Prayers For Freedom
Prayers For Freedom
by S. Nutting
Blessed river, polishing stones,
She is polishing our hearts, we are claiming our thrones,
To sit side by side in our awakened homes.
Love is always watching. Love is always watching.
And we're gonna sing, sing, sing our prayers for freedom
Sing, sing, sing our prayers for freedom
Sing, sing, sing our prayers for freedom
Sing our prayers for freedom for all humankind.
Medicine giver, gentle spirit of the land
She is polishing our hearts in ways we do not understand
We walk side by side and offer both our hands
Love is always watching
Love is always watching
And we're gonna sing...
Sing our prayers for freedom for the land
Brothers, sisters, brave pilgrims of the night
We have followed our hearts, and to truth we have arrived
To sit side by side in divinity's light
Love is always watching. Love is always watching
And we're gonna sing...
Sing our prayers for freedom for the world.
River Run Free
By K. Longaker
How to go about it
How to let this river run free
All the mountains shouting
Free the well of love within me
Bow, bow down beside it
Lean into the love of loving
There's no doubt about it
You can bet that river's singing
Oh, the will of sorrow
Is to make clean these springs of joy
In this here, now gone tomorrow
We are bound and we have choice
Hear that river calling
Calling us into our calling
Wade out in that water
Dream the dream the river's dreaming
Oh, the will of sorrow
Is to make clean these springs of joy
In this here, now gone tomorrow
We are bound and we have choice
Power of Kindness
by S. Nutting/K. Longaker
Ooh, I believe in the Power of Kindness
Oooh, I believe in the Power of Love
Oooh, I believe in the Power of kindness
Oooh, I believe in the Power of Love
We don't know what's coming
We can help shape what's ahead
With Kindness as our currency
The common wealth is in our hands
So, give a little, give a little
Give a lot don't stop
A helping hand makes the world go 'round
There's more than enough
Oooh, I believe in the Power of Kindness....
Listen up now people
Keep your ear to the ground
We are the river flowing
Generosity abounds
So, give a little, give a little....
Oooh, I Believe in the Power of Kindness...
The honeybee serves sweetness
Only to help the world bloom
Bringing love to flower
From the flower to the fruit
We could learn a thing or two
Little Baby
by S. Nutting
Little baby stories for to share around the fire
Little baby worries for to burn upon the pyre
Come on baby, let your love spill out
Baby, let your love spill out
Little Baby ears to hear your little baby cares
Little baby tears to wash these, little baby despairs
Baby, let your love spill out
Baby, baby, baby, let your love spill out
And all of this is welcome in this heart that's born anew
Curious and open to all that's passing through
Bless these lives, and we do
We are innocent through and through
Little baby sadness for a dream that didn't bloom
Little baby visions of a life that's better suited
Come on baby....
Little baby meanings ripe and ready to let go
Little baby seedlings to make this garden grow
Baby...
And there are little baby soldiers fighting little baby wars
We got little baby laps to hold these wounded baby boys
And there's magic in the dust and there's medicine on the vine
You're a baby, I'm a baby, we're doing just fine
Come on baby...
Wonder
By S. Nutting/ K. Longaker
Ooh, I wonder
Oooh, I wonder
Oooh, I wonder
What is to come, out of this darkness
I've been moving moving moving moving through the darkness...
I wonder when the light is cracking open..
I thought this candle had long gone out...
But today today today today I can see
There's still a flickering flickering
Oooh, I wonder...
Burn burn burn burn on the inside
Burn burn burn burning like a bright light
Burn burn burn burn on the inside
This light's still burning, burning bright
I thought this candle had long gone out...
but today i can see, there's more than a flickering
We Shall Be Known
by K. Longaker
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
The term "Great Turning is coined by Joanna Macy
Soul Sister
by K. Longaker
Soul sister
I so believe in you
Soul Sister
Though this water is wide
Oh sister
This grief and pain are true
I am here with you
and I will see you through to the other side
Soul Sister
I know the Earth in you
Soul Sister
You are strong and wild
Oh sister
What can I say or do?
I am here with you
And I will see you through to the other side
Oh, Hold out your hands
Or crumble to the Earth
Whatever it takes for you to thrive
Your body knows like a river flows
and she will see you through to the other side
Souls Sister
I so believe in you
Soul Sister
You are strong and wild
Oh Sister
Whatever you're going through
I am here with you
and I will see you through to the other side
Cultivating Place
By K. Longaker and S. Nutting
Commissioned song for Jennifer Jewell

She ain't mine, She ain't yours
She is OURS, to adore
Oh, Home I love you more and more
Willow pine, forest floor
'Mater vine, mushroom Spore
Oh, Home I love you more and more
Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' down
Pulling each other up
There's enough to go around
Tending this garden with our love
Make Beauty wherever I go, make beauty
Make beauty wherever I go, Make beauty
Bluebird you come along
Add you color to my pallet of paint
And I know we can do no wrong
When our hands are covered in clay
our hands are covered in clay
And in this artistry of love
There is so much space
These fingertips know you're spine
And this body just want to play
Fingertips know your spine
And this body just wants to play
Oh, Home, I love you more and more
Make beauty wherever I go, make beauty...
Home, I love you more and more

For Her Speak
by S.Nutting and K. Longaker, Original spoken word by Lyla June
River wide and river deep
Calls me to her side
To protect and for her speak
Water she says it is time
Vast vast oceans
Bubbling creeks
All are friends of mine
From valley floor to mountain peak
Water she says it is time
"They say that history is written by the victors,
But how can there be a victor when the war isn't over?
The battle has only just begun
And creator is sending her VERY best warriors
This time it isn't Indians verses cowboys
No, this time it is all the beautiful races of humanity
Together on the SAME SIDE
And we are fighting to replace our fear with LOVE
This time bullets, arrows and cannonballs will not save us
The only weapons that are useful in this battle are the weapons of
TRUTH, of FAITH and COMPASSION" -Lyla June
So lay down you weapons I come in peace
To be a stand for life
For all things thrive where water clean
Water she says it is time
For all thing thrive where water is clean
Water she says it is time
God's Eyes
by S. Nutting
If I could see it through God's eyes
The Earth the Moon the Sun he satellites
Watching somewhere from the darkness
I would admire all I'd created
Even the lines that separate
Oh, for I know there is forgiveness
If I could see it through God's eyes
Would I judge or would I cry
Oh, would I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
May we find our way, back to love
May we find our way, back to love
If I could see it through God's eyes
Stagnant water and power lines
Oh, would I believe it
If I could see it through God's eyes
This land of broken rock,
Damns dammed if I wouldn't free it
May water find her way, back to love
May water find her way, back to love
Through the dream time into light
Comes a vision through God's eyes
Safe passageways for all creatures
Who swim through sea and soar through sky
Those with fur and those who slither by
Please hold this vision I want to believe it
May they find their way back to LOVE
May they find their way back to LOVE
May water find her way back to LOVE
May we find our way back to LOVE
