The river is flowing, flowing and growing, the river is flowing back to the sea. Mother earth carry me, your child I will always be, mother earth carry me back to the sea. The Moon, she is waiting, waxing and waning The Moon, she is waiting, for us to be free. Sister Moon watch over me, a child I will always be. Sister Moon watch over me, until we are free The Sun, he is shining, brightly he’s shining, The Sun, he is shining, lightning the way. Father Sun, shine over me, your child I will always be, Father Sun, shine over me, until we can see! The Fire is burning, destroying and healing, The Fire is burning, for us to be pure. Violet Flame burn over me, a child I will always be, Violet Flame burn over me, until we are pure.
"The River Is Flowing" was a chant written in the 1970s by Sun Bear, a member of the Chippewa Tribe. He was born in the White Earth Reservation in the North of the United States on 31 August 1926 and died on 19 June 1992 at the age of 66 in Spokane, Washington. - Additional verses were added by E. Barrie Kavash in her 2005 novel "Sacred Cave" which is set in North America's prehistoric southeast.
The more basic lyrics are from an ancient spiritual song dating back hundreds of years before America was discovered. It dates back to druid times in Glastonbury somerset England. Beautifully sang on this video.
not trying to be rude . just trying to type something that might be useful . don't say bless . say be more ...... b-less , it means more than you think . but otherwise lovely message .

we do this as a singing exercise but we say: the river is flowing, flowing and flowing the river is flowing, down to the sea mother carry me your child i will always be mother carry me down to the sea then we just repeat it in a round and everything
That is the old version, sister moon came later in 1995 if I remember right, the 2 other verses are only reasondly..it is the nature of the Rainbow songs , they're changing over the years because brothers and sisters singing them around the world. Its not unusual that texts ,melody and even timing / rythrms may change or slitly sounding different
love so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
Actually this song was written by Diana Hull who lives in Santa Cruz, CA. You can hear the original version on the Blessingway Songs CD by Copperwoman and the 2005 Esalen Midwives Retreat Choir. Here is a link: www.copperwoman.com/song-clips/blessingway-cd/
@bettany Eates , That is the old version, sister moon came later in 1995 if I remember right, the 2 other verses are only reasondly..it is the nature of the Rainbow songs , that they're changing over the years because brothers and sisters singing them around the world. Its not unusual that texts ,melody and even timing / rythrms may change slitly and people also composing a text/lyrics to it. So the song will changeing a bit and flow along like the water, thats the beauty of it.
io l'ho registrato nel mio disco in italiano "arcobaleno nel cuore" puoi cercarmi se vuoi su fb o youtube o soundcloud: singingluz. che il fiume possa scorrere!

Reclaiming/Starhawk tradition love this song and sing it at our witchcamps, but it's not written by any of us. Klaus Ehlers in a later comment attributes it to Sun Bear of the Chippewa nation.
