Nola’s Birthday Round
 
Happy birthday
Happy, happy birthday
Today is your day to have a lot of fun
 
May you celebrate
For as many days
As many many days as you’ve circled the sun
 
This is the beginning
This is the beginning
Beginning your best year ever run

Roll Jordan, Roll: Spirituals Quodlibet
 
Roll Jordan*, roll
Roll Jordan, roll
I want to go to heaven when I die
To hear old Jordan roll
* “Jordan” should be pronounced “Jerdon”
 
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin’ for to carry me home
 
Ezekiel saw the wheel
Way up in the middle of the air

The Answer is in Your Dreams
 
You cannot own it
It belongs to itself

The answer is in your dreams
The answer is in your dreams
Gotta problem that you can’t solve it
Lord, the answer is in your dreams

Take this earth into your hand
This is the last of our land
Touch it to your eyes, touch it to your face
Touch it to your lips and taste this place

The story is repeating itself in the spider’s mind

The moon is like a bell
This is now your story to tell
Your burden to carry
Your dream to build a new

If we make peace with the land
We will still need forgiveness of water

This river has carried us mountains
This river has carried us home

We sleep in the bones of our ancestors
So as to eavesdrop on their dreams

Came on like thunder
This ancient hammer
Came on like thunder
Pounding on our souls

Waking Up This Morning/En M’Eveillent
 
Waking up this morning
I see the blue sky
I join my hands in thankfulness
For the many wonders of life
 
En m’eveillant ce matin
Je vois le ciel bleu
Je joins les mains avec gratitude
Pour la vie et ses merveilles
