The crow calls, the sun falls; they know the rhythm, the rhythm of it all. (2x)   2. We are the only ones who have forgotten  how to listen, we’re the only ones who have forgotten how to listen. We are the only ones who have forgotten how to listen, the earth  is calling us to open up our ears.   3. Put your hands in the dirt, let’s heal the hurt. The earth is waiting for us to do the work, do the work! (2x)   22. When the Water Is Glass Calm by Paul Barton   1. When the water is glass calm, the stillness cradles life.   2. The sun rises slowly, pealing through the trees, bringing colour to the sky.   3. Listen, listen, to the small sounds of this new day.   194. Hildegard's Song by Barbara McAfee based on words of Hildegard of Bingen There is music in, in all things; but we can't hear it ​until we sing.   118. Listen In by Jennie Pearl Listen in ​Here I am this is my center What is mine, What is mine? We're learning how to reach for each other may we reach may we teach Through the blurred lines, The pain and confusion, may we reach may we teach   60. Just As You Are by Lea Morris Just as you are, without changing a thing. Just as you are, I accept you. I see you, I hear you, I welcome you in; just as you are. Just as you are.   191. Another World Patricia Norton text from My Seditious Heart, p.204  by Arundhati Roy Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?
