2. Put Your Roots Down

by Molly Hartwell

Put your roots down,

put your feet on the ground,

can you hear what she says

when you listen?

(2x)

‘Cause the

sound of the river,

as it moves across the stone

is the

same sound as the

blood in your body

as it moves across your bones.

Are you listening?

99. Turning Wheel

by Lisa Littlebird

There’s a wheel that is turning,

calling me into my power.

There’s a wheel that is turning,

calling me into my voice.

It’s turning, we’re learning

to stand inside our hearts.

It’s turning, we’re learning

to stand in love.

I will not be silent.

121. Make Good Trouble

by Elizabeth Melvin

words inspired by John Lewis

Stand up and make good trouble

Speak up and make good trouble

Get up and make good trouble

Rise up and make good trouble

Never, ever be afraid

to make some noise, make some noise

This is the struggle,

the struggle of a lifetime

(Make good trouble)

86. We Were Made For These Times

text by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

music by Angela Gabriel

Don’t lose heart,

We were made for these times.

(3x)

Show your soul,

it shines like gold in these dark times.

Don’t lose hope….

Don’t give up….

46. We Are The Way

by Christine Kick

Celebrate the difference, celebrate the distance,

celebrate the love, celebrate this brand new

way. We are the way.

We are the way… we are the way!!!

All night and every day

we bring the love, we bring the love.
