[Intro] Hush now— The roots are speaking The mountains remember The waters are turning in their sleep Ancient Mother is awake [Verse 1] She rises through the cedar breath Through molten stone and ocean depth Her pulse returns beneath our feet A primal drum, a living beat She calls the bones back into place She washes grief from every face The old forgotten songs begin To move like thunder through the skin [Pre-Chorus] No longer buried No longer bound Her sacred language Shakes the ground [Chorus] Ancient Mother is awake Every false foundation shakes Wild creation fills her veins Life is pouring through again Ancient Mother, breathe through me Root my body, set me free From the ashes, from the ache Ancient Mother is awake [Verse 2] She is the womb beneath the world The spiral flame, the serpent curled The endless dark that births the sun The many rivers flowing as one She wears the moon upon her brow She does not ask permission now Her tenderness is not defeat Her mercy moves with iron feet [Pre-Chorus] She gathers every scattered part Back to the altar of the heart What was divided now recalls The living Mother within all [Chorus] Ancient Mother is awake Every false foundation shakes Wild creation fills her veins Life is pouring through again Ancient Mother, breathe through me Root my body, set me free From the ashes, from the ache Ancient Mother is awake [Bridge] Wake in the blood Wake in the bone Wake in the places We abandoned as home Wake in the daughters Wake in the sons Wake in the many Remembering one She is not coming She never left She waited beneath Every silence and breath Her voice is the storm Her touch is the rain Her love is the power That breaks every chain [Breakdown] Mother of mountain Mother of sea Mother of fire Remember through me Mother of darkness Mother of dawn What was forgotten Is never truly gone Rise, rise Through the body of Earth Rise, rise Through the gates of rebirth Rise, rise Let the old world shake Ancient Mother Ancient Mother Ancient Mother is awake [Final Chorus] Ancient Mother is awake Every sleeping heart now shakes Sacred rivers flood the plain Golden life returns again Ancient Mother, move through me Make my body sanctuary From the silence, from the ache Ancient Mother is awake Ancient Mother is awake Ancient Mother is awake The womb of worlds begins to sing And all creation remembers spring [Outro] The roots are speaking The waters know The Mother rises From below Not in anger Not in fear But in the power That life is here Ancient Mother is awake
