about

A song about the roots of violence and what it takes to birth a new way for humanity. "Steady as a mountain, willing as the water, forged inside the fire, sing the circle open wider."

lyrics

When did the violence start
Who knows who knows
But I know I've been a part
The line between good and evil
Runs through every heart
Recognize where harm it lies
And listen for the path

Steady as a mountain
Willing as the water
Forged inside the fire
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider

Ancestor's swinging swords
Carved a river of wounds
And all the love they ever shared
Lives now as me and you
How many generations
Cut from the ground
Trauma tangled tight amidst the strength
And handed down

Now we meet the tending
Of the grieving mending shrine
Slow ourselves and feel until
What's bloody turns to wine
Digging vessels deeper
Til the golden thread is found
Weave this world a tapestry
With belonging as our sound

Steady as a mountain
Willing as the water
Forged inside the fire
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider

Steady as a mountain
Willing as the water
Forged inside the fire
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider
Sing the circle open wider
