We all come from the Goddess....

I just wanted to share that this song that I learned from Missy has been coming to me lately and I actually am using my looping machine to sing it. I got this machine 2 months ago and have been writing my own songs/music using my voice alone. I create harmonies and different layers of voices. Missy must have inspired me because I love how this songs sounds using the machine.

We all come from the Goddess
And to her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the Ocean

Wow,
I just googled the lyrics to make sure I was getting them right, and I didn't even know there was more to this song!
Check it out!

We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.

Hoof and Horn, Hoof and Horn
All that dies shall be reborn
Corn and Grain, Corn and Grain
All that falls shall rise again

(Chorus)

Sage and Crone, Sage and Crone,
Wisdom's gift shall be our own.
Crone and Sage, Crone and Sage,
Wisdom is the gift of age.

Note: This is the version on my CD, sung by Moving Breath.
Another version follows:

We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we shall return,
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the ocean.

Hoof and horn, Hoof and horn
All that dies shall be reborn
Fire and rain, Fire and rain
All that dies shall live again

Chorus

Air and earth, Air and earth
All that dies shall have new birth
Corn and grain, Corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again

This is really amazing, because the "performance' (which I like to think more of a a healing ritual) that I am putting together is all about the cycle of death and rebirth, and I didn't even know about those other lyrics.

    Thanks Victoria, that was really cool. I was going to say that "someone" posted a vid of Missy doing that. When I looked down the threads, it turns out that someone was me...

    Here is that thread, someone had posted this on the HBR list.

      Thanks so much for re-posting this Greg, I got a little behind on posts there for a while, but I'm back now! :)
      It is really timely for me to be seeing this video of Missy.

        I *love* this song-chant. On the quilt we made at Missy's Life Celebration in Salt Lake, that song is what I added. I get chills every time I think of it. At the time, I didn't even know if Missy knew that song, but it kept running through my head and seemed appropriate. And Victoria, I think it was there as I was placing the raindrop on the quilt that you told me Missy taught you that song!

        I've done the Hoof and Horn chant before, but never in conjunction with the Goddess part - can't wait to sing them together next time! The version I have heard for Hoof and Horn:

        Hoof and horn, hoof and horn,
        all that dies shall be reborn.
        Wine and grain, wine and grain,
        all that's cut shall rise again.

        bright blessings,
        Moss
