Green Book Of Meditations Volume 6 The Books of Songs - Student ...

So, here we are again
going our separate ways
on paths that come back again
learning to find our ways
Green, the freshness of Earth
your bare feet in the springtime
you've walked this path beginning, no end
the fire's burning a beat so quickening
no more advise
the fire's where it all starts
So, here we are again
trying to become One
when we have won
we learn we are all one
In nature now
lies an energy so hot
from the Earth it bursts forth
energy balls to the top
releasing from the Earth's core
healing rays that wont stop
then rushes up as before,
the red dragon flies up
Above in the trees voices are singing
of the freedom you'll find
when you find yourself there
so clear as the stars
your vision unfolds
your true self inside the heart holds
I Am a Man of Constant Borrow

Soggy Bottom Boys---I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow Feat.
Dan Tyminski taken from the “O Brother Where Art Thou”
musical 2001, which is an Appalachian version of The Illiad and
the Odyssey. Soundtrack is marvelous. This song won a grammy
for blue-grass, I believe. Long beard optional. Sorry for sexist
“man,” but, feel free to add “grrl” or whatever one-syllable word
defines you.

(INTRO CHORUS In constant borrow through his days )
I am a man of constant borrow
I’ve found wisdom in most faiths
I bid farewell to Minnesota
The place where I was taught and raised
(CHORUS: The place where he was taught and raised)
For twelve long years I’ve been at study
Much over-lap here on earth I found.
Though, in this world I’m bound to ramble
I have the gods to guide me now.
(CHORUS: He has the gods to guide him now.)
It’s fare thee well my old beliefs
You won’t see me again in your church
397
But, I’m bound to glean from religions
Until I die, I must still search.
(CHORUS: Until he dies, he must still search)
I’ve been to deep ocean, hill and valley
Not knowing just where my path lay
But I’ll keep my ear to the Earth-Mother
Cause sky, fish n’ trees have a lot to say.
(CHORUS: Cause sky, fish n’ trees have a lot to say.)
Maybe your priests think I can’t get stranger
My faith is well thunk to the core
But it is quite simple in its tenets
Some times less really is a lot more.
(CHORUS: Sometimes less really is a lot more.)
Spring Time is on the Rise

This would be an excellent invocation for a Druid Ritual, note
that “Spring” in the chorus doesn’t scat well, so you have to fit it
into the following drawn out “time” on the upbeat.
Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
Now the Gods knows that we hate to be cold.
So spring'll come skipping back, it'll come running back
It'll come blazing back to us.
Yeah, Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
You're searching for good times, but just wait and see
It'll come blazing back...
Go ahead, baby, go ahead. Go ahead and set up the plough
And baby, plant anything your heart desires
Remember, it'll always be back again
And I know like the Gods told you so many times before
Spring’s gonna come back
Yeah, it’s gonna come back, baby
Shinin', yeah, shinin' right in the grove, yeah!
Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
Spring Time is on the rise (Yes it is)
Cause it’s got the real warmth, the kind that we need
It'll come blazing back...
Spring, time, time time is on the rise (Yes it is)
I said, Spring time, time, time is on the rise (Yes it is)
I said, Spring time, time, time is on the rise
