about

This song was inspired by the strong and loving female community thriving in Maritime art scene. It is a shout out to all the beautiful people I've known and the innate love, compassion and creativity I believe all humans are capable of.

lyrics

I’ve been sitting, sitting, sitting on a cold stone floor.
I’ve been knitting knitting knitting stitches, four by four.
I will finish as I can’t sit no more
then we’ll swaddle up your babe just like our mother’s did before.

I am bleeding bleeding bleeding when I have no wound.
I am heading heading echoes of an ancient tune.
Do you notice that you house a sweet cocoon.
Will you join and celebrate the changing of the moon?

It flows flows flows within us, we were made to care.
It grows grows grows this knowledge, braided in our hair.
What source it runs from, I know not where.
I don’t need to know to know that we are Mama Bears.

We are like fire burning through the leaves.
Beneath detritus wait the dormant seeds.
Waiting to taste the life this planet weaves.
Remove the old and the new thing breathes.

We are a river running deep underground.
Marching forward to that rhythmic sound.
We offer freely this peace that we have found.
Surrender to that current and you will not drown.

There’s a steady steady pounding here within our veins.
It’s a heady heady concept, we’re all filled the same.
The same solution that makes up the sea and rain.
When we’re moving on it is these things that will remain.
