Take Off Your Shoes (Refrain) Circle of Power, Rings of Fire, echoes of ancient song; Shadows and light caress this place. Ferns dance with joy in the wind.
Mountains so high and caves so deep, hot springs and mounds of stone; ©1998 by Jan Novotka’s Music LLC (ASCAP). All rights reserved. Ballad of the Universe Once upon a time all there was, was emptiness, nothingness and darkness;
night prevailed. Billions of years had past. The galaxies were happy dancing through the
cosmos side by side. Then all of a sudden a star lit the heavens, outshining
the Milky Way. Five billion years ago the planets danced around the sun, spiraling in
circles, laughing, having fun! The Earth laughed so hard that she took all
off guard and brought forth a new day! Ocean life evoked corals, clams and starfish, sponges, spiders, leeches,
wiggly worms. The dance of life progressed; mammals running everywhere, flowers in the
meadow; birds in the air. Amidst all this wonder there came a great thunder
announcing a new day! What a miracle! The Universe is thinking, ©1995 by Jan Novotka’s Music LLC (ASCAP). All rights reserved. Sacred Fire Sacred Fire, burning before me; ©1994 by Jan Novotka’s Music LLC (ASCAP). All rights reserved. Prayer to the Four Directions We greet the East, the bringer of day, Grandfather Sun, burning so
bright! We greet the South, protector of land. Grandmother Earth, life-giving
soil! We greet the West, spirit of the sea, Grandmother Ocean, womb of all
Life! We greet the North, Breath of all life, Grandfather Sky, refreshing cool
breeze! ©1994 by Jan Novotka’s Music LLC (ASCAP). All rights reserved. Holy Embrace There is a curvature in the universe, a curvature holding all. It is a holy embrace. It is a holy embrace, a holy embrace holding all. It is an arm of love. It is an arm of love, an arm of love holding all. We’re in a holy embrace. We’re in a holy embrace, a holy embrace holding all. There is a curvature in the universe, a curvature holding all. ©1994 by Jan Novotka’s Music LLC (ASCAP). All rights reserved. A Farewell Blessing Spirit of Life, remain in this land.
