Where
There's Fear There's Power
Where there's fear, there's power;
Passion is the healer;
Desire cracks open the gate-
If you're ready it'll take you through.
But nothing lasts forever,
Time is the destroyer;
The wheel turns again and again-
Watch out, it'll take you through.
But nothing dies forever,
Nature is the renewer;
The wheel turns again and again-
If you're ready it'll take you through.
When
God Was A Woman
(softly, fade in)
Warm caress in the night time
Tender lip of the rose at dawn
Echoing crypt in the shadows
Can you tell me where she's gone?
(Chorus 1)
Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
Do you remember when god was a woman?
She had many, many names.
(Chant)
We call her
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, and
Inanana. (repeat)
She was the Mother, the Earth and all Her
children
From the sky, the land and the sea
She was the green one growing,
Ripening, sustaining, giving life abundantly
She was the sunlight, starlight,
Waxing moon and waning
And the Queen of Heaven too.
She was the deep space and the galaxies
Of planets that we ride twirling through.
Chorus & Chant
We heard her voice in the force of the whirlwind
We fely her pulse in the tide and the driving rain
We saw her blood at the birth of our children
We taste her flesh in the growing grain
Chorus & Chant
She was the young one, the holy maiden
huntress,
New life that blooms in the spring
She was the seed, the key, the power of
beginning,
The door that's opening.
She was the old one, the hag, the crone of
wisdom,
The deep grave under the earth.
She was the queen of night, the face of death
And the darkness, the cauldron of rebirth.
Chant
We heard her voice in the whirlwind
We felt her pulse in the tide and the driving rain
We saw her blood at the birth of our children
We taste her flesh in the growing grain
Chorus & Chant
(softly)
She was the warm caress in the
night time
She was the tender lip of the rose
at dawn
She was the echoing crypt of the
shadow
Can you tell me where she's
gone?
Is she forgotten?
Can we find her resting place?
When is the hour of her return?
We go without her and the pain is all around.
The forest dies... the witches burn
/ we called you /
Chant
Mmmm... Mmmm... Mmmm... Mmmm...
Remember...
(and we) remember...
Remember...
(and we) remember...
And we remember dreams will take us in our
hearts
To the place where she has gone.
She's still among us!
We sing her name, she answers and
She still lives on and on (and on)
She still lives on and on
Chant
She is the lover, sweet passion and desire
Embracing men and woman too
She is the skin, the hands, the mouth the
swelling chest
And she's the gate of love we all pass thru
And she's the world outside us and the world
inside.
She is the birth, life, love and death
Well she's both near and far, the
boundary and the center
She is north, south, east and west.
Chant
She is the woman who is crying for
justice
And she lives in the hurt and the
angry ones.
And she moves in the power of changing
And she calls to our hearts freedom! Freedom!
Chorus & Chant
Do you remember!
