The Gathering
|
5:19 |
Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
The preparation begins; soon we will tread unknown ground
as all gather in the moment, suspending fears to the sound of drumming.
We chant, summon the forces of the universe to work.
Everything is taking its right place. |

|
Blessing
|
8:08 |
Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
Verse lyrics, traditional
The moment for leaving has come, those who love us, bless us.
We will be missed; the pull of separation tears us.
Together we will take flight, harness the strength of the path
we have chosen, as our course unravels before us.

| Across Distances |
4:47 |
Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
Distances deceive us, as unknown spaces fill with questions.
The journey is hard, we have travelled far,
blistered and torn, the familiar leaves us, as we face ourselves.
We walk unsteady ground, each alone and afraid
|

|
| Sanctuary |
5:56 |
Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
Verse lyrics, traditional
The heat is relentless, there is no end and our will is tested.
We find the coolness of sanctuary, rest because we must rest,
the journey has been long, our bodies and minds are worn.
We surrender ourselves to the world.

| Theme from Ravel's "Pavane poure une Infant defunte"
Our place is acknowledged, we are no longer here,
we are each other, one and the same.
We must die in order to become, to take our place.
We bathe and prepare for a new beginning.
|
| |
|
| Be Still |
4:11 |
Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
We wake, see the world and the ground shifts with possibilities.
Our belief is returning, stronger with purpose
we regain our strength, play new music.
The path is clearing, a new direction being plotted.

The Retelling
|
5:06 |
Traditional, arranged by Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI) and Scott Petito (Spotted Music, ASCAP)
We look to the ancients, those that have travelled before us.
The story remains unchanged, but the message shines clear,
meaning has been made from the pieces, reassembled.
We have discovered ourselves, the creativity that binds us |

Alchemy
|
6:23 |
Traditional, arranged by Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI)
Magic fills everything, flooding our journeys.
We have seen from our knees, what the world can teach us.
We become bold, little matters as we laugh
celebrate loudly, dance together, suspended in that very moment. |
| |
New Light
|
4:25 |
Traditional, arranged by Áine Minogue (Little Miller Music Company, BMI) Additional sections by Áine Minogue.
We are new pilgrims, on new paths that lead to unknown places.
The journey stretches before us and we look to the world for the hope that it holds.
Nothing is ordinary, as we see with fresh eyes,
secure our footing on the path and look to the light. |
| |
|
| Mathair |
3:50 |
We reach for our mothers, each different, each the same.
We speak of ordinary events, passing our history
to the next traveller, who prepares for a different path.
Our story is a simple one. |
