I am a wave on the windy sea
Over land and sea I am the wind
I am the eagle on the cliff
I am the stone within the mountain
I am the salmon in the forest pool
I am the strength of the boar in rut
I am the tines of the mountain stag
I am the bravery of the wild bull
I am the flower in bloom
I am the seed within the flower
I am the grain that feeds the people.
I am a word of magic
I am the strength within the strong
I am the silence within the secret
I am the knowledge within the knower
I am the enchanted point of a battle spear
I am the radiant sun of light
I am the stars in the cauldron of sky
I am the ages of the moon.
My word brings the world into being
I grow the shady wood
I release the cleansing waterfall
I hold the pool of the lake
I raise the lofty green meadow
I am the well in the hill
That nourishes the people
I am the people
I am the past
I am the future
I am the sacred land
I am the sea and the sky …
