Lryics for FEBRUARy 15
HEART OF A WARRIOR
Fear holds no sway in the heart of a warrior
She dances empty-handed into the fray
Rivers of laughter to temper the shadows
From life’s invitation she’ll not turn, not turn, not turn away…
Love is the fire in the heart of a warrior
There in her eyes its flames leap and sway
Those who are warmed there do count themselves blessed
To bask in the warmth of her sunfire, sunfire, sunfire array…
Deep wisdom runs in the heart of this warrior
A curious mind and the words to say
Mysteries fresh from the lips of the angels
The voice of the earth as under our feet she commences to pray…
Grant many gifts to the heart of this warrior
A balance of rest in her rigorous days
Courage to stand forth into her true power
Conviction to know the love all around her is going to stay…
Repeat first verse

Standing on the Shoulders
Rise up, rise up, rooted to the ground
This battle is not a new one
We're standing on the shoulders of those before us.
Rise up, stay tall
We're standing on the shoulders of those before us.
This battle is not a new one
We're standing on the shoulders of those before us.
Rise up, stay tall
We're standing on the shoulders of those before us.
RISE
I will rise with all my daughters, I will rise against my foes
I will rise with all the mothers, I will carry all their woes
I will rise to fight for freedom, I will rise though faced with fears
I will rise against all hatred while my eyes are veiled with tears
I will rise for religious freedom, for a rich diversity
I will rise for all the weary, for each lonely refugee
I will work for all our women who deserve equal pay
I will work for all our children who await a better day
Oh, stand with me
Rise up hand in hand
Oh, stand with me
We will rise to spread love across this bitter land
I will rise for love & justice that we may see a better day
I will rise in peace & service for our world in disarray
I will rise with all my brothers, for all those who cannot stand
I will rise with all our fathers who have lost a home & land
I will rise to build up bridges for this broken world we see
I will tear down walls between us that divide you & me / Everyone
Oh, stand with me
Rise up hand in hand
Oh, stand with me
We will rise to spread love across this bitter land
I will rise!
I will rise with all the mothers, I will carry all their woes
I will rise to fight for freedom, I will rise though faced with fears
I will rise against all hatred while my eyes are veiled with tears
I will rise for religious freedom, for a rich diversity
I will rise for all the weary, for each lonely refugee
I will work for all our women who deserve equal pay
I will work for all our children who await a better day
Oh, stand with me
Rise up hand in hand
Oh, stand with me
We will rise to spread love across this bitter land
I will rise for love & justice that we may see a better day
I will rise in peace & service for our world in disarray
I will rise with all my brothers, for all those who cannot stand
I will rise with all our fathers who have lost a home & land
I will rise to build up bridges for this broken world we see
I will tear down walls between us that divide you & me / Everyone
Oh, stand with me
Rise up hand in hand
Oh, stand with me
We will rise to spread love across this bitter land
I will rise!
