Our Lady of Victory I Hear the Warrior's Cry

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

 Dear Lady of Victory 

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
