LYRICS:
Softening, softening, softening all the hardness
Melting, melting, melting all that’s frozen
Letting go, letting go of the sorrow
Dissolving into love all the shadow
CHORUS
We are woman, we are bringers of life
We are vessels of love, expressions of the divine
Sisters hold my hand, you are stronger than you know
We are opening to love, we are learning how to grow
We hear the call, we are returning we remember
We are like the rose we are stronger than we know x 2
Ancient mother, moving through us
Roots growing deep in our ancestry
Medicine woman, daughter, mother and lover
Reclaiming the power of our ancient memory
CHORUS
Sisters holding hands, in this circle we are held
Sisters holding hand, in this circle we are strong
Sisters holding hands, in this circle we remember
Sisters holding hands, in this circle we belong
We are like the rose we are stronger than we know x 2
