Song: In My Life.

[cadhla]

ONE:
Here in my life I have made myself sacred
By scars and bright fires and the sound of the wind.
Here is my hand; reach your own out, and take it.
The Wheel must turn, every season must end.
I've led this dance for so long that my feet
Are as sore and as bruised as the twilight-blue sky.
Here, take my hand, let the circle complete.
You can join in the dance, you can free me to die.

TWO:
I am starting a journey I don't understand,
Facing the choice I could never refuse.
All that I've dreamed of, for taking a hand.
Ancestors guide me -- I've so much to lose.

THREE:
I have been you I have stood where you're standing
I have sought answers beyond understanding,
I have been trapped in the walls of my skin,
I have been seeking the way to begin.

TWO/THREE:
I am starting a journey I don't understand, / I have been you I have struggled and fallen
Facing the choice I have sought and pursued / I have lost everything I sought to win,
All that I've dreamed of, for taking a hand / I have been you now your future is calling
Ancestors guide me and leave me renewed / Shrug off your doubts and the shell of your skin.

(The TWO/THREE segment repeats over:)

ONE:
Here in my life I have made myself sacred
By scars and bright fires and the sound of the wind.
Here is my hand; reach your own out, and take it.
The Wheel must turn, every season must end.
I've led this dance for so long that my feet
Are as sore and as bruised as the twilight-blue sky.
Here, take my hand, let the circle complete.
You can join in the dance, you can free me to die.
