Abundantly I rise with orange skies in my eyes
Thank you God form for the element of surprise You make every day new And you keep my heart true And you awaken my mind to the good that I can do... |
...I will be fearless in the face of disaster
Time is moving faster, sustain is what I'm after The church, the temple, sweat lodge, chi kung master Internally I turn a leaf, attune my body to new belief My God is housed within me, she is Shakti Kali... |
So I let go, and keep it slow...
Celebrating the emotions as they fall like snow And I rise with the steam, Chinese character for chi The essence distilled from the waters within me I am, abundantly free... | Shackle my hands, my spirit is free
All the spirit warriors stand up and be Living in your song so that you can live truly... |
