1. NO GOING BACK by Sandra Kerr
V1. The world is turning, changing with the seasons of the year
Flowers grow where once the land was cold and bare
The streams feed the rivers, rivers feed the sea
And the strength of my friends will feed the change in me.
Chorus: For there is no going back (there is no limit now)
No going back (we're too deep in it now)
No going back (there is no limit now)
No going back.
V2. Since the miners' strike has ended, a new life has begun
We're different women after all we've seen and done.
We've learned the world's divided, and now we've made our choice
We may have lost a battle but we've found a voice.
V3. Life's hard if you're a Worker, it's harder if you're Black
It's hard if you are Old or Poor or get the sack.
It's harder for a Woman — when she tries to say
That she doesn't think the kitchen sink is where she'll stay.
V4. Some families deny it, some families understand
That a woman's rights are equal to the rights of man.
So if you call me "sister" when I join your picket line
Better be there with me, brother, when I fight for mine.
V5. Alone I'm going nowhere, but with friends here by my side
We'll face the bitter future and the storm we'll ride.
We'll finish what we started, go on as we began
We've only chains to lose and all the world to win.
2. TOWER OF STRENGTH
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
All burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
All burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
All fears slip away, slip away
All fears slip from my heart
All fears slip away, slip away
All fears slip from my heart
Let every shackle be loosened
Let every shackle be loosed
Let every shackle be loosened
Let every shackle be loosed
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
Repeat all as many times as wanted
End: I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within - and without!
3. BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE SPIRIT by Libby Roderick
The body is the temple of the spirit
The body is the window to the soul
If you listen lowly you will hear her
Whispering the truth that must be told
Lava flow, raging river, wind blown trees, moonlit night
Ocean tides, desert canyons, mountain lakes, arctic lights
The body passes life onto the young ones
The body is the cradle of desire
Goddess sends her breath across the embers
Kindling the sparks into a fire
Come down and hear her, time will abide
Come down and touch her, time will obey,
Time will have to wait
The body is the temple of the spirit
The body is the window to the soul
If you listen lowly you will hear her
Whispering the truth that makes you whole
The body is the temple of the soul
4. How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less then beautiful
How could anyone ever tell you
You were less then whole
How could anyone fail to notice
That your life has been a miracle
How deeply you’re connected to my soul
5. WOMAN AM I
Woman am I, Spirit am I
I am the infinite within myself
I can find no beginning
I can find no end
Oh yes I am.No going back - Sandra Kerr
Tower of Strength
The body is the temple of the spirit - Libby Roderick
How could anyone ever tell you - Libby Roderick

We've learned the world's divided, and now we've made our choice -
We may have lost a battle but we've found a voice
Life's hard if you're a Worker, it's harder if you're Black
It's hard if you are old or poor or get the sack.
It's harder for a woman — when she tries to say
That she doesn't think the kitchen sink is where she'll stay.
Some families deny it, some families understand
That a woman's rights are equal to the rights of man.
So if you call me "sister" when I join your picket line
Better be there with me, brother, when I fight for mine.
Alone I'm going nowhere, but with friends here by my side
We'll face the bitter future and the storm we'll ride.
We'll finish what we started, go on as we begin
We've only chains to lose and all the world to win.
14. Carry Greenham home
Hand in hand the line extends
All around the nine-mile fence
Thirty thousand women chant
Bring the message home
Chorus: Carry Greenham home
Yes, nearer home and far away
Carry Greenham home.
Singing voices sing again
To the children, to the men
From the channel to the glen,
Bring the message home
Not the nightmare, not the scream
Just the loving human dream
Of peace, the ever-flowing stream
Bring the message home
Woman tiger, woman dove,
Help to save the world you love
Velvet fist in iron glove
Bring the message home
Singing voices rising higher
Weave a dove into the wire
In our hearts a blazing fire
Bring the message home
No-one asked us if we cared
If cruise should be stationed here
Now we've got them running scared
Bring the message home.
Here we sit, here we stand,
Here we claim the common land
Nuclear arms shall not command
Bring the message home.
15. Reclaim the night Words and music: Peggy Seeger (abbreviated version)
Chorus: Reclaim the night and win the day
We want the right that should be our own
A freedom women have seldom known
The right to live, the right to walk alone
Without fear.
If we choose to walk alone
For us there is no safety zone
If we're attacked we bear the blame
They say that we began the game
And though you prove your injury
The judge may set the rapist free
Therefore the victim is to blame,
Call it nature — but rape's the name (Chorus)
When exploitation is the norm
Rape is found in many forms -
Lower wages, meaner tasks
Poorer schooling, second-class
We serve our own, and like the men
We serve employers. It follows then
That body's rape is nothing new -
But just a servant's final due. (Chorus.)
We've raised our voices in the past,
And this time will not be the last!
Our body's gift is ours to give,
Not payment for the right to live.
Since we've outgrown the status quo,
We claim the right to answer: NO!
If without consent he stake a claim
Call it rape, for rape's the name. (Chorus)

17. Tower of Strength
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
All burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
All burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
All fears slip away, slip away
All fears slip from my heart
All fears slip away, slip away
All fears slip from my heart
Let every shackle be loosened
Let every shackle be loosed
Let every shackle be loosened
Let every shackle be loosed
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
Repeat all as many times as wanted
End: I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within - and without!
18. Burning times
In the cool of the evening they used to gather
Neath the stars of the meadow, circled near an old oak tree
At the times appointed by the seasons of the earth
And the phases of the moon
In the centre often stood a woman
Equal with the others and respected for her worth
One of the many they call the witches
The healers and the teachers of the wisdom of earth
And the people grew in the knowledge she gave them
Herbs to heal their bodies, spells to keep their spirits whole
Hear them chanting healing incantations
Calling forth the wise ones, celebrating in dance and song
Chorus:
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inana
There were those who came to power through domination
They were bonded in their worship of a dead man on a cross
They sought control of the common people
By demanding allegiance to the church of Rome
And the pope declared the inquisition
It was a war against the women whose power they feared
In that holocaust against the nature people
Nine million European women died
And the tale is told of those who, by the hundred
Holding together, sought their deaths in the sea
While chanting the praises of the mother goddess
A refusal of betrayal, women were dying to be free
Chorus
Now the earth is a witch and the men still burn her
Stripping her down with mining and the poisons of their wars
Yet to us the earth is a healer, a teacher, a mother
A weaver of the web of life that keeps us all alive
She gives us the vision to see through the chaos
She gives us the courage, it is our will to survive
Chorus to end
Goddess chants and songs collected at Greenham and elsewhere
19. Can’t kill the spirit
She’s like a mountain
Old and strong
she goes on and on
20. We are a gentle angry people
And we are singing
Singing for our lives… (x 2)
We are a justice-seeking people…
We are an anti-nuclear people…
We are a land of many colours…
We are gay and straight together…
We are young and old together…
21. Weave and mend
Old woman is watching
Watching over you
In the darkness of the storm she is watching
She is weaving, mending, gathering the fragments
She is watching over you
Chorus
Oh weave and mend
Weave and mend
Gather the fragments safe
and mend the sacred circle sisters
Weave and mend, weave and mend
sacred sisters weave and mend
For years I’ve been watching
waiting for old woman
feeling lost and so alone I’ve been waiting
Now I find her weaving, gathering the fragments
now I find her in myself
22. We are the rising sun
We are the change
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
And we are rising
Collected at the Transition Town Machynlleth meeting, from Starhawk, July 2008
23. Silo song
We’ll face them with refusals, we’ll face them with song
We’ll blockade their bases, sit silent and strong
We don’t want their missiles and we don’t want their wars
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We wont move from Greenham till Peace it is ours
They say they need Trident and Cruise and the rest
They say for deterrence these bombs are the best
Who deterred them at Hiroshima
Where they made nuclear tests?
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We won’t move from Greenham – disarmament’s best
We danced on the silos so they sent the police
Who arrested us women for breach of the peace
What peace will be left us by Trident and Cruise?
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We won’t move from Greenham for we’ve too much to lose.
They say they’re protecting the women and kids
But they’re building their bunkers just for government bigs
They bombs make us victims, it’s us who will die
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We won’t move from Greenham – ain’t trusting their lies
Well have you seen pictures of bodies all burnt
Imagine it’s you and your families so hurt
We can stop the madness but we must do it now
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We won’t move from Greenham for time’s running out.
When they talk about theatres it’s nuclear war
And they say they can limit it and win as before
They’ll destroy us to save us but they won’t count the cost
So we’ll stay here at Greenham
We’ll stay here at Greenham
We won’t move from Greenham or Europe is lost
24. Building bridges
Building bridges between our divisions
I reach out to you
Won't you reach out to me
With all of our voices
And all of our visions
Sisters we can make
Such a sweet harmony
25. They can’t forbid me to sing
They can forbid nearly everything
But they can't forbid me to think
And they can't forbid my tears to flow…
No, they can't shut my mouth when I sing
They can't forbid the flowers to grow…
They can't forbid the sun to shine…
26. Witches
Who are the witches, where do they come from?
Maybe your great great grandmother was one
Witches are wild wise women they say
There's a lot of witch in every woman today.
27. I Have Dreamed
I have dreamed on this mountain
Since first I was my mother's daughter
And you can't just take my dream away
Not with me watching
You may drive a big machine
But I was born a big strong woman
And you can't just take my dreams away
Without me struggling
This old mountain raised by many daughters
Some died young and some still living
If you've come here for to take my mountain
Well I ain't come here to give it
Native American chants collected on the Walk to Moscow 1980-1982
28. Call and response
Fly like an eagle………
Fly so high…….
Circling the universe……..
On wings of pure light……..
Oh Witchy ti oh………

Oh Witchy ti oh…….

29. part one
We circle around, we circle around,
the boundaries of the earth

spreading our long tail feathers as we fly
spreading our long tail feathers as we fly
30. Oh great spirit
Sun moon stars and sea
You are inside
and all around me
31. We are one in the infinite sun
forever and ever and ever
koo watay layno layno mahotay

32. Listen more often to things than to beings
Chorus: Listen more often to things than to beings
Listen more often to things than to beings
'Tis the ancestors' breath
When the fire's voice is heard
'Tis the ancestors' breath
In the voice of the water
Those who have died have never ever left } Unison
The dead are not under the earth }
They are in the rustling trees
They are in the growing woods
They are in the crying grass
They are in the mourning rocks
The dead are not under the earth
Chorus
Those who have died have never ever left }
The dead have a pact with the living } Unison
They are in the woman's breast
They are in the wailing child
They are with us in the home
They are with us in the crowd
The dead have a pact with the living
Those who have died have never ever left }
The dead are not under the earth
33. Bread and roses
As we come marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill-lofts grey
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
As the people hear us singing
Bread and roses, bread and roses.
As we come marching, marching,
We struggle too for men
If they prove women's brothers
Then together we shall win
Our lives shall not be sweated
From birth until life closes
Hearts starve as well as bodies
Give us bread but give us roses.
As we come marching, marching
Unnumbered women dead
Go crying through our singing
Their ancient cry for bread
Small art and love and beauty
Their drudging spirits knew
Yes, it is bread we fight for
But we fight for roses too
As we come marching, marching
The future hears our call
For the rising of the women
Means the rising of us all
No more slaves and no more masters
Millions toil while one reposes
But a sharing of life's glories -
Bread and roses, bread and roses
34. Foolish notion
Chorus:
Why do we kill people
Who are killing people
To show that killing people is wrong?
What a foolish notion
That war is called devotion
When the greatest warriors
Are the ones who stand for peace
Verse:
War toys are growing stronger
The problems stay the same
The young ones join the army
While General What's-his-name
Is feeling full of pride
That the army will provide
But does he ask himself…
Verse:
Death row is growing longer
The problems stay the same
The poor ones get thrown in prison
While Warden What's-his-name
Is feeling justified
But when will he be tried
For never asking…
Libby Roderick
35. How could anyone ever tell you
You were anything less then beautiful
How could anyone ever tell you
You were less then whole
How could anyone fail to notice
That your life has been a miracle
How deeply you’re connected to my soul
36. The body is the temple of the spirit
The body is the window to the soul
If you listen lowly you will hear her
Whispering the truth that must be told
Lava flow, raging river, wind blown trees, moonlit night
Ocean tides, desert canyons, mountain lakes, arctic lights
The body passes life onto the young ones
The body is the cradle of desire
The goddess sends her breath across the embers
Kindling the sparks into a fire
Come down and hear her
Time will abide
Come down and touch her
Time will bade
Time will have to wait
The body is the temple of the spirit
The body is the window to the soul
If you listen lowly you will hear her
Whispering the truth that makes you whole
The body is the temple of the soul
37. Bella ciao
Oh we are marchers
And we're protesting
Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella
Ciao, ciao, ciao
We are here today
Our banners speak for us
They're saying `no to nuclear war
Oh we are singers
We hope you hear our song…
We are voicing
The dream of millions
For a world that's rid of war.
Oh we are citizens
We're going to use our vote...
We are calling
For human justice
In immigration policy.
Oh we are women
And we're resisting...
We're resisting
Abuse and violence
We're going to set each other free.
Oh we are children
Of every region…
We are part of
A global movement
That's bringing change on land and sea.
38. Freedom
Oh freedom x 3
Freedom is coming x 3
Oh yes I know
Chorus: Oh yes I know x 4
Power is coming...
Amandla Ungwetu...
Viva COSATU...
39. Trident, trident (B flat)
(Da-da-da etc.)
Trident, Trident
What an insane idea
Thousands homeless
All for the cost of fear
We can't afford medication
Or proper education
But we must pay
A million a day
So that Britain can disappear
(All together now...)
Health cuts, health cuts
Nursing a luxury
Balanced budgets
Obscure the priority
Blair and Brown are stealthy
They dare not tax the wealthy
But our taxes pay
Without our say
For unusable weaponry.
Pensions, pensions
We must make a special plea
Why should old folk
Suffer in poverty
Paid for by taxation
But eroded by inflation
And the govern- ment
Think armaments
Are a higher priority
Trident, Trident
The whole thing has gone too far
If we don't stop them
We're sure of a nuclear war
Before they start attacking
We have to send then packing
And pull the chain
On all who gain
From the criminal arms bazaar.
40. Down by the riverside (A-G-A)
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside x 3
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna study war no more
Chorus: I ain't gonna study war no more x 3
No more!
I ain't gonna study war no more x 3
I'm gonna raise up my voice and sing…
I'm gonna shake off my apathy…
I'm gonna shout out the call of peace…
We're gonna join hands around the world…

Theodora Mills
2. NANA WAS A SUFFRAGETTE
V1. Oh you never knew my Nana, she died four years ago
She lived in that old folks home in Moss Side, you know,
I used to go on Sundays, sometimes took the kids
I was always so proud of what she did
Chorus:
Nana was a suffragette, almost the last alive
Nana was a suffragette, over ninety five
Singing “Votes for women, is just a beginning
You haven’t seen anything yet” –
Nana was a suffragette
V2. When I was young I treasured an old photo of my Nan
Speaking to some workers from a clarion van
You wouldn’t think it of her, she looked so frail and ill
But on that day Nana emptied all the women from the mill
Chorus:
Nana was a suffragette never thought to fail
Nana was a suffragette, spent a night in jail
Singing…
V3. The proudest day in Nana’s life was when the vote was won
The papers said “It’s over!” but Nan had just begun
Her Women’s Committee went on to better things
And they challenged the Union, the Council and their wedding rings
Chorus:
Nana was a suffragette, only five foot tall
Nana was a suffragette, took on City Hall
Singing…
V4. Now here I’m standing with my -
college degree
And my own kids have more options than Nana could achieve
But if you think we’re satisfied, take a look around
There’s a lot of angry women, won’t let their nanas down
Chorus:
Nana was a suffragette, it’s as if she’s still alive,
Nana was a suffragette, their voices still survive
Singing…
Jules Gibb

3. THE MOUNTAIN SONG Holly Near
I have dreamed on this mountain
Since first I was my mother's daughter
And you can't just take my dreams away ¬– not with me watching
You may drive a big machine
But I was born a great big woman
And you can't just take my dreams away ¬– not with me fighting
This old mountain raised my many daughters
Some died young – some are still living
But if you come here to take our mountain
Well we ain't come here to give it
I have dreamed on this mountain
Since first I was my mother's daughter
And you can't just take my dreams away, not with me watching
No you can't just take my dreams away, without me fighting
No you can't just take my dreams away

Ch: Remember I give you birth
Remember Mother Earth (after each verse)
I am the woods, the forest, the trees,
I give the buds, take back the leaves ...
I am the rain, the rivers, the seas,
All creatures born must drink of me ...
I have been here since time was new
But now I fear what YOUR time may do ...
You plunder me for coal and for oil
Leaving me scarred, leaving me spoiled ...
You clear the forests, uproot the trees
Poison the air, pollute the seas ...
Pure air, pure rain, for millions of years
Now on the wind come acid tears ...
Why can’t you hear, why can’t you see?
You kill yourselves if you kill me ...
5. THE RISING SUN Starhawk
We are the rising sun
We are the change
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for
And we are rising
