Lyrics ​& Links to the original episodes for the songs in this ribbon. 89. a spell for intergenerational trauma by Ahlay Blakely Breaking Breaking Breaking the cycles now Ripple through Through to the ancient ones Ripple through Through to the future ones ​ Healing at the Root We’re calling Healing at the root of our belonging 170. Over/Under by Lyndsey Scott Over / under All the way through Over / under Back to you Over / under All the way down Over / under Lost then found I am the love that doesn't leave We do this til we free us! Feel thru the dark is how we see We do this til we free us! We are remembering how to grieve We do this til we free us! You are a part of my family We do this til we free us! 77. Winter Song by Dirk Mont Campbell All things come and go, summer sun and winter snow. Blow wind, fall, rain; all things die and live again. Fallen leaves lie on the ground so cold and dead. Oak tree stands bare, and the holly green and red. Robin sings of love and loss for Jenny Wren. ​All things that die will return to life again. 50. Navigate the Current by Saro Lynch-Thomason I often feel a deep despair For a pain that feels unending For a body made with many faults That resists all salve or mending I’m tossed and driven with a tide Of an ocean unforgiving I am left shaking on the shore Afraid of even standing. I feel a deep temptation then As I am lying weary For a marble form to encase my bones That I may rest more deeply What comfort to be cast as stone To be static and suspended No ecstasy, no misery Nothing given or expended I am startled then by the touch of friends Who raise and fortify me Who say my name, bid me stretch my frame Help me face the sea’s great fury. Where would I be in these long hours Without their voices by me? To ease the pain and soothe the strain Of a troubled and angry body? ​ I am bound between the amity That salves a body splintered And the cries and sighs of the daily hours That pull my soul more inward. Oh, may I learn to trust the hands That soothe a pain so fervent ​May I ride each wave with a greater faith And navigate the current 147. Walk On Through by Samara Jade The Mystery is holding your hand The Mystery is holding your hand The Mystery is holding your hand As you walk through The angels are holding your hand The angels are holding your hand The angels are holding your hand As you walk through…. Chorus: So walk on through - no turning back Walk on through - we got your back We’ll stand by you You’re not alone So walk on through, we’ll walk you home (other verses, same form, fill in the blank with: stars and moon, mother earth, ancestors, all of us, etc) 68. Share the Journey by Katie Sontag As the dark fades away, here it comes, a brand-new, new day. As it leaves, we watch it go, all we learned, all we need to know. I believe we will survive. I believe this is our time. ​I believe we are alive to share the journey, to share the journey. Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

    Song: Set Us Free

    Music by: Elise Witt

    Notes: Elise is an inventive songleader and huge heart in Georgia, USA, whom I met online during the pandemic doing vocal improv with our shared teacher, Rhiannon... but I had been in contact with her before then because I wanted to sing a song of hers with my community chorus. Here, she has set words from the Rev. Timothy McDonald, calling us to the kind of integrity that gives freedom. I teach the song a capella, so you can sing with just my voice -- and then do it with piano at the end, so you can experience it that way -- and then if you follow the shownote links, you can sing it in Spanish and English with Elise, Judith & Lisset Rodés -- Lisset wrote the Spanish words... and it's a little slower, a little more legato than I sang it. I love it when there's a chance to compare different versions of the same song!

    Songwriter Info: Elise’s concerts of Global, Local & Homemade Songs™ and her Impromptu Glorious Chorus™ workshops create and connect singing communities around the world. Born in Switzerland, raised in NC, and living in Atlanta since 1977, Elise speaks 5 languages fluently and sings in at least a dozen more. The Elise Witt Choral Series features choral arrangements of her original compositions and she recently published All Singing, a songbook with 58 original songs including music notation, lyrics and chords, stories and photos.

    A founding member of Atlanta’s Theatrical Outfit, Elise spent many years as a Resident Artist, visiting communities around the state of Georgia and the Southeast, teaching global music and writing local songs with students of all ages.

    From 2009 until 2024 Elise served as Director of Music Programs at the Global Village Project, a non-profit, special purpose middle school for teenage refugee girls in Decatur Georgia, for which she published Imagine A Circle: The Global Village Songbook, Using Singing and Songwriting to teach English for Multi-lingual learners.

    Elise currently gathers singers of all persuasions in joyous circles, and continues her global touring.

    Sharing Info: Elise says: "I always love to share songs in oral (by ear) tradition and I'd love to hear from you how and with whom you share the song... AND the song is also available as a choral arrangement (SATB, SSAA, TTBB) on my website https://elisewitt.com/web/ewcs-choral-music/"

    210. In This House with guests MaMuse
    Nov 5 2025
    Song: In This House Music by: Karisha Longaker of MaMuse Notes: Today we get “right in the river, totally listening, totally all in” with MaMuse, the duo of Sorah Nutting and Karisha Longaker, whose description of songcatching is what I just quoted. I came out of our conversation thinking about so many things -- how we see and appreciate those we love, kindness as our common wealth, danceable songs, being led by feeling and what's insanely fun, and especially house rules for how we be in the world... which comes from "In This House." I was singing harmony with them by the time we sang the song the second time, so you'll hear me making stuff up... partly because of the big, beautiful permission Karisha and Sorah give each other and us to celebrate creativity. I hope you feel that extra space and encouragement, too, after you sing with us! Songwriter Info: MaMuse (“Ma” as in Mamma; “Muse” as in the one who inspires) was born out of a collaboration between songwriters Karisha Longaker and Sorah Nutting. 2008 was a year of great alchemy. Fires erupted in Northern California, a great wind of inspiration blew through, catalyzing a series of songs written from the soil and rivers, ash and heat of Chico where these two musicians met. In the early days these troubadours toted instruments around town by bicycle and shared their songs at farmers markets, community gatherings, small cafes and festivals. Not too long after, these two voices became iconic to the Chico community, representing idyllic values of friendship, community, love for nature and care for Self and World. The love spread, sisterhood held strong through two decades of LIFE: children, relationships arriving and dissolving, making home in many new places. MaMuse songs such as “We Shall Be Known” and “Hallelujah” have sprouted wings and are now sung at the bed sides of birthing mothers, round campfires, at weddings and funerals... All places where people are gathered to celebrate and to mourn. These are songs born of the Folk lineage; songs for all of us. Sharing Info: The song is free to share but Karisha and Sorah always welcome financial and/or networking support if/when folks are so moved.
