Demeter's Song
I am the wealthy one
I am the wealthy one
All that I have I give to you
Blossom and bud
The leaf and the promise of fruit to come
The corn and the wheat
The grass and the earth beneath your feet
I am the wealthy one
I am the wealthy one
All that you have I give to you
Rhythm and form
The lover's smile and the workers arm
Your blood and your bread
Pleasure and sorrow, birth and death
I am the wealthy one
I am the wealthy one
All that I am I am in you
The change that frees
The heart that cries and the hand that heals
The eye that sees truth
The power to destroy and to renew
I am the wealthy one
I am the wealthy one
All that I am I am in you
*We are the wealthy ones
We are the wealthy ones
All that I am depends on you
by Starhawk
From Let It Begin Now: Music from the Spiral Dance, which can be ordered from the Reclaiming Quarterly.
* I added the last chorus.
