Your starseeds bloom, your starbright shine
Your watery green, you clear my mind

Your starships bloom, your stars so bright
Your calming green it clears my mind

You comfort me in darker times
You clear my mind, you clear my mind

Your brightendream, your fluidity
Flowing like watery streams

Your mantle of green, your mantle of green
Your crown of stars, your crown of stars

Bird medicine, in golden light

You shine so bright, your liquid eyes
Your crystal gaze, you spin my mind

You spin my mind, smile on me, unwind

All my thoughts and fears
They disappear

In your golden light

Kindness, humility, and love
I looked inside and there I found
Her all-embracing mercy and love

She held my deepest, darkest self
My pain, my crippled, twisted soul
In her garden I do my work
These words I sing with all my heart

The beauty of our brothers and sisters
Cannot be found outside ourselves
We shine the light, it’s pure divine
It can be seen in each and every eye

You are the Queen of the Sea
Let your waves of light
Wash over me

Praise all life
That comes from the ocean
The living coral reefs
The whales and the dolphins

Allow me to enter
The depths of the sea
Where the seed of life
Waits for me

Primordial seed
Star of the universe
Protected by the light
Of my pure heart

With devotion
I surrender
To the waves of the sea
Forever, forever
