about

This song was written by our friend Wy and she joins us in the singing. Mallee is a dreaming. Her name means ‘woman’ and like any dreaming she generates myriad souls as easily as she makes leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds. In any generation, many of these take human birth, wise celestial souls bringing cosmic wisdom while letting Mother-Mallee experience humanity close-up. Sometimes she reaches out to you and calls you home…

lyrics

Seven stars in the sky
Seven daughters of the law
Seven branches of the tree
Every leaf a word of love for me

Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Mallee my mother my many armed mother tree
Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Gives me love deep as deep as can be

I have lain in your shade
I’ve seen the mistletoe child all on your arm
I have felt your tides of cosmic splendor
Hold me mallee keep me safe from harm

Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Mallee my mother my many armed mother tree
Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Gives me wisdom deep as deep as the sea

I have been a rock among your roots
I have been your leaves all wet with rain
You have looked on me with eyes that know me
Called me daughter, called me home again

mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
mallee my mother my many armed mother tree
mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
gives me power, power for you and for me

Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Mallee my mother my many-armed mother tree
mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
gives me love deep as deep as can be

Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Mallee my mother my many armed mother tree
Mallee o mallee o mallee o mallee my mother
Gives me wisdom deep as deep as the sea
