I love this song for its catchy beat and lyrics that make your soul happy. I think this song will help usher in the New Earth as we all sing its truth into reality. I just want to jump up and dance and sing when I listen to it!!!
Originally composed for a student-lead performance, "From The Heart : One Day, One Circle". This song is a prayer for the healing of all nations, an honouring of our past, a visioning of our future, and an acknowledgment of our interconnectedness with the Whole of Life.
A special thanks goes out to the student's of Sequoia school, Mt. Sentinel school, to Andrea Mann and to all community-contributors for their incredible courage, heart, and dedication to bringing forth a vision of reconciliation, healing and hope for us all. Thank you for encouraging each one of us to face and feel that which is deeply uncomfortable with open minds, ears and hearts, as we discover for ourselves the true meaning of reconciliation...one courageous step at a time. This song would not be here if it weren't for these students.
My deep gratitude goes out to the many indigenous wisdom traditions that have so generously blessed and transformed my life - may these wisdom-ways, rooted in profound reverence for the Earth and all Life, continue to provide a sacred template for us to re-member ourselves through, while swiftly encouraging us to reclaim our sovereignty and rightful place in the Greater Hoop.
Finally, I'd like to thank my beloved partner Cassandre for helping me in the wordsmithing of the song, for her steadfast encouragement, and for putting up with me as I oscillated through all the epic ups and downs of the song birthing process! <3
May the truth, beauty and peace in our hearts prevail, and may we find the courage to dance these virtues into our lives now, like never before!
And so it is.

I see a vision one people united
the pain of our past we go re-write it
a long journey home, with a road full of tears
hearts they were broken over the years
land desecrated, taken from those
wise ones, gentle ones, Aho
I know, it's time to face the past
pray for the courage to face the facts
the white man didnt know he'd turned against his own
and his eyes were blind to other sides of life,
and signs of life, were his to take
and those opposed, were his to break
so how can we forgive what can’t be forgiven?
and honour the wounds survived and inflicted?
we pray today, as we take a bow
may the seeds of peace, awaken now
and over time they grow
as our cultures heal and prosper
and reconciliation across the nations
is up to us to offer
if you feel it in your spirit, if you feel it in your soul
let our hearts then open wide
and hand in hand you know we’ll stand on the land
of the Kootenays side by side
So we dance for a peaceful day
the song in our hearts it lights the way
Rainbow warriors of the earth
together now we are rebirthed
and we dance for a peaceful day
to heal all relations, all life Sacred
Rainbow Warriors light the way
the ancestors they dance today
eagle in the sky now show us the way
carry our prayers, strengthen our faith
Mother Earth now, please show us the way
to emerge as one People (hey)
tree with your roots so ancient, deep
teach us to bow to the mystery
stream with your waters flowing free
down from the mountains to the sea
to the elders, help us find our way
share in your wisdom, help us to pray
to the youth, may you know your truth
may the way be clear, we are here for you
and to the lands, help us understand
were one thread in the web of life
and to the People, who hear these words
may our voices now unite
and together, may we sing a song
a song so free so true
we remember, we all belong
we're One in the world wide Hoop (hoo)
So we dance for a peaceful day
the song in our hearts it lights the way
Rainbow warriors of the earth
together now we are rebirthed
and we dance for a peaceful day
to heal all relations, all life Sacred
Rainbow Warriors light the way
the ancestors they dance today
so rise people rise
hear the ancient sound
it’s carried on the wind
it’s rising from the ground
as we heed the sacred call
gather round this golden fire
we feed the flames our grief and pain
our heart’s are lifted higher
to the depths that we feel our wound
we will open and bloom
to the depths that we feel our pain
we will know strength, once again
to the the depths that we own our part
to end the war within
we free the past, we heal the lands
we bless the future generations
so dream your dream it’s so clear
yes go dream your dream with no fear
you are beautiful, you are powerful
you know exactly why you are here
So dream your dream it’s so clear
yes lets dream our dream with no fear
we are beautiful, we are powerful
we know exactly why we are here
So we dance for a peaceful day
the song in our hearts it lights the way
Rainbow warriors of the earth
together now we are rebirthed
and we dance for a peaceful day
to heal all relations, all life Sacred
Rainbow Warriors light the way
the ancestors they dance today
so let us keep on dancing, dancing for Peace...
as we attune to the rhythm, the rhythm that beats...
in my heart... in your heart...in our hearts....
