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
