Mourning Dove  by Wendy Luella Perkins   I awoke to the coos  of a mourning dove a mourning dove,  a mourning dove; and her sad, sweet song  drifted down from above drifted down from above,  drifted down from above​.   106. Don’t Numb to This  by Abigail Bengson   Don’t numb to this,  don’t numb it out. Let it all flow in and out. ​You’re strong enough  to feel it all, ​and keep your heart alive.   Stay soft to this,  don’t numb it out. ​Let yourself breathe in and out. You’re strong enough  to feel it all, and keep your heart alive. ​I said,   Don’t numb to this,  don’t numb it out, Let yourself breathe in and out, You’re strong enough  to feel it all and it’ll keep your heart alive. I said,   Don’t numb to this,  don’t block it out, Let it all flow in and out, You’re strong enough  to feel it all, and it’ll keep your heart alive.   145. Hold On  with guest Aaron Johnson By Rev. Cleophus Robinson, Jr., 1980   Hold on (sing on, love on, march on) ​just a little while longer ​Everything will be all right   10. I Trust My Roots  with guest Samara Jade    I trust my roots *to know where to go* (3x) I trust my roots *to know where to go* down, down into the earth.   Chorus: Down, down into the earth,  intertwining with all beings, I'm seeing in every direction;  going down, down into the earth, I'll send a message on the  world-wide-web of interconnection.   *to anchor me deep* *to reach what I need* *to share what I got* *to lead me to love* *to connect us as one* ("our" roots)   93. Breathe Along with Life  by Chloe Vispap-Rich   Mark out your golden lines Create your golden times Breathe along with life Away you go. Away you go, Away you go, Breathe along with life Away you go.   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
