lyrics

born on summer solstice
you are the queen of light
long wavy white hair
and ocean blue sparkling eyes

born on summer solstice
you have a voice to rise
don’t let anybody ever
tell you otherwise

dance with me
bare feet
let’s go there
where wood elves meet
we will dance
like we used to
me and you
we used to dance
like the sun and the moon
united by sisterhood

sometimes life is hard on you
but still you laugh with ease
i hope i’ve been there for you
at all times that you’ve needed me

break the chains that hold you down
release the thoughts that cause you doubt
jump in the water and wash yourself clean
from hurtful memories and heartache tears

dance with me
bare feet
let’s go there
where wood elves meet
we will dance
like we used to
me and you
we used to dance
like the sun and the moon
united by sisterhood

sing to the moon let her be your ruler
be the sea who loves in floods
dance to the beat of a heart that dreams
in fluid motion in endless streams

dance with me
bare feet
let’s go there
where wood elves meet
we will dance
like we used to
me and you
we used to dance
like the sun and the moon
united by sisterhood
