| Could it be we are telling ourselves the wrong story? |
Our Lady of Victory I Hear the Warrior’s Cry
Dare I say you spoke to me?
Dare I say that I heard you call my name?
Mother of us all what is it that you'd like to say?
That we've let our world go astray
And though it’s difficult
It isn't too late to find another way
Our Lady of Victory
Please tell me the true meaning of your name
For I know there are greater victories than the ones that are won
fought with the flesh and the blood of our young
Speak to me of those hard truths
the ones that cut through the lies we've built our lives upon
What is it that you'd like to say?
That divinity has no sides
that these are lines we humans create
that divide us because we ourselves are divided
because we refuse to acknowledge that we too have evil inside us
What is it that you'd like to say?
That perpetuating this double standard of the flag and the cross
is not victorious at all
In fact it keeps us from entering the gates of Heaven here on
Earth
We ask for your forgiveness and seek your mercy
For the cross was never intended to be carried
it was a choice that we humans made
Nor were we meant to wrap ourselves up in our flags
and to die in your name
We have mistakenly raced to the wrong arms
and yet you are still here calling our names
Sweet Mother of us All
You show us that miracles are born from forgiveness
and in spite of our individual and collective mistakes
You extend out your arms
and welcome us home to your divine embrace
We weep sorrowful tears
Mourning the loss of innocent lives
Your light illuminates the deep pain we've been carrying inside
The pain that comes from the realization that as children of
God
we were never meant to leave the playground for the battleground
For when
we ground ourselves in your unwavering love
We stop dropping bombs and begin to drop our guard
We are on the forefront of a Revolution
The Divine Feminine Uprising
Where the revolution evolves from fist to five
For it is only when we come to completely understand
that we are only liberated
when we shed our armor
and share our vulnerable hearts
And when we do
We begin to play the game of Truth And Dare
We speak our Truth
And when we do
We see the rapture comes
in reclaiming our true nature
the one that has been there all along
And when we do
We dare to laugh until we cry
and cry until we laugh
We dare to see the humor of being human
We dare to dance freely
We dare to love madly
We dare to rejoice loudly
We dare to play with wild abandon
and let our songs sing your praise
Show us that the chapel resides inside
So we may return to the Garden of Eden
And plant the seeds of our dreams
in your fertile crescent
Nourishing them
So that they come to bare fruit
on the Tree of Life
And guide us Divine Mother of us All
to the Great Victory
Let us never forget
that our power lies in our imagination
Help us to remember that we have the Power
to destroy and to create
Let us destroy the story that holds us captive to reliving our history
And rewrite a new creation story
Let his story become her story
By choosing
Life over death and Love over hate
Cooperation over competition
Understanding & Forgiveness over Judgement and Blame
Let us feast at your table
and share generously in your abundant bounty
Where we are all free to be you and me
For we are all One!
Until Victory, Always
