Eastern Star Songs

By Lisa G. Littlebird & Zan

Lyrics

Night is gently leaving
Slumbering earth reveals the sun’s first light of morning
Grace my sleeping eyes
Lifted on birdsong deliver me awakening

Chorus:
La illaha, il Allah hu (x4)
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai– lai (x4)

Male: A new star is rising ahead in the east of my heart
Female: Heart in your wisdom I hear you and answer your call
Male: Calling upon higher vision I bow to the earth
Female: Earth is my body is earth and my body are one
Male: One dance of sunlight and soil awakens the seed
Female: Seeds of our spirit will grow to create a new star

When the sky comes storming
Rains will raise rivers and wash away all stable ground
Let the water claim me
Cascading, unfolding into my home in the ocean

La illaha, il Allah hu (x4)
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai– lai (x4)
