This hymn of the Spirit evokes parallels between Native American legends and Celtic imagery, and indeed many cultural traditions. A beautiful 20-voice choir and ethnic drums call up
lyrics
In the morning Sun doth rise
In the evening stars glisten
On low skies
In the turning of the horizon
Heed the words of the wise
In the children of the Day
In the gentle ones there is
Made a way
In the inner whispers that say
Fire carry away
In the glowing of the star
In the shining brightly
Wherever you are
In the flow from here to far away
Never to part
Sing....
In the promises believe
in the spoken word
In the signs you see
For the aching need inside to be free
There is release
Sing....
From the Waiting Ones a sigh
From the Shining Ones hear
the Final cry
in the twinkling of an eye..
