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.’
