Wide open our hearts

Wild woman dreams
EmRiver
She’s the mother, she’s the child
She’s the weaver of all things wild
Speaks the language of the trees
And paints the fabric of our dreams
A burst of stardust magic,
With earth in every breath
Hair of vines entwining,
A fiery dragon’s nest
Beneath her lashes glows a fire
Of molten warmth and sweet desire
She moves like water, wild, windswept,
Like whispers blown from witchy breath
She’s the mother, she’s the child…
Curling like a shell with magic in its turns
Unfurling like the fronds of a tender green fern
She dances, she imagines,
She creates and she dreams
Colours bright and swirling
With pohutukawa seams
She hears the laughter of the wind
She calls the cry of forest kin
Feels the pulse of fairy wings
She chants the song of wild things.
Her heart is wide, warm, and giving
She sprinkles gold by lovingly living
A playful glint of mischief in her eye
She turns plain dirt into sunset sky
She’s the mother, she’s the child
She’s the weaver of all things wild
Speaks the language of the trees
And paints the fabric of our dreams

Brightly
EmRiver
May you always stand tall in the light of the sun,
Shine brightly, brightly.
May your heart be strong when the dark night has come,
Shine brightly, brightly.
May you walk in the power of your own love,
May you sing with the birds who soar above.
May you dance to the beat of your own drum,
Always remember who you are,
And where you come from.
Shine brightly, brightly.
Shine brightly.
May you always be sure in the face of the storm,
Shine brightly, brightly.
May you stoke your inner fire,
Keep it bright, keep it warm,
Shine brightly, brightly.
May you walk in the power of your own love,
May you sing with the birds who soar above.
May you dance to the beat of your own drum,
Always remember who you are,
And where you come from.
Shine brightly, brightly.
Shine brightly.
Shine brightly,
Shine brightly.

Love inspired
EmRiver
Hear the calling is to stop and listen,
Feel the impulse is to be aware.
Know the gift of intricate connection,
Depth of meaning, open hearts to share
Ooh inside there, love inspired,
Ooh insight burst into fire.
Ooh inside there, love inspired,
Ooh incite desire.
It’s time to honour the ancient heart song,
Time to gather the sacred seeds.
It’s time to follow the ways of wisdom,
Align our hearts with the tribal beat.
Ooh inside there, love inspired…
Awaken now, awaken,
We arise in love.
Awaken now, awaken,
Realise our power.
Awaken now, awaken,
We arise in love.
Ooh inside there, love inspired…

Coexist
EmRiver
We gotta learn how to coexist,
We gotta learn how to pull down the walls,
We gotta learn how to break through the barriers
that separate and alienate us.
People, of this great whole we’re each a part,
We want the freedom to simply do what’s on our hearts.
Come on, let’s treat each other right,
whether we’re black, yellow, or white
We gotta give respect to one another
cause we’re all sisters and brothers. Oh yeah.
We gotta learn how to coexist…
People, what we want is just the same.
We want true peace -
let’s stop trying to find somebody to blame.
Come on, let's treat each other right…
We gotta learn how to coexist
We gotta learn how to pull down the walls,
We gotta learn how to break through the barriers
that separate and alienate us.

Wings spread
EmRiver
Rise up, wings spread
From ash of dead
Rise up, my soul,
There’s a lot ahead
So much to gain
Through depth of pain
Rise up, my soul,
Grow wings again.
Don’t be dismayed
By fire on your way
Surrender, my soul,
And be filled with faith.
Rise up, wings spread
From ash of dead
Rise up, my soul,
There’s a lot ahead
So much to gain
Through depth of pain
Rise up, my soul,
Grow wings again.
The fire only comes
To lay gifts at your feet
The end of the old
A new beginning
Oh the end brings a new beginning
The fire only comes to lay gifts at your feet
Rise up, wings spread
From ash of dead
Rise up, my soul,
There’s a lot ahead
So much to gain
Through depth of pain
Rise up, my soul,
Grow wings again.

I Know You Care A Whole Lot
EmRiver
I know you care a whole lot
I know you’d do anything
I know you care a whole awful lot
And that’s a really good beginning.
Unless somebody just like you cares a whole awful lot
Nothing is going to get better,
oh no, it’s not.
He waka eke noa
I know you care a whole lot
I know you’d do anything
I know you care a whole awful lot
And that’s a really good beginning.
Because somebody just like you cares a whole awful lot
Now things are going to get better,
Let’s grow that thought.
He waka eke noa
We’re all in this together
I know you care a whole lot
I know you’d do anything
I know you care a whole awful lot
And that’s a really good beginning.
