PALUMBRISTA - CHILD OF EARTH AND STARS

Lyrics

Ha ya nei, ha ya no Eya ma, eya ma Terra below me, stars above Spirit within me, endless love Ha ya nei, ha ya no Eya ma, eya ma I walk between the dark and light I carry both within my sight Verse 1 I placed my hands upon the ground And heard the ancient, living sound The stones remembered every name The rivers carried every flame The roots beneath the forest floor Spoke of the ones who came before They said, “You never walk alone The Earth remembers every bone” So I breathed the mountain into me And gave my sorrow to the sea I let the old illusion fall And heard the Great Spirit in all Pre-Chorus The wind does not ask where it belongs The fire does not apologize for being strong The moon does not fear the coming night And I no longer divide the dark from light Chorus I am Palumbrista Walker between worlds Child of the Earth And the infinite universe I carry the shadow I carry the flame I kneel before no fear And I rise in my true name I am Palumbrista The veil opens wide The Great Spirit breathes On the inside Shamanic Chant Heya, heya, eya ho Mother beneath me, Father beyond Heya, heya, eya ho I am the silence, I am the song Na ya, na ya, terra ma Blood of the serpent, wings of the star Na ya, na ya, spirit rise Open the heart, awaken the eyes Verse 2 The eagle taught me how to see Beyond the cage of memory The serpent taught me how to shed The skin of everything now dead The jaguar moved without a sound Through sacred darkness underground And whispered, “Power does not shout It knows the way from deep within out” The raven showed me hidden doors The wolf revealed forgotten laws The drum reminded every cell That heaven lives where roots grow well Pre-Chorus No wound is wasted when we choose to learn No death is final when the spirit returns Every ending opens sacred space Every loss reveals another face Chorus I am Palumbrista Walker between worlds Child of the Earth And the infinite universe I carry the shadow I carry the flame I kneel before no fear And I rise in my true name I am Palumbrista The veil opens wide The Great Spirit breathes On the inside Bridge — Spoken and Sung Spoken softly by the female voice: Do not search for Spirit only in the sky. Spirit is in your blood. In your breath. In your grief. In the soil beneath your feet. The path is not above the world. The path moves through it. To become whole, you must stop rejecting the parts of yourself that were born in darkness. The tree reaches heaven because its roots dare to enter the underworld. Deep Ceremonial Chant Omara hei, omara ho Into the darkness, deeper I go Omara hei, omara ma Earth is my body, sky is my crown Eya Tenebris, eya Lumina Shadow and radiance, one living fire Eya Tenebris, eya Vitae Through death and rebirth, I remember my way Verse 3 I do not walk to leave this Earth I walk to honor sacred birth To meet the spirit in the clay And bring the timeless into day I know the stars are in my bones The ancient void is not unknown The universe behind my eyes Is born each time my old self dies I bless the body, bless the land I take my destiny in hand No distant power sets me free The gate, the key, the path are me Final Chorus I am Palumbrista Keeper of the flame I walk through every world Remembering my name I honor the ancestors The future and the now The Earth beneath my footsteps The stars above my brow I am Palumbrista No longer torn in two The darkness and the radiance Are one eternal truth I am Palumbrista The old world falls away The Great Spirit awakens Through every breath I take Closing Chant Ha ya nei, ha ya no Eya ma, eya ma Earth below and stars above I walk in power, truth, and love Ha ya nei, ha ya no Eya ma, eya ma The gate is open, the path is clear The Great Spirit is already here Palumbrista… Palumbrista… Walker of shadow… Bearer of light…
