    1.A.1 Dance of Dreams by Tegwyn  (c)
    246k


    I got something to tell you
    I got something to tell you
    Now how do I explain
    Don't go thinking I'm insanely sane
    But maybe things ain't quite what they seem
    Let me tell you about the people in my dreams
    'Cause they play like the pixies
    And they fly like the fairies
    They make the wishes of the wizards
    And they make love like the mermaids of the morning.
    It's the place where stardust rains
    And the children fly with the flames
    And the lovers dance from cloud to cloud
    Singing souls out loud
    {chorus}
    It's the place I link to your face
    There are nice people there
    They wear flowers in their hair
    And they dance and they sing
    living the life they love
    {chorus}
    So maybe things are quite as they seem
    As we're dancing the dance of dreams
    'Cause we play like the pixies
    And we fly like the fairies
    We make the wishes of the wizards
    And then we'll make love like the mermaids of the morning.

    I see the moon
    and the moon sees me
    in crystal clear connected ?/ sea
    oceans of energy rise and fall
    under the warm silver shining ss????? silken shining
    and as dawn cuts free earth
    from night time moon dance
    we are free free falling
    in love we are falling
    in love

    1.A.3 Loom of 13 Moons by Willow (c)

    Truth may be found below or above
    With my feet on the ground
    and my head full of love
    So show me the path, as it lies in between
    The concrete destruction and the life oozing green
    Ways between worlds, to fly high - to swim deep
    From the dank, dark wood realm,
    to the stone - mason's keep
    Bridging the gap between black and the white
    The sun beams and moon rays of daytime and night
    The arc of a Rainbow soars way past beyond
    As a circle's completed, Disk, Sword, Cup and Wand
    For my heart is my truth and my mind but a tool
    To maintain the mainstay of the green manic fools
    For my mind stands to serve me, to fulfil my truth
    As I dance on through Eden in eternity's youth
    A serpent song sounding of birth's sweet caress
    To rise above chaos in the life I possess
    Well, the spheres they keep turning, the seasons move in
    Between I stand strong now, for my world to begin
    To sing a truth sharing my love for the Earth
    To celebrate life and the joy of my birth
    To drum out my heart as the healing takes hold
    For some it is said, shine a light pure as gold
    So waken deer soul for the dance to begin
    In this marriage of starlight and my fire from within
    Well I came to this realm from ways high above -
    To learn of the Earth song and to learn to be love

    1.A.4 Rainbow by Lee Tree (c)


    singing sounds of strings
    echo intertwined with floating flutes
    and the silences in between
    sing their own refrain
    as we weave our musical webs
    and connect ..among their threads
    with half remembered lifetimes
    yet come
    we are one

    1.A.6 From the Mother by Dongas Tribe - Largh(c)
    ~ 470k

    {chorus: }
    From the Mother we come {Dm,C}
    From the Mother we come {Dm,C}
    From the Mother we come {Dm,C}
    And to the mother we shall return {C,Dm}
    And to the mother we shall return {C,Dm}
    A spark of life is a fibre in the thread {Dm,Gm}
    that is spun by the spinners, as the spindle of the earth. {C,Dm,C,Dm}
    And all our lives are the threads from the spinners
    That were woven by the weavers in the time before our birth
    We and nature are one
    Sister Moon, Brother Sun
    From the Mother we come
    And to the mother we shall return
    And to the mother we shall return
    We are life, and so we are the spinners
    And we are the weavers on this loom of universe
    And we shall grow into people of knowing
    Into people of feeling, into people of the Earth

    1.A.7 The Walking Along Song by Josh (c)
    ~ 72k ~


    Walking along the ancient ridgeways
    of Wessex with my friends
    we watched the sun rise
    we watched the sun set
    we watched it rising again
    Over downs
    over meadows
    through woodland
    and down groves
    we stop a while to rest our heads
    then its on we go
    Walking along the ancient footpaths
    of Wessex with my friends
    we walked through winter we walked through spring
    now it's summer again
    Some people will tell you its just a romantic ideal
    but we are here to show you all that you can make it real
    Walking along the ancient footpaths of England with my friends
    we watched the moon waxing
    we watched the moon waning
    we watched her waxing again
    Over stiles and over fences
    no boundaries do we take
    we gather upon the ancient high places
    to celebrate with mead and cake
    Walking along the ancient ridgeways of Wessex
    with my friends
    we walk through winter we walk the spring now its autumn again
    And some people would like to make it hard to live this way
    but were a young and growing tribe
    getting stronger every day
    We're walking along the ancient footpaths of England with our friends
    we walk through winter we walk through spring
    here comes winter again
    Walking along the ancient footpaths of England with my friends
    we watched the sun rise we watched the sun set
    we watched it rising again.

    1.A.A.9 Real Progress in 2020 by Quollobollox
    friends we will travel in time in this next scene
    to ??? time
    to the future where ..???nature is a dream
    if you don't like the vision and think that its strange
    now is the time
    then its up to you
    to implement change
    its wet, its green, its natural,
    and I really don't like it
    I'm glad we had the sense to quell
    the noise of stinging insects.
    There were static monsters called mountains once
    that too which just took up loads of space
    did nothing to justify their existence
    a total unproductive waste
    we figured they were a big distraction
    people walked aimlessly on the mountain
    with no thoughts at all of the real world
    and you got all this noisy springtime chirping
    from germy things that shat on you called birds
    I appreciate these are unknown words
    and real trees they had dying leaves
    they didn't glow neon all year round
    if you lost you way at night in a woo ?????
    a woodland site it was really dark you might never be found
    and there were stinging nettles
    and uneven ground toxic with mud and swampy in parts
    and the strange wild wetness of rivers flowing free
    that children could drown in every so easily
    damn they broke some parents hearts
    and there was strange coloured children as dark as the night
    who'd eat slug fodder grown with shit from bulls
    they weren't all beautifully uniform white
    with clean blond hair and blue eyes bright
    strengthened by eating nice clean chemicals
    and everything was spoiled by a dazzle of colours
    how can you think straight. with brain overwhelmed?
    it was so bad you had to close your eyes just to sleep
    imagine that now in these days of real progress
    and so tormented by different fragrances
    what's a fragrance did I hear you say
    its an invading microbe that squatted nostrils
    and colonised the human brain
    it stopped thoughts being. healthily uniform mutual
    and probably triggered nothing but pain
    so remember kids
    beware black magic
    if it's wet and green and natural trash it
    those were terrible days
    when mothers were female
    they bled endlessly too
    before we cured it
    because they danced so much then like fools
    there was always some woman bleeding pools
    and she had all these eggs
    just going to waste
    before we drew up the proper laboratory rules
    governing mobile ovum factories
    which happily soon won't even need feeding
    no danger now of unsterilised breeding

    There was an old woman
    tossed up in a basket
    seventeen times as high as the moon
    where she was going I couldn't but ask it
    for in her hand she carried a broom
    Old woman old woman old woman quouth I
    where are you going to high up so high
    to brush the cobwebs from out of the sky
    may I go with thee, bye bye and bye

    ~ 123k ~

    It's difficult to swallow a bitter pill
    like the so called criminal justice bill
    the right to party the right to rave
    all withdrawn we must behave
    and it's against the law
    to live outside
    gypsies and travellers now must hide
    the right to silence has now been withdrawn
    longer batons make us conform
    road protesters can be arrested
    for trying to save what the governments left us
    we must be fluffy that don't mean feeble
    win this battle cos were just people
    just people
    ordinary people like you and me, get out on the street
    got jobs and everything, families
    just people
    ordinary people
    labels and tags just make us stronger
    major wont be there much longer
    difficult to swallow a bitter pill
    like the so called criminal justice pill
    so don't swallow

    When knights of old recover
    sweep these trees clean to the green
    rise from the iron that slew us down
    gather round tables again
    When knights of old remember
    dragons dwell in this land
    Gweneveire she sheds a tear
    and knights she does command
    Dragon eyes glowing
    fire on beacons burning
    but creature crystal pulsing sings
    and we do learn the song
    la la la la la la la la la la
    la la la la la la la
    Now Arthur walks once more
    Merlin stirs in his sleep
    we found his work begun long ago
    and we wend it in the world
    Dragon eyes glowing
    fire on beacons burning
    the creature crystal pulsing sings
    and we do sing the song
    la la la
    creature crystal pulsing sings
    we do sing the song

    1.B.1 Time by Hatty (c)
    ~ 15k ~


    Once upon a time there was no time
    except night time and day time
    Then somebody put numbers
    where the sun was
    and time became endless
    instead of just here and now time
    Time began to pass
    sometimes slowly, sometimes fast
    sometimes there wasn't enough time
    and other times time was vast
    There became a time to live and a time to die
    and an old father time
    with his beady eye on those who,
    though they were watching time fly
    might not know it was their time to die
    People learned all about the beginning of time
    but became afraid about the end
    because to them endings were sad
    even though those they left behind
    still had time yet to live
    And when they died
    their time wasn't really up
    it just became timeless
    like it was once upon a time
    when there only was night time and daytime
    before anyone had put numbers where the sun was

    1.B.2 A Whisper on the Breeze by Paul Gill (c)
    ~ 64k ~

    A whisper on the breeze,
    A sigh among the trees,
    An ancient legend rises from his slumber.
    New life born of old,
    The horns of Herne unfold,
    The Hunter is abroad again.
    Running with the deer
    The Hunter's horn we hear,
    The stillness of the valley is broken.
    The guardian of the forest has awoken.
    Protector of the trees,
    A face among the leaves,
    The hooded man shall draw his bow once more.
    Clothed all in green,
    He stalks the woods unseen,
    But he appears to lead our dance each springtime.
    Sap flows through his veins,
    His heart of oak is made.
    In autumn with the dying leaves he falls,
    But come the springtime he will rise up tall.
    {chorus: }
    Have you heard the sounding of your name upon the breeze?
    Have you heard him calling for his people are in need?,
    The forests they are falling, will you heed their call?
    The forests they are calling, for they need us...
    else they fall.
    A mighty oak has grown
    Where an acorn he once sowed,
    Through centuries of storms it has stood firm.
    Witness to an age,
    A wise but silent sage,
    reaching for the sun that gives it life.
    But beauty so long held
    Is in an instant felled,
    The splintering of ancient limbs resounds
    And the crown of emerald green comes crashing down.
    {chorus: }
    Have you heard the sounding of your name upon the breeze?
    Have you heard him calling for his people are in need?,
    The forests they are falling, will you heed their call?
    The forests they are calling, for they need us...
    else they fall.
    {chorus: }
    Have you heard the sounding of your name upon the breeze?
    Have you heard him calling for his people are in need?,
    The forests they are falling, will you heed their call?
    The forests they are calling, for they need us...
    They need us one and all.
    else they fall.
    else they fall.
    A whisper on the breeze,
    A sigh among the Trees,
    The people are rising from their slumber.

    1.B.3 Big Strong Woman by Laura , Sky and Jo (c)


    I have walked upon these hillsides
    since I first was my mother's daughter
    and you just can't take these hills away without me fighting
    You may drive your big machine
    but I was born a big strong woman
    and you just can't take these hills away without me fighting
    This old land's been walked by many people
    some died young and some still living
    if you think you've come to take these hills
    well then I'm not here to give 'em
    I have walked upon these woodlands
    since I first was my mother's daughter
    and you just can't take these trees away without me fighting
    You may drive your big machine
    but I was born a big strong woman
    and you just can't take these trees away without me fighting
    This old land's been walked by many people
    some died young and some still living

    1.B.4 A Time to Shine by Rose (c)

    When I was just a little girl
    I would cry for all my worth
    to see a creature lying dead
    where a road cut through the earth

    And as I grew into my teens
    the pain I felt went deeper
    I learnt about the deadly bombs
    and the value of life grew cheaper

    The place I lived was tory blue
    I went to a good school
    my parents thought that I should learn
    not to bend or break the rule

    stay on the path, keep out of here
    you mustn't question why
    just toe the line, do as your told
    and you'll make it by and by

    I wrote a poem about my fears
    of what might become of us
    i didnt know I had the power
    to shout and make a fuss

    the years went by and I grew up
    the rot went on around me
    a wife a mother and a nurse
    I thought that's all I could be

    It wasn't that I didn't care
    but I was ignorant
    of how someone
    who was small like me
    could make a difference now

    that what i could and should have done
    was to make my anger heard
    but I just cried and cried some more
    and uttered not a word

    But now I'm free to go my way
    and grown wiser from the years
    I've moved away from all I know
    to stand and fight my fears

    I know that I am not alone
    that together we can fight
    to live our lives the way we choose
    our basic human right

    the right to live upon the earth
    or travel round our isle
    to make a home in an empty place
    and stay a little while

    the right to gather in a field
    to sing and dance and play
    to know that if we see some wrong
    we can march and have our say

    So now I let them know I care
    my friends have shown me how
    that someone who is small like me
    can make a difference now

    So what I can and I will now do
    is to make my protest heard
    it's time to shine, and shine some more
    'empowerment' is the word

    1.B.5 Eco War by Feth (c)

    THE ECO-WARRIOR SONG

    by Feth


    What did you do in the Eco-Wars, daddy?
    where were you when they tore all the trees down?
    can you tell me why this is so strange to me daddy
    which side of the fence did you stand ?

    you say you cant remember
    i think you just dont want to answer
    did you operate the chainsaws
    that tore into our mother
    did you lay down the compounds that deformed my brother
    selling us all for a wage

    what did you do in the eco wars daddy
    Did you turn your face away - cut yourself off from the flame?
    How bright were the lights that blinded your reason?
    Did you say one man can't make it change?

    Did you stand to meet the people
    as the world began to crumble
    keeping your head down,passing buck round
    waiting for somebody to take responsibility
    damning us all for a wage

    The Third World War is a war against Nature.
    You don't even need a gun in your hand.
    Eco-War is a war, it's against Nature.
    You don't have to fight in some foreign land.
    It's there in your kitchen; it's there in your car.
    It's there in your lungs; it's there in your heart.
    It's there by the roadside - it's there on the front line.
    It's there in the headlines - if you read between the lines.

    What did you do in the Eco-Wars, daddy?
    Did you stand up - did you speak up: "Enough is enough!"
    Was it your voice that shouted? Were you there when it counted?
    Where were you when the tide turned?
    Did you act with honour? Did you think about the future?
    Did you know that one day I'd be standing here with you?
    In the grey days of the past, did you know of?? something better
    Than all their money-mad ways?

    1.B.6 Eco Rap by Nicki (c)

    the green things grow
    let the grey things crumble
    from the pinnacles of power
    let the rich man tumble
    what started as a whisper
    soon become a rumble
    we can soon find the truth
    underneath the jumble
    if they haven't heard
    we gonna spread the word
    let the people know that we can overthrow
    it took me some time to find my voice
    but when I did Ishouted freedom of choice
    take a look at the situation
    seem the whole nation is under sedation
    if you think its strange that we don't change
    get off your arse and start to rearrange
    but don't listen to the preacher
    cos biblical brainwash is all he'll teach to you
    when i found out the words of wisdom
    spoke them out
    but people dissed them
    now i shout
    the words of wisdom
    people stand up
    fight the system
    watch the politicians they're all dead
    what they say has already been said
    prime minister speaks with a forked tongue
    the whole government should have been hung
    no longer how long you listen to the shit
    when you see the whole picture
    it just doesn't fit

    1.B.8 Change In Me by Shannon (c)

    Do you mind if I
    talk with you a while
    I ever need to find myself
    stranger to my whole reflection
    all I ask is that you listen .. to me
    and as the leaves fall swiftly from the trees
    I can feel the autumn on my face
    and as the death of
    someone I have loved
    sinks slowly into my heart

    Change in me, change in me
    I can feel it coming
    change, a change in me
    change in me, change in me
    I can feel
    coming coming coming come...

    feel so small can cigarette seems
    dull in the shame of never reaching for my dreams
    never reaching for my dreams

    ..frozen needs of an abandoned child
    wrecked so tired it's hard to unwean
    some times its hard to believe
    in me
    man she said something has crossed over in me
    and never coming back this way again

    change in me...

    as I move towards
    the love that I have found
    I can see my reflection
    looking back at me
    don't you see, don't you see,
    I will never leave you by in ..
    and I will never abandon ...
    she is me ..
    she is free

    change in me..

    1.B.10 The Enchantment Song by Steve P (c)

    Like a seed
    Nestled in the damp earth
    I stare into the eyes the moon
    Wait for her eyes to fall on me
    And I wait for the dance to begin

    I've tripped and I've fallen
    With my eyes wide open
    Looking straight into your eyes
    Dancing madly ... your soul so timeless
    Two rivers flow down into the sea ???

    I feel the breathing gently weaving
    Strong as ivy in soft wet sunlight
    Drowns my will and it takes forever

    Dawn is just arriving
    we look to the horizon
    The sun it melts the stars out of the sky
    We're dreaming the creation
    From within the mother ocean
    From within the seashell held within our hand

    I feel the breathing gently weaving
    Strong as ivy in soft wet sunlight
    Drowns my will and it takes forever

    1.B.11 Shaman Woman by Gaea (c)

    shamana woman
    shamana woman
    shamana woman
    shaman woman you make the sunshine
    shaman woman you make the dreamtime
    shaman woman you make the medicine wheel go round
    Bright white buffalo woman
    Coming across the plains and the prairies
    Bring in your wisdom
    Bring in your pipes of peace
    four directions
    bringing your pipe of peace
    four directions
    prophecy prophecy calling me

    1.B.12 Titche's Song by Cellidh (c)

    I wish so much so to be a child again
    imagination running wild again
    and age comes creeping slowly up behind you
    a timeless smile standing cold and still
    Thus enforced by will
    tell me
    can you feel this too?
    please please please
    say you do
    to walk in fields of courtyard unexplored
    discover secrets of our hidden hopes
    And age comes creeping slowly up behind you
    a timeless mind
    standing cold and still
    thus enforced by will
    tell me
    can you feel this too
    please please
    say you do
    I wish so much to be a child

    1.B.13 One With the Family by Matt (c)

    I bring you sweet songs and news of the meadowlands
    suns shining daisies and I will make a ground for you
    of nodding head daffodils and sudden sweet showerful
    of grasses green growing and each blade a welcome sight

    and nature she's calling
    and nature she says to me
    come and join hands
    you're one with the family now
    one with the family now

    I bring you sweet suns
    of whisperings of the woodland trees
    of catkins fresh calling
    feel the rising of the sap
    of songbirds their courting and flutter wings they're all around
    of bluebells and carpeting and laughing the magpie folk

    and nature she's calling
    nature she says to me:
    Come and join hands
    you're one with the family now
    one with the family now

    I bring you sweet songs and tales of the morning light
    A beetlebug scrambling, spot ladybirds ambling
    of skylarking singing and dancing in the blue sky
    of bumblebees buzzing make honey for you and I

    And nature she's calling...

    I bring you sweet songs, a love of the sacred earth
    of quick summers gold, and I'll make a crown for you
    of tinkerbells glistening and laughing the pixie folk
    green grows the new growth and heathens reborn again
    heathens reborn again, heathens reborn again
    heathens reborn again
    heathens reborn
