I look out at the world with eyes of green
people think it's weird, they say it with a smile
I answer with, mother nature chose this colour
what else  is there to say.
green is the powerhouse of strength and power,

Night of solstice 
On a hot and humid June
The covenant of sisters 
Gazing at the signs from the stony mound
On a night where comets fled the sky 
We are sisters

The thirteenth zodiac from where we came 
The serpent staff we are led
We came to heal man
