À Travers Moi
Tes chemins de terre
Tes montagnes millénaires
Ton horizon à l’infini
Ton ciel étoilé
Berceau du sacré
Et ton silence qui m’a appris
À m’apprivoiser
Ce territoire coule dans mes veines
Ce paysage habite mes rêves
Le vent de l’est m’a donné ma voix
Cette terre chante
À travers moi
Il m’a fallu
Parcourir le monde entier
Pour finalement revenir
Sur mes pas, te retrouver
Ce territoire coule dans mes veines
Ce paysage habite mes rêves
Le vent de l’est m’a donné ma voix
Ses mystères chantent
À travers moi

Who Are You Truly?

Who Are You Truly?
Praying for the snow
Praying for the cold
Praying for a storm to wash away it all…
A mystery as wide
As the darkness of the night
Let me dance in the shadows
Another little while
We’re diving we’re digging
Deep within the earth
Trying to uncover
Trying to unlearn
All the stories that they told you
Of who we’re meant to be
The only thing you need to know
In order to be free
Who are you truly?
Praying for the snow
Praying for the cold
Praying for a storm to wash away….

Oser Chavirer
s’arrêter…juste là.
Pour plonger par en dedans
M’aimer sans attente
M’aimer sans exigence
Me donner tout ce qu’il faut
Pour oser chavirer
Pour oser chavirer…
Pour oser chavirer
Oser chavirer
Me bercer dans mes bras
Me reconnaître
Au plus profond de moi
Danser mes tempêtes
Et rire de mes naufrages
Me donner tout ce qu’il faut
Pour oser chavirer
Pour oser chavirer…
Pour oser chavirer
Oser chavirer

Waves Are Coming In
the waves are coming in
the waves are coming in…
i will rise, i will fall i will listen…
as the waves are coming in
the waves are coming in
i will rise, I will fall, I will give in…
as the waves are coming in
there once was a maiden who lived all alone
she lived all alone on the shore oh
no one could she find for to calm her sweet mind
but to wander alone on the shore, shore, shore
to wander alone on the shore oh…..
the waves are coming in
the waves are coming in…
i will rise, i will fall i will listen…
as the waves are coming in
the waves are coming in
i will rise, I will fall, I will give in…
as the waves are coming in
tá an taoide ag líonadh
éireoidh mé, titfidh mé, éistfidh mé
is an taoide ag líonadh
éireoidh mé, titfidh mé, géillfidh mé
is an taoide ag líonadh

Wash Me Clean
Don’t ask me where I’ve been,
As where my heart is
As I travel through each day I find my home
In the breath between each step there is a moment
Where the troubles of this world all seem to fade
Until they’re gone…
Don’t ask my what I’ve done,
Ask what I cling to
When I’m kneeling by the side of my own sorrow
And i long to disappear beneath the waves
Where we are free
And there is peace
And I dont worry ‘bout the children of tomorrow
‘Cause we are free
And there is peace
And any change we choose make is possible
it’s already begun…
Don’t ask how far I’ve come
Sit there in silence
Let the earth beneath our feet speak for itself
We’re all so caught up in our own importance
We don’t hear the stories stones and stars may tell…
Where we are free
And there is peace
And I don't worry ‘bout the children of tomorrow
‘Cause we are free
And there is peace
And any change we choose make is possible, probable
Cause we are free
And there is peace
And any change we choose to make is possible…
it’s already begun.
Wash me clean
Or let me be
Wash me clean
Or let me be…

Reborn
In the morning there will be a chorus
Singing out to the dawn
In the morning there will a chorus
Singing out, loud and long
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills & everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
You are reborn
Oooo….
Walking and wading
Through times that keep changing
Following the road written on your soul
These dreams that you’ve woven
Slowly unfolding
Learning to live and let go…
So go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills & everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
You are reborn

Pioneer's Spirit

Pioneer’s Spirit
The moon, the sun our only guide
We traveled on these rivers wide
This place not named, no voices heard
But the gentle singing of the birds
Then suddenly with restful sigh
This is the place we live and die
We toiled the soil and built the mills
We did once walk these rolling hills
The tree became our first abode
We scratched out pathways that now are roads
With aching back and gentle sigh
This is the place we live and die
To you, dear friends, remember us
We have so long been gone
These hundred years we’ve rested here
In sunset and in dawn
Won’t you dear friends, remember us
We have so long been gone
These hundred years we’ve rested here
In sunset and in dawn

Une Place Ici

Une place Ici
Aujourd’hui, je me réveil
Je remercie mes ancêtres
Et la lueur du soleil
Qui sans cesse me répète
“Enracine-toi, laisse-toi aller,
La tête dans les nuages, les pieds bien ancrés”
Sous le toit de l’amour
Dans la maison du présent
J’accueille l’incertitude, j’ouvre mes bras
Ohhh….
À force de creuser, de faire face à la noirceur
De chercher ma lumière à l'extérieur
Partie sur le vent
En quête d’appartenance
Pour finir par le trouver
Au fond de moi
Et dans mes rêves, les montagnes me rappellent
J’ai une place ici sur terre… dans mes rêves, les montagnes me rappellent
J’ai une place ici…
En chacun de nous
Un grain de l’essentiel
Semé par les étoiles dans nos corps de matières
Et dans le silence
Nos coeurs s’entendent
Dans les lignes de tes mains,
L’histoire et l’avenir de mon âme…
Et dans mes rêves, les montagnes me rappellent
J’ai une place ici sur terre…
dans mes rêves, les montagnes me rappellent
J’ai une place ici…
Ohhh…
“Enracine-toi, laisse-toi aller,
La tête dans les nuages, les pieds bien ancrés”
Sous le toit de l’amour
Dans la maison du présent
J’accueille l’incertitude, j’ouvre mes bras

I Choose Love

I Choose Love
Oh, darling
Feels like I’ve known you a lifetime
And oh, darling
You know I’ve never been the patient kind
But I’ll try, oh how I’ll try
But I’ll try, oh how I’ll try…
I loved you enough
To let you go
If you need me to you know,
If you need me to you know
I want you to want me,
But most of all I want our hearts to meet
Freely
So I choose love
I choose love
& love chooses me
Every time…
love chooses me
Every time…
something in your and something in me
Already know all that we could be
But timing is everything,
‘Least that’s what they say
So all I can do
Is sit here and say
“I choose love,
I choose love…
I choose love,
I choose love…
& love chooses me
Every time…
love chooses me
Every time…
Love chooses me every time I choose Love.

Si Jamais
La neige
qui nous couvre
Endors nos corps, nos coeurs
déjà
aux ralentis
On danse
Avec le vide
Et l’oubli
Vêtue de silence
Le feu de la vie
Au creux de nos ventres et
Si jamais tu veux aller
Là où tout est à imaginer
Si jamais tu veux venir
Là où tout est à reconstruire
Si jamais tu veux oser
Je t’attends au bord d’un rêve
Et si jamais tu veux venir
Je t’attends au bord
De l’avenir…
La vie t’appelle
Et te repousse
L’amour, la mort, la magie, la méfiance
Et les doutes
Il serait
Souvent
Si facile
Se mettre en rang, suivre le courant
Pour le mieux ou pour le pire…
Mais si jamais tu veux aller
Là où tout est à imaginer
Si jamais tu veux venir
Là où tout est à reconstruire
Si jamais tu veux oser
Je t’attends au bord d’un rêve
Et si jamais tu veux venir
Je t’attends au bord
De l’avenir…

Migration

Migration
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground
And we have only one life to discover how
And now I know why the caged bird sings
‘Cause through my voice, I was given wings
And every day I dance with the leering ghosts
Of every woman’s eyes that have looked in to mine with a helpless hope
Asking “why do I feel so old?”
“Why, after centuries have gone by,
Are our bodies still being bought and sold?
Why?
Oh why?
& there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
And we are leaving,
We are leaving
We are leaving
We are leaving…
We are leaving behind a civilization that finds it’s strength
On the bent backs of our mothers, our sisters, our
Lovers are leaving the homes of the self-proclaimed masters,
Still so convinced they own us, body and soul
But we are leaving behind the whole history of a mankind
Built on the bones of a billion forgotten, murdered women
Shedding the shackles of fear and shame to let our flames grow
Into the wildfires that once burned bright
In the eyes of every earth child
We are walking out the doors of institutions and homes made prisons by the abusers waiting hand and the traps of a damaged language, laced with the premises of dominance,
We are leaving…
& there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
there’s a river of birds
In migration
A nation of women with wings
And we are leaving,
We are leaving
We are leaving
We are leaving…
