Will you hear our voices / You must awaken
We danced upon the sacred spiral / Of those who came before us

DIVINE HOLY BREATH
Ohm...
Divine holy breath of my being / Mother of life I behold
I am lived by your endless mystery / Sacred heart where I roam

In one sacred moment / One sacred moment
In one sacred moment, dancing free
Holy Mother, embrace me in your love / Holy Father, descending from above
Uniting in blissful harmony / Uniting in blissful harmony...

In one sacred moment / One sacred moment
In one sacred moment...is known...
