Learn “We are in this together” Medicine Song

Lyrics for We are in this together

We are not separate from the clothes we wear

We are not separate when we breathe this air

Or from the ground we walk upon

Or from the heat that keeps us warm

We are in this together (4x)

We are not separate from the ocean’s waves

Or from the Earth’s deep dark caves

Or from the heartbeat of the drum

Or from the pulsing in anyone

We are in this together (4x)

We are not separate from the beauty here

We are not separate from from the things we fear

Or from the seeds that grow our food

Or from the strength that brings us through

We are in this together (4x)

We are not separate from the ceremonies

Or from the people and their dreams

We are not separate from the child’s laugh

Or from the cow as she lays her calf

We are in this together (4x)

We are not separate from the speaking trees

We are not separate from the songs they sing

We are not separate from the bell’s ringing

We are the weaving of everything

We are in this together (4x)

Two ways in. Learn the song — call and response, the way I teach it — is the player at the top of this page.

Sing along — unison, come in wherever you are:

On singing your medicine song

You are invited to sing along with the recordings, make up your own melody, or simply listen and take in the melody and vibrations receptively. Or pick another song that comes to you, and sing that for your medicine song practice.

Medicine songs are the sound of healing in motion. This is not about the “voice quality” of the singer. Sing your heart out without concern for getting anything perfect or sounding “good.” Singing comes from a different place in our being, brain, and body than speaking. Breathe deeply and explore your inner music. Allow the vibrations that come from you — and what you hear — to move through your body, and see what happens.

The song doesn’t need to be original or epic. It doesn’t need to be sung beautifully or in key — just sung from the heart, or soul, or root. It can be a made-up thing, a nursery rhyme, a pop song, a chant, a humming with no words. The options are limitless.

Music has the power to heal. Not just metaphorically — also literally. So explore sound boldly, and expect to find something new.

When you’re ready for what lives beneath the songs — the teaching · the frequency work · the Sanctuary.

Be blessed, and know you are a blessing.
