Amazing grace how sweet the Earth
That formed a witch like me.
I once was burned, now I survive
Was hanged, but now I sing. 

Twas grace that drew down the Moon,
And grace the raised the sea.
The magick of the people's will
Shall set our Mother free.

We face the East and breathe the winds  
that move across this earth.  
From gentle breeze to hurricane  
our breath will bring forth the change.  
                       
Turn towards the South and feel the fire  
that burns in you and me.  
The spirit's flame will rise again  
and burn eternally. 
                       
We greet the West, our souls awash  
in tides of primal birth.  
Our tears and blood, our pain and love  
will cleanse and heal the earth.  
                       
Reach into the North and know your roots  
down deep ancestral caves.  
We find the wisdom of the Crone,  
Of circles we are made.

Amazing Earth, enduring life,
From death into rebirth
Tis earth I am, and earth I love
And earth I'll always be.

Amazing grace, how sweet the Earth
That bore witches like we.
We once were burned, now we survive,  
were hung and now we sing.  
                       
Goddess bless, so mote it be,  
Our magic spirals on. 
Merry meet and merry part 
and merry meet again.
