SHE'S BEEN WAITING
She's been waiting, waiting
She's been waiting so long,
She's been waiting for her children
To remember to return.
She's been waiting, waiting
She's been waiting so long
She's been waiting for her children
To remember to return.
Blessed be and blessed are the lovers of the Lady.
Blessed be and blessed are Maiden, Mother, Crone.
Blessed be and blessed are the ones who dance together.
Blessed be and blessed are the ones who dance alone.
WE ALL COME FROM THE GODDESS
(Chorus):
We all come from the Goddess, and to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain, flowing to the ocean.
We all come from the Sun God, and to Him we shall return,
Like a spark of fire, rising from the funeral pyre.
Hoof and horn, hoof and horn
All that dies shall be reborn,
Corn and grain, corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again.
(Repeat chorus)
Waxing Maid, Waxing Maid
Youth is free and unafraid,
Maid of Spring, Maid of Spring
Lessons learned are everything.
(Repeat chorus)
Mother Earth, Mother Earth
We call you who gave us birth,
We are yours, Blood and Bone
Kin to tree and standing stone.
(Repeat chorus)
Sage and Crone, sage and Crone
Wisdom's gift shall be our own,
Crone and sage, Crone and sage
Wisdom is the gift of age.
(Repeat chorus)
Hoof and Horn, Hoof and Horn
All that dies shall be reborn
Corn and grain, corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again.
(Repeat chorus)

PRAYER FOR COMPASSION
Tara, Quan Yin, Mother Mary
Please hear my prayer,
Show me compassion for myself
And all beings everywhere.
CHANGING WOMAN
There is a woman who weaves the night sky
See her spin, watch her fingers fly
She is within us beginning to end
Our grandmother, our sister, our friend
She is the weaver and we are the web
She is the needle and we are the thread.
SPIRIT ALL AROUND ME
Spirit above me -- Spirit below me
Spirit before me -- Spirit behind.
Spirit all around me -- Spirit am I.
OLD ONES HEAR US
Old ones hear us -- Old ones rejoice
We are the children -- Sending a voice,
No more destruction -- No more remorse
Dancing the heartbeat -- Back to the source.
RISE WITH THE FIRE
We will rise with the fire of freedom
Truth is in the fire that will break our chains,
And we will stop the fire of destruction
Healing is the fire running through our veins.
SONG FOR REMEMBRANCE
In the heart of the mystery, I am
In the heart of the mystery, I am.
In the heart of the mystery, I am
In the heart of the mystery, I am.
In the heart of the light, I am
In the heart of the light, I am.
In the heart of the light, I am
In the heart of the light, I am.
In the dark of the night, I am
In the dark of the night, I am.

In the dark of the night, I am.
In the heart of the mystery, I am
In the heart of the light, I am.

In the mirror of the All, I am
In the center of the Source, I am.
THE LIGHT IN THE MYSTERY
The light goes on inside
I feel the spirit move me,
The mystery within resounds
Blessings and grace now fill me.
(Chorus):
With love, with joy, beauty, peace and power.
With love, with joy, beauty, peace and power.
My heart can now be full
Oh Goddess, I become,
The depth to which I feel
Is the depth to which I am.

I love myself as one
I see the light shine in you,
The mystery of all abounds
And birth ourselves anew.
(Repeat chorus)
KORE CHANT
(Chorus):
She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches changes.
She changes everything She touches
And everything She touches changes.
Her name can not be spoken
Her face was not forgotten;
Her power is to open
Her promise can never be broken.
(Repeat chorus)
All seeds She deeply buries
She weaves the thread of seasons;
Her secret, darkness carries
She loves beyond all reason.
(Repeat chorus)
All sleeping seeds She wakens
The rainbow is Her token;
Now Winter's power is taken
In love all chains are broken.
(Repeat chorus)
Everything lost is found again
In a new form, in a new way;
Everything hurt is healed again
In a new time, in a new day.
(Repeat chorus)
Bright as a flower and strong as a tree
With our love and with our light;
Breaking our chains so we can be free
With our love and with our light.
(Repeat chorus)
We are changers
Everything we touch can change.
We are changers
Everything we touch can change.
(Repeat chorus)
Change is, touch is
Touch is, change is,
Change us, touch us
Touch us change us.

HEAL THE MOTHER
There's a grief that's deep within my soul
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
A torrent of tears running into the sea
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
Heal the Mother, let it all out
Heal your Mother, let it all go.
There's a rage that boils within my veins
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
Volcano blows, and the lava flows
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
Heal the Mother, let it all out
Heal your Mother, let it all go.
There's a fear that trembles deep within
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
Earthquake's moving everything around
I'm letting it out, I'm letting it go.
Heal the Mother, let it all out
Heal your Mother, let it all go.

WE WON'T WAIT ANY LONGER
Gwydion Pendderwen/last verse-Jezebel
(Chorus):
We won't wait any longer
We are stronger than before.
We won't wait any longer
We are stronger.
We have trusted no man's promise
We have kept to just ourselves,
We have suffered from the lies
In all the books upon your shelves.
And our patience and endurance
Through the Burning Times and now,
Has given us the strength
To keep our vow.
(Repeat chorus):
You have grazed away the heather
And razed the sacred grove,
You have driven native peoples
From the places that they love.
Though your greed has been unbounded
You have felt the pangs of shame,
Every time you trod
Upon the Mother's name.
(Repeat chorus):
Though you thought you had destroyed
The memory of the Ancient Way,
Still the people light the bale fire
Every year on Solstice day.
And on Beltane Eve and Samhain
You can find us on the hill,
Invoking once again
The Triple Will.
(Repeat chorus):
Through the ages many races
Have risen and have gone,
But dispersed among the nations
Of the world we linger on.
Now the time has come to take
The sacred Cauldron of Rebirth,
And fulfill our ancient
Pledges to the earth.
(Repeat chorus):
Although the ancient memories
Still live within our souls,
We have found that life within
These times takes a heavy toll.
We must hold to what we value
And fight to keep our ground,
And understand the Circle
Shall go `round.
(Repeat chorus):
