[Female — low, intimate] I came to the circle with my whole heart showing, Feet on the stone, every breath still my own. Gold in the fire, violet in the air, Hands raised before me, witnesses everywhere. I feel a current gathering under my skin— I open my eyes and let the whole world in. [Female — rising] From the earth through my spine, From my heart into my hands, I can feel creation moving As I rise and take my stand. [Both — explosive chorus] The fire answers when I move! The ground holds steady as I bloom! I give my breath, I take my place, I meet the world with open grace. Oh, let it thunder through my bones— I am alive, and I am home! What I receive, I give again: Love moves through me without end. [Female — rhythmic, magnetic] Pulse in my hips, heat in my chest, I loosen my shoulders; I welcome what’s next. I make room for beauty, I make room for change, For wild new forms I could never arrange. A thousand bright lines cross the space between The life that surrounds me and the life I dream. I bring my courage, my work, my care— Creation has hands, and mine are here. [Male — deep, warm] I see how you shine when you’re fully present. Come close enough to hear my breath. I’ll meet you here, with tenderness and truth; There’s so much living left for us to do. [Female] Your eyes meet mine and the rhythm turns deep. [Both] Two living hearts with a world to keep. [Both — chorus, harder] The fire answers when we move! The ground holds steady as we bloom! We give our breath, we take our place, We meet the world with open grace. Oh, let it thunder through our bones— We are alive, and we are home! What we receive, we give again: Love moves through us without end. [Female — whispered over heartbeat] Slow at the base of my spine. Warm in the cradle of my ribs. My body knows this rising— I give it space to live. [Male — close] Feel my hand at the small of your back. [Female] Feel my palm against your heart. [Both — breath building into drums] One breath. One beat. Now let the whole sky start. [Female — fierce, half-sung] I bring water to the thirsty, I bring shelter to the rain. I bring laughter into hardship, I bring tenderness through pain. And when my own hands tremble, I let another hold them too— Creation moves in every direction; I am held, and I hold you. [Both — final chorus, full choir] The fire answers when we move! The ground holds steady as we bloom! We give our breath, we take our place, We meet the world with open grace. Oh, let it thunder through our bones— We are alive, and we are home! What we receive, we give again: Love moves through us without end. [Female — soft, ecstatic] Gold in my hands. Earth beneath my feet. Your heart beside me. And the fire inside me.
