Words & Music by Batya Levine
Breathe, breathe, breathe in
Breathe, breathe out
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Trust in what's coming
Trust in your knowing
It's deeper and wider and holy
Words & Music by Sarina Partridge
Part 1:
I'm gonna dive deep, a little deeper
Into the grit and the mud and the muck
that I don't wanna see
'Cause I think there's a seed,
there's a teacher
There's a pearl in the dark shining!
Part 2:
I will lean into this darkness, this darkness
A seed is shining,
there's a pearl in the dark shining!
Part 3:
Ooooh, shining like a pearl
Ooooh, new leaves unfurl
Ooooh, a new way is possible -
there's a pearl in the dark shining!
Words & Music by Eli Marienthal
Open the ocean wide in us,
open the ocean wide.
Take all the pain inside of us,
take all the pain inside.
Open the ocean wide in us, oh,
open the ocean wide.
Take all the pain inside of us,
take all the pain inside.
Words & Music by Neal Jolly
The beat of the heart in the chest,
The pulsing of blood in the hands,
The in and the out of the breath,
The here, the now, the you.
Words & Music by Elise Witt
When you're feeling dry, there's water in the well. (4x)
No rain from the sky, just a tear in your eye,
all alone, far from home, you roam.
Feeling tired, uninspired, like you're drifting away
from your heart and the part you play.
Words & Music by Sara Stutz
All you need is a quiet moment.
All you need is a quiet moment.
All you need is a quiet moment,
go inside. Go inside.
Breathe deep, breathe deep.
Breathe deep, everything's alright.
