Songs to sing together

Chorus:
Oak, Oak, Oak of old,
King of trees in your crown of gold,
You are the door to worlds unseen,
In winter bare and in summer green.

Verses:
From gold to green and green once more,
Your leaves will turn before they fall,
When twice you’ve worn your golden crown,
Each season’s harvest comes tumbling down.

And when you wear your Autumn crown,
Blue-feathered Jay from your branches sounds,
From cradles high your acorns fall,
So young may grow or to nourish all.

Five hundred years to grow and thrive,
Five hundred more to remain alive,
Shelter for all throughout your reign,
And many thousand lives sustain.

When dark clouds roll across the sky,
When thunder roars and storm winds cry,
All must beware you mighty Oak,
For you may court the lightning stroke.

Your roots grow deep your heart so strong,
Power of the sun to you belongs,
Generous to all as King you stand,
In strength and peace you guard this land.

Part One:

Let us see the beauty every day

And source our lives from its presence.

Part Two:

I want to know if you can see the beauty

Even when it’s not pretty every day

I want to know if you can see the beauty

And source your life from its presence

I am awake, I am alive
And I’m ready, I am ready for the day.

Me and my body, me and my body
Me and my body are well.

We Are Truly Blessed
We Are Truly Blessed

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

We will put it all back together, one peace at a time,
We will learn to mend our hearts, one peace at a time,
We will let flow our grieving, one peace at a time, 
When our hearts and minds come together, combine,
When our hearts and minds come together, combine…

We will cry out for our healing, one voice at a time,
We will open our senses, one breath at a time,
We will hear each other, one story at a time,
When our hearts and minds come together, combine,
When our hearts and minds come together, combine…

And I thought I heard the people say, ‘we won’t wait for another day’,
And I know that we can find the way to share our hearts, our dreams, our minds,

We will be our truest selves, one day at a time, 
We will beam and shine, one gift at a time,
We will weave our love, one thread at a time,
When our hearts and minds come together, combine,
When our hearts and minds come together, combine.
