Aurora Borealis Well the sky sings a story, You can hear it in the night Aurora Borealis , You’re such a wondrous sight You share stories of the old ones, You give blessings to the new They come so far for healing, Traveling here to be with you In your colours there is magic, And your voice it sparkles so Aurora Borealis, Tell me something that you know Well the sky sings a story, You can hear it in the night, oooooh Aurora Borealis, Is it the story of my life? Just one secret, one story, Share with me this simple eve I might rest within your heartbeat, Touch my soul before I leave Aurora Borealis, You’re such a pretty pretty pretty pretty sight Thank you for the magic, We only get to see you one night Well the sky sings a story, You can hear it in the night (oooooh) Aurora Borealis, The dance of the northern lights Skies open sky has spoken Words of old ones from ocean to ocean Sky has spoken Sky is open sky has spoken words of the old ones the people have awoken Well the sky sings a story, You can hear it in the night Aurora Borealis , Is it the story of my life? Sky is open, Sky has spoken

Hypnotized 03:54
Hypnotized The mist upon the water hypnotizes, It reminds me why it pulls me in Closer closer but not drowning, returning to a place I’ve always been The hoar frost on the trees hypnotizes, no mention of a breeze or what it needs The silence of the winter envelops me, I feel like I’m in a dream Hypnotized, hypnotized Is it something, in the winter skies Hypnotized, I’m hypnotized I’m one with all that is, a love I can’t describe, I’m hypnotized Tree limbs connect in holy union, The forest is our refuge and our shrine Connecting through the miles, connecting through all space and time I’m hypnotized, hypnotized, Is it something, something in the winter skies Cause I’m hypnotized, hypnotized One with all that is, a love I can’t describe, I’m hypnotized The more we yearn, the more we learn and the more we learn, the more we yearn to love 4 bars Hypnotized, I’m hypnotized, Is it something in the, in the winter skies I’m hypnotized, ooooh hypnotized One with all that is, a love I can’t describe, I’m hypnotized

Sparkling Lights Sparkling lights and sparkling snow Dreaming of something that I want to know Warm fires with cozy hearths Happy people with joyfilled hearts All of this I watch with wonder For me it’s a day unlike any other A celebration a time of cheer A time when love comes near Let the snow fall let it fall, Let the joy cheer us all Let the lights shine bright so bright, On this joy-filled Christmas night Churches are full this magical eve People all want to believe In the innocence of an old story And need to remember that glory Let the snow fall let it fall, Let the joy cheer us all Let the lights shine bright so bright, On this joy-filled Christmas night All around us are the sparkling lights On this joyfilled Christmas night Follow your star, follow your star, follow your star, follow your star Let the snow fall let it fall, Let the joy cheer us all Let the lights shine bright so bright, On this joy-filled Christmas night Let the stars shine bright, bright, Let the snow fall, let it fall, fall fall fall On this Christmas night, on this Christmas night, on this Christmas night, on this Christmas night

Standing People Walking through the forest wild and free, I can hear the voices calling me Following a distant guiding light, something draws me closer, sound and sight I see standing people like a dream, Shadows in the moonlight watching me I’m talking with the Spirits from the past, I won’t be the first won’t be the last Standing guard on sacred ground, Standing people watch the world go round I see standing people they see me, Together in the forest, family Snowflakes melt upon my skin, they share with me the stories of where they’ve been Singing to the Spirits of the past, I won’t be the first won’t be the last Dreaming here with them on Sacred ground, Standing people make the world go round Through the days through the nights, In our dreams in our lives Feel the wonder of the thunder, that Scorches earth while giving birth Singing to the Spirits of the past, cause I won’t be the first won’t be the last Dreaming here with them on Sacred ground, Standing people make the world go round

THERE WAS A CHILD This song I sing, is of the joy you bring Into my life with every passing day It’s my gift to you, for all the little things you do And for the gift of life that brought us here today There was a child born one night He was filled with Christmas light He came to free us with a love we couldn’t see He’s the baby that gave Christmas to you and me Every time a child is born, every time we feel forlorn There’s a Spirit waiting to bring us home to stay Every time we cry, every time one of us dies You can feel His presence on this Christmas day There was a child born one night He was filled with Christmas light He came to free us with a love we couldn’t see He’s the baby that gave Christmas to you and me May this song you hear, bring His Spirit near May it make us strong within the love we share It’s our gift to Him, for everything He’s ever been And for the gift of life that brought us here today There was a child born one night He was filled with Christmas light May every child’s dream tonight Be filled with Christmas light May he understand the love that he can’t see When he finds his gifts beneath that Christmas tree

Burn In Me 03:38
Burn In Me Looking for somewhere to belong She watches and she remembers Happier times now long gone Once a flame now only embers Looking for someone he’s been missing Someone calming and wise There’s no one he can lean on He sees through tear stained eyes Burn in me fire of life Warm me up from the inside It’s cold out here and I’m lonely Now a stone not a quarry He steps outside and he remembers Her shadow embraces the light He turns and now he sees her He welcomes her in from the night Burn in me fire of life Warm me up from the inside It’s cold out here and I’m lonely Once a stone now a quarry Someone’s daughter come on in Doesn’t matter where you’ve been Come on in and join our story Once a stone now a quarry Burn in me fire of life Warm me up from the inside It’s cold out here and I’m lonely Once a stone, now a quarry It’s warm in her I’m no longer lonely Once a stone, now a quarry

First Christmas First Christmas little one, how do you see it All the wrapping paper and all of the colorful lights on the tree First Christmas little one, how do you feel it can we make it everything you’d want it to be Oh do you notice how, the stars shine a little brighter above us Oh I trust and pray they’ll bring you happiness It’s the first Christmas, your first Christmas, first Christmas I hope it’s gonna be a good one There’s so much sadness, but the world keeps on spinning It seems like madness, there can be so much pain in this season of giving It can be hard to take, oh but together we’ll find our way Every day with you is such a blessed day, oh Oh do you notice how, the stars shine a little brighter Is it you that makes the darkness lighter? It’s your first Christmas, your first Christmas, it’s the first Christmas, I hope it’s gonna be a good one decorations, expectations, celebrations First Christmas, it’s your first Christmas, first Christmas, I hope it’s gonna be a good one It’s your first Christmas, the first Christmas, it’s your first Christmas, I hope you feel happy and loved

about

Aurora 12 is an inclusive collection of songs that is grounded in the inherent beauty of earth, air, fire and water – the four elements that make up Mother Earth for Indigenous people and that everyone can relate to in their own special way. That’s why this album is a mix of new songs with some Indigenous overtones, along with a few traditional Christmas songs.

Produced in collaboration with Juno Award winning producer Chris Burke-Gaffney, with creative support from Indigenous Music Hall of Famer Vince Fontaine and musical contributions from long-time friend and former bandmate, Rob Ing, I think we’ve put together a collection of songs that will be sure to bring light, comfort and joy to everyone during this festive season!
