Collective Resonance
Songs to Fortify the Soul
This emergent songbook is a celebration of the power that music has to unite, uplift, and fortify. The title, Collective Resonance, reflects the idea that when we sing together —when our voices and hearts harmonize— something greater is created than the sum of its parts. Just as resonance in nature amplifies energy, singing in community can strengthen our souls, nurture our minds, and renew our spirits.
Each song within this collection is an invitation to connect to oneself and the fabric of life. New songs will be added monthly as they are released. I hope these lyrics serve as a source of inspiration and joy as we continue to grow together.
Sing Me, Dance Me
Sing Me, Dance Me Alive
Kai September 2024
Sing me alive* and hear my sound!
It’s in each note I’m fully found
I mourn, I pray, I cherish, I praise
I honor Life in endless ways
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Birds greet dawn with songs that soar
Whales vocalize ‘cross distant shores
The chirp of crickets form a choir
The frogs call out with their desire
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
The joy of song fills empty space
the power of word, an act of Grace
my cells vibrate with Love so true
through breath and sound I’m born anew
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Dance me Alive, and watch me move
This way and that, I’m in the groove
I step in time with the drum’s beat
I sway my hips and twirl my feet
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
The sound it moves through every cell
I feel alive and whole and well
I’m in flow state, a mild trance
The feeling of a sweet romance
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Whirling limbs fill empty space
Pure freedom is a state of grace
my cells vibrate with Love so true
through breath and dance I’m born anew
*”Sing Me Alive” was a prompt offered by Kiranjot Kaur to the Creation Circle song-writing group, a phrase inspired by "Vijnana Bhairava Tantra" in the Radiance Sutras as translated by Lorin Roche. Check out Kiranjot’s amazing devotional song Sing Me Alive on youtube.
Show Me the Way
Show Me the Way
by Kimberly Kai January 2024
Dear Mamma Gaia, these words I pray,
Dear Mamma Gaia, help me walk the beauty way.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
I feel the sun streaming from above
May its golden rays fill my heart with love.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
I breathe in the air, so pure and clear
with each breath may I hold my Life so dear.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
I take a sip of water that once fell from the sky.
May it quench my thirst and every cell purify.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
I walk lightly on the earth, so green and alive,
With every step, may all beings thrive.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
May I trust the path I’m on; Life is full of Grace
It’s okay to move slow, it isn’t a race.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
May I pour my heart in everything I do
Fully showing up, each moment shines anew.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
When I’m sad or mad, may I speak to what is true.
I feel what’s there to feel and let it move on through.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
Life itself is Art, getting dressed and setting the table
With joy may I serve, helping out when I am able.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
I am grateful for the gifts bestowed on me every day.
When my soul sings its praise, I know I walk the Beauty Way.
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey Mamma Hey
Hey Mamma Hey Mamma show me the way
Dear Mamma Gaia, these words we pray,
Dear Mamma Gaia, help us walk the beauty way!
