Dazzle me, call to me, 

Break me to heal. 

Break loose from the snare, 

What else can I feel? 

Shadows move with me 

Release them to ground. 

As time opens up 

For love to abound. 

The center of spiral 

Is with us right now. 

Long time ago, cut off at my knees 

Broke all our minds 

As they killed off the bees. 

Circle of my hand, roll of my hips 

Flow both the love from my heart with a kiss 

Nothing is lost, wholeness is gained 

As the power from feet rises again. 

So twirl and swirl, 

Dance through the dream 

To knit up the time 

So we all can be seen. 

Sweep out the cobwebs 

Ache loose the pain. 

Sing praise to all 

Goodness Without any shame. 

The dance never stops, 

The dance never slows, 

We might change the beat 

But never The…heat.
