Songs for the Summer Solstice
We may play more, but we'll definitely play these...


Ambe Ma

You're in our hearts like sunshine
You're in our souls like moonshine
You're in our blood like the river
that flows throught our lives.
We know we'll always find you
For the earth it does contain
The fullness of your loving heart
and our souls calling your name...calling your name...calling your name -

He Ambe Ma ... He Ambe Ma
He Ambe Ma He Ambe Ma

Jai Shyama Gauri Ma...Jai Shyama Gauri Ma
Jai Shyama Gauri Ma...Jai Shyama Gauri Ma

Jai Ma ... Jai Shri Ma
Jai Ma ... Jai Shri Ma

At your feet we bow

Kiss your sweet, sweet feet
Kiss your sweet, sweet feet

He Ambe Ma ... He Ambe Ma

Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma

We Welcome the Sun

We welcome the sun
And its light everlasting
Oh lo lo lo lo lo lo
Into our hearts with grace
Oh lo lo lo lo lo lo
(repeat)

Chorus:
We hold up our hearts to the sunlight
And join in its glorious song
We flow in our heart stream together
Keeping us happy and strong

We warm our souls
And light our journey
Oh lo lo lo lo lo lo
In the sun's great golden rays
Oh lo lo lo lo lo lo
(repeat)

Viva!

Viva to the Sun
The Moon and the Stars (repeat)

Viva to the Earth which is perfectly turning
Thanks for my life, a fire that is burning
Viva to the school in which I'm presently learning
Viva for the Being that experiences it all
Viva to the Sun
The Moon and the Stars.

Viva to the North
The South, East and West (repeat)

Viva to the Left and to the Right
Thanks for the Day and for the Night
Viva to what's behind me and what's in my sight
Viva for what's outside me and what's inside
Viva to the Sun
The Moon and the Stars
Repeat All

Asalam Aleikum

May the Love we share here spread its wings
And fly across the Earth
And sing its song
To every soul that is alive

May the Blessings of this Grace, My Friends
Be felt by everyone
And may we all see the Light
Within, within, within...

Because I Breathe

Because I breathe, I blow into you
The indescribable beauty of Her Holy Blue Mantle

Because I breathe, I blow into you
The innumerable blessings of the stars that adorn Her

Because I breathe, I blow into yo
Her Promise to be with you
Her promise to walk with you
Throughout the days of your life and hereafter

Just ask Her, Just ask Her, just ask....

Because I breathe, I blow into you
My prayer

The Miracle

The Miracle of being born on earth
to be a star from the Astral above
to see God in Everyone
and Heaven all around

Chorus:
God is Love
God is Beauty
where there is Love
God is here on Earth

Holiness is here in the rose
it's the perfume of the garden
The illumination of the Moon
shows the way through the darkness

Chorus...

Peace is from the Love
that shines from within
Love is the Light of our Path
the healing of the World

Chorus...

It's Love that can heal our pain
Love brings Heavenn to Earth
Love is the Light that illuminates
the shadows and the darkness

Chorus...

Nataraj

Everyone is free to be
just exactly as they want to be
in this wheel of Life

The beginning and the end
of all things exists right now
In this wheel of Samsara

And every way is a true way
to return to God
In this wheel that ever turns

And surrender is freedom
For there is no place to go
In this wheel all is one-derful

Nataraj, Nataraj, Nataraj is dancing
Nataraj, Nataraj, Nataraj is dancing
Nataraj, Nataraj, Nataraj is dancing
The wheel of samsara, the wheel of Samsara

Jai Shiva Shankara
Jai, Jai Kali Ma
Hara Bom, Hara Bom

Mother EarthChorus
Mother Earth,
forgive us for what we do
to Mother Earth,
we really love you

Mother Earth,
you are showing us the truth
of Mother Earth,
and how to love you

Mother Earth, our home,
may we see beyond the doom
of Mother Earth
and on to the dawning
Mother Earth, our home,
may the truth come, not too soon
Oh Mother earth
Lead us all on to the dawn.

Verse
It's the place we call our home
but it's our host not our own
Our Mother Earth
is there for to guide you.

Every attempt to improve
brings us further from the truth
Oh Mother Earth
the truth is inside you.

If we just could let it be
it could serve so perfectly
Mother Earth
the truth is beyond thee.

We were born to see the Light
not to fuss and not to fight
with Mother Earth
we're dying to be free.

repeat chorus

Earth my Body
Water my Blood
Air my Breath
and Fire my Spirit

Festival

All we do here on this planet
Is the work of the Nameless One
(repeat)
We are the hands, heart and intelligence
Of Allah, Jaweh, Juramidam
What we humans do on Earth
Is reflected in the stars above
(repeat)

In the forests and the rivers
In the sky and in the sea
(repeat)
All the creatures have their spaces
And they live there in harmony
The balance of Mother Nature
Is for everyone to see
(repeat)

Human spaces are towns and cities
Made of concrete, steel and wood
(repeat)
When we praise God in our creations
We live in conscious brotherhood
Like the Nature that surrounds us
All our Mother manifests through us is good
(repeat)

If it's broken, let us fix it
With intelligence and love
(repeat)
Refining our connection
To the Source of Life within our hearts
Healing the separation
From the Whole of which we are a part
(repeat)

Celebrating our true nature
Let's give thanks for our Festival
(repeat)
Through our work we are returning
To the One to Whom we're called
May we rise into the Light
May we fly there and never fall
(repeat)

Eternal Light

Oh Jesus, teach me to live in my heart
and to fly on the wings of your Love
Teach me to soar and take wing in Your sky
And to live in Your Light forevermore
(repeat)

Teach me to live in Your Love
to pray with a heart that is true
Teach me to sing and to dance in Your Joy, Lord
and to live in Your Light forevermore
(repeat)

Teach me to praise what is good every day
rejoicing in the mysteries of Life
Let me stand in Your Truth and Grace, Lord
and live in your Light forevermore
(repeat)

Oh, teach me to live in Your Light forever more
to shine as the firmament above
In that Glorious Land of Eternal Life
Our hearts are fulfilled by Your Love
(repeat)

The Light Sutra

The Supreme One is situated in everyone's heart
And is directing the wanderings of all living beings
Surrender utterly and by this Divine Grace
You will attain transcendental Peace
And the luminescent and eternal Abode

Burn in the Sacred Fire

Open my heart
To the love eternal
Open my mind
To the Sweet Divine
(repeat)

Open my soul
To the constant blessing
As the karmic threads unwind
As the karmic threads unwind
(repeat)

I shed the skin
Of my suffering
And fulfill
The desire
(repeat)

I renew
With a flood of tenderness
And burn in the sacred fire
And burn in the sacred fire
(repeat)
(Repeat all)
(after 2nd time, repeat continuously)
Burning in the sacred fire...

Jump into the Holy Fire

Jump into the Holy Fire
Jump into the Holy Flame
Jump into the Holy Fire
Jump into the Holy Flame
All doubt will leave you
All doubt will leave you
All doubt will leave you
When you chant God's Holy Name
When you chant God's Holy Name

We Shall lift Each Other Up


Dedicated with all Love to Robert Fry

Humble yourself by the side of the Mother
(Father, Forest, Ocean, Moon, Sun, Children)
You've got to bend down low
Humble yourself by the side of the Mother
You've got to know what She (He, They) know(s)
We shall lift each other up
Higher and higher
We shall lift each other up
