Drum Circle Songs
Ancient Mother
(slow beat)
Ancient Mother,
I hear you calling.
Ancient Mother,
I hear your song.
Ancient Mother,
Your river’s flowing.
Ancient Mother,
I taste your tears.
Ancient Mother,
I hear you calling.
Ancient Mother,
I hear your song.
Ancient Mother,
Your heart is beating.
Ancient Mother,
I sing your song.
FIRE DANCE
(fast beat)
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Bring those spirits higher!
With the flame that we made
Get your spirits higher!
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Bring those spirits higher
With the flame that we made
Get your spirits higher!
Elemental Chant
(fast beat)
Air breathes, Air blows:
Make the wheel of magic go!
Fire blaze, Fire burn:
Make the wheel of magic turn!
Water bubble, Water boil:
Make the wheel of magic toil!
Earth without, Earth within:
Make the wheel of magic spin!
The Native Americans used drum circles and singing as part of therapy type measures called Sacred Medicine.
