I’ve been taught that women+ everywhere are supposed to pick up their Water Songs and sing to the waters to heal the earth and humanity. In an attempt to make this call from the Elders easier… I’ve written a giveaway Water Song so the Lifegivers everywhere can sing their songs. That means this song has been given to you.
You may not know your people’s water songs or you feel like you don’t have one.
Sing this one. You are welcome.
Just sing with a prayerful heart. Please sing this song and if you desire, translate it into your own language.
You can sing this song to a glass of water (renew.)
You can sing this song to honour a person who may be drowning in sorrow (retreat.)
You can sing this to a dry river bed that hasn’t seen water for several seasons (return.)
You can sing this song to a place where flooding is happening (retreat.)
You can sing this to an ocean full of plastic (renew.)
Just sing it!
Here are the lyrics in English:
“May the waters of me…. Hiy hiy
Sing for the waters of you. Hiy hiy
I offer this prayer and this honouring song.
So the waters right here “retreat” (or “renew” or “return.”)
Retreat. Retreat. Retreat. Retreat. So the waters right here retreat.
