lyrics

So hold my hand, we’ll take this land we’ll fly from bay to bay / ‘cos hawthorn mends a broken heart it’s the giver of hope they say - o the giver of hope they say / Singing shallelai said the buds and the lyre, won’t you sing your song today / Plant your feet in the now, this is holy ground and this is the lay of the land – o – this is the lay of the land / The rhythm of the heart it is the only path in the beat there is always chance / cleansing in fire and spring comes fast we will sing we will love we will dance - o we will sing we will love we will dance / chorus / So dance into the sacred place in the grief, the blood and the thorns / wait without hope and wait without joy then ascend, release, transform - o ascend release transform / chorus / So the hawthorn mends a broken heart
when we join our selves inside / with he who does and she who feels this is the turning of the wedding tide - o the turning of the wedding tide / chorus /. . .
