Opening the Gates
We call now to our friend the Gatekeeper, who opens the doors between the realms! We ask you to join us here today and open the gates.
(sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell)
We’re opening the gates,
We’re opening the gates.
Gatekeeper shine on us, we’re opening the gates.
The waters flow down deep,
The waters flow down deep,
Connect us to the ancestors,
The waters flow down deep.
The fire burns up high,
The fire burns up high.
Connect us to the shining ones,
The fire burns up high.
The tree connects it all.
The tree connects it all,
Mighty tree open the gates,
The tree connects it all.
