I wrote this song many years ago when going through a time of re-birth and transformation.
I enter this cave of darkness fear gripping my body and soul.
I cry in the night for her that may hear her child lying dying in the cold.
I scratch and i screech and i try to escape this dark space here in my soul-
But there’s no run and there’s no where to hide
I’m here all alone in the dark
Then she comes to me and she takes hold my hand
And sings me a beautiful song.
‘Child of the earth you have magic in your bones
Live your magic, walk your talk
Be the path you’d walk upon
I am your mother and I am with you
So leave your fear behind you
Leave your tears behind.’
The link to my past had to sever
A sacrifice to be made
So I cut away the 54 locks on my head
To earth, air, fire, water I gave
‘Child of the earth you have magic in your bones
Live your magic, walk your talk
Be the path you’d walk upon
I am your mother and I am with you
So leave your fear behind you
Leave your tears behind.’
I am the path of myself
I walk on
She lights and warms my way
I know I will ne’er again stray
‘Child of the earth you have magic in your bones
Live your magic, walk your talk
Be the path you’d walk upon
I am your mother and I am with you
So leave your fear behind you
Leave your tears behind.’
