUND MOTHER EARTH

O round Mother Earth

Songs of the silent stars
Songs of the Rainbow birth


MAY THE ROAD RISE WITH YOU

(OR: ONE PLANET IS TURNING)
(WINTER SOLSTICE CHANT)

Our planet is turning (One planet is turning)
On her course around the sun

Back the dawn

Let's keep it burning
Let's keep the flame of hope alive
Make safe our journey
Through the storm


OUR MAGIC IS OUR GIVE-AWAY

Our magic is our give-away
Our magic is our song
So give away your love today
And sing the whole day long.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a site that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a starcus
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the tipi tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I

Hi, we have phonetic wording for 2 chants at the last
years camps, one relates to the return of the White Buffalo, which
portends a great homecoming of spirits, the yearning cry that was
heard across the plains years ago.A prophecy of the rainbow tribe
coming together. Hopi prophecies explain more, worth knowing, let go
of the edges and see whose in their with you...and rejoice...

       Jemma and Jake 

Here's one for all the political power-mongers out there...

{guitar intro}

Don't you know, talkin' 'bout a Constitution, sounds, 
{like a workshop}
Don't you know, talkin' 'bout a Constitution, sounds, 
{like a workshop}
While they're, standin' in the dinner lines
Singin' in the doors of those Hallways of Assembly
Wastin' time, makin' up their minds
Sittin' around, waitin' for a Resolution
Don't you know, talkin' 'bout a Constitution, sounds, 
{like a workshop}
And finally the rainbow, is startin' to turn
Talkin' 'bout a Constitution
Yes, finally the rainbow, is startin' to turn
Talkin' 'bout a Constitution, ho-old on
Talkin' 'bout a Constitution, ho-old on...

(apologies to Tracy Chapman)
Love and Peace
Jake.
