SAME FAMILY
Father I’m working to heal pain from generations of guilt and shame
That’s been passed on as our inheritance - now I renounce it
Mother I’m working to heal the soil that has been poisoned
Raped and spoiled we will make it a sacred place again - for all the children
And people of all nationalities
All of the animals plants and trees
And all of the creatures that swim in the sea
We are all part of the same family
Sister I’m willing to understand the ways of woman
So take my hand and lead me into your mystery so I can hear you
Brother I’m willing to drop the pride and competition
I set aside the judgement that use to blind my eyes now I can see you
In people of all nationalities
All of the animals plants and trees
And all of the creatures that swim in the seas
We are all part of the same family
Lover I’m working to heal the pain of separation
It is the same light that’s shining in every part of creation
In people of all nationalities
All of the animals plants and trees
And all of the creatures that swim in the seas
We are all part of the same family

Here I Am

HERE I AM
Mirages dancing at the edge of the horizon
Always out of reach they bacon me to cross the burning sand
I hear the singing of the sirens in the distance
Lure me on with their seductive songs and I get lost at sea
In a tug of war between desires and regrets
It’s time to let go of these childish games and I will not forget that
Here I am - the past is just and old story
Here I am - the future’s just a fantasy
Here I am - there’s no place else that I could be
This is all there is
The phantoms follow me down corridors of memories
They hunt me with their haunting eyes and I get paralyzed
I run for cover looking for another lover
Thinking this time maybe it will work out like a fairy tail
In a tug of war between desires and regrets
It’s time to let go of these childish games and I will not forget that
Here I am - the past is just and old story
Here I am - the future’s just a fantasy
Here I am - there’s no place else that I could be
This is all there is
I hear the ticking of the seconds going by so slow
As years go by so fast and sand falls down the hour glass
The great things I have done the victories and trophies I have won
Become all meaningless here in the face of death
In a tug of war between desires and regrets
It’s time to let go of these childish games and I will not forget that
Here I am - the past is just and old story
Here I am - the future’s just a fantasy
Here I am - there’s no place else that I could be
This is all there is

Love And Forgiveness
04:37

LOVE AND FORGIVENESS
I’m saying I’m sorry for the wrongs that I have done
I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused to anyone
I was unconscious and I didn’t understand
That we are all interconnected
Everything we do comes back around
Now I know that we reap what we sow
So I’m spreading my love around
I’m saying I’m sorry for the hearts that I have broken
I’m sorry for the ignorant words that I’ve spoken
I was unconscious and I didn’t understand
That we are all interconnected
Everything we do comes back around
Now I know that we reap what we sow
So I’m spreading my love around
Love and forgiveness is all that we can give to each other
Love and forgiveness is all there is
I am forgiving everyone who’s ever hurt me
And I forgive myself as I learn how to love unconditionally
I was unconscious and I didn’t understand
That we are all interconnected
Everything we do comes back around
Now I know that we reap what we sow
Love and forgiveness is all that we can give to each other
Love and forgiveness is all there is

Alchemy Of Love

ALCHEMY OF LOVE
she's returning to the earth like a leaf that's been released
falling down
she's returning to the soil as the body turns to ashes
in the ground
she's returning home to the source
like a pilgrim drawn toward the brilliant light
and then ignites in the alchemy of love
she's returning to the blue like a bird that's flying high
flying free
she's returning to the stars skipping through the milky-way
through the galaxies
she's returning home to the source
purified - she's turned to gold and been transformed
and is reborn in the alchemy of love
all the laughter and the tears that she cried through all the blessings
of failure and success
In the end she realized all is one and nothing matters
any more or less
she's returning home to the source
like a pilgrim drawn toward the brilliant light
and then ignites in the alchemy of love
she's returning to the earth
she's returning to the sky
she's returning to the source
purified in love

Every Morning

EVERY MORNING
sometimes it gets so crazy
when I'm running around chasing my own tail
trying to find some meaning in this mad mad world but to no avail
lost in the labyrinths in the corridors of the mind's maze
groping through a haze of dreams
trying to keep it all together as it's failing apart at the seams
every morning the creator
paints a new masterpiece across the sky
what could be greater than this vision
unfolding before my eyes
sometimes I remember
not to gorget to remember the spirit
checking off my list of all the stupid things I think I need to get
to be happy, just be happy without a reason or rhyme
take a breath of life look around
I am surrounded by the sacred all the time
every morning the creator
paints a new masterpiece across the sky
what could be created than this vision
unfolding before my eyes
and I gaze in wonder at the sunrise (see the colors)
in the sky (of creation) see the sunrise
glowing in the morning sky
sometimes I lie awake wondering
what's the use in going on in this tragedy
then I have to laugh at myself and realize that it's a comedy
I'm the hero, fool and villain staring on my own movie screen
if I look behind the cloak and mask I find the real face can be seen
every morning the creator
paints a new masterpiece across the sky
what could be created than this vision
unfolding before my eyes
aid I gaze in wonder at the sunrise (see the colors)
in the sky (of creation) see the sunrise
glowing in the morning sky

In The Arms Of Grace

IN THE ARMS OF GRACE
Isn’t a day go by when I don’t think about you
When I don’t stop and wonder how you are
Isn’t a day go by that I don’t feel your absence
But still I feel your presence in my heart
When we embraced in that silent space
In that timeless place in the crack between two worlds
I recognized the beauty in your eyes
We were wrapped I the arms of grace
There isn’t a day go by that I don’t have to let go
Of holding onto something that isn’t mine
There isn’t a day go by in which I don’t remember
That what I felt with you is with me all the time
When we embraced all the doors were open
And though nothing was spoken I heard every word
I recognized the Buddha in your eyes
We were wrapped I the arms of grace
In the arms of grace
Wrapped in the arms of grace
Isn’t a day go by when I don’t count my blessings
But still I ask for more than what life brings
There isn’t a day go by when I don’t get the feeling
That I want to give you everything
When we embraced in that silent space
In that timeless place in the crack between two worlds
I recognized the beauty in your eyes
We are wrapped I the arms of grace
Isn’t a day go by when I don’t think about you
That I don’t stop and wonder how you are

Take These Ashes

TAKE THESE ASHES
take these ashes and scatter them to the wind
take these dreams and shatter them over and over again
take everything that I call mine
everything that I'm holding onto
take everything that is a lie
and leave only what's really true
open these hands and say goodbye, say hello
open these arms up to the sky welcoming and letting go
take everything that I call mine
everything that I'm holding onto
take everything that is a lie
and leave only what's really true
show me what is real
nothing to be concealed
and everything to be revealed

On The Inside

ON THE INSIDE
I’ve been running away from myself all my life
I’ve been trying to find the truth somewhere else
I’ve been always one step ahead or looking behind
taking two steps back
Now I’m gonna stay right where I am
I will not move no matter what happens
(Chorus)
(Now is the only time there is) on the outride
I’m gonna stay right here
(here is the only place there is) on the inside
I’m gonna stay right here (now is the only time there is)
No matter what may happen (here is the only place there is)
On the inside
I’ve been trying to find happiness all my life
I’ve been trying to capture it in my nets
I’ve been chasing after a dream and stumbling
Into my own traps
Now I’m gonna stand and face the fear
I will not leave no matter what happens
(Now is the only time there is) on the outride
I’m gonna stay right here
(here is the only place there is) on the inside
I’m gonna stay right here (now is the only time there is)
No matter what may happen (here is the only place there is)
On the inside
And I will stay open - and I will stay open
No matter what happens
I’ve been playing a game with myself all my life
I’ve been thinking that what I want is something else
I’ve been playing solitaire and hide and go seek
Peaking through the cracks
Now I’m gonna stay right where I am here
I will not cheat no matter what may happen
(Chorus)

Let Go
03:59

LET GO
Let go - let go
Let the river take you where it wants to go
Let go
Let go - let go
Let your heart fill up and overflow
Let go
Now's the right time to begin
A journey that will never end
The waves roll out and come back in
Again and again
Let go - let go
Ride the wind where ever it may blow
Let Go
Now's the time to jump right in
Maybe you will sink or swim
Cast your fate out to the wind
Again and again
We build our hopes and chase our dreams
But it’s only part of the plan
Cause we're partners with creation
And life moves in such strange ways
That we don’t understand
Let go - let go
Of everything that you think you know
Let go

WELCOME HERE
Welcome here little one
Welcome here from everyone
Who’s gathered here to welcome you
Into this life you are so fresh and newly arrived from the source
Your eyes are pure with innocences
You’ve landed here upon your course
Welcome to this earthly dance
Welcome here little one
So many things you may become
But one thing that you’ll always be
Is loved by those within this family
Of fellow travelers upon this path of love and light
We thank you tiny messenger
For the gift of your delight
Welcome here little one
Welcome here from everyone
And may you grow up true and strong
And may your days on earth be long
And though I come today to bless
And wish you health and happiness
There is one thing I must confess
I know that it is you who blesses me

COLORS OF THE MORNING
colors of the morning
paint a brand new day
light on the horizon
melting all the darkness away
wake up from the dreaming
from the long dark night
wake up to the new day
and see the morning light
music of the morning
listen to the sounds
a gentle wind is blowing
birds are singing all around
wake up from the dreaming
from the long dark night
wake up to the new day
and see the morning light
wake up - wake up
it’s time to rise
rise up sing hallelujah
wake up and see the morning skies

Keep On Singing

KEEP ON SINGING
when the road seems long
feels like you can't go on
and you think you've lost your way
when the times get tough
feels like you've had enough
it's hard to face another day
don't be frightened by the long dark night
hold your head up everything is gonna be alright
keep on singing just like a songbird
keep on shining just like the sun
keep on flowing just like a river
on it's way back home to the ocean
when you're filled with doubts
it's so hard to crawl out
of the hole you've fallen in
with a troubled mind
it's impossible to find
the answer blowing in the wind
don't be frightened by the long dark night
hold your head up everything is gonna be alright
keep on singing just like a songbird
keep on shining just like the sun
keep on flowing just like a river
on it's way back home to the ocean

REMEMBER
Remember to take care of tomorrow
With every decision that you make today
Remember to take care of the earth
Honor her in every way
Celebrate every moment that we are given
Celebrate all the wonders of this vast creation
Celebrate every grain of sand and every shooting star
Remember who you really are
Remember to take care of each other
Remember we’re all born of the same source
Remember to take care of yourself
Everyone is so precious
Celebrate every moment that we are given
Celebrate all the wonders of this vast creation
Celebrate every grain of sand and every shooting star
Remember who you really are
Remember the winding of the river
Remember the deepness of the forest
Remember the blueness of the sky
Everything is so precious
Celebrate every moment that we are given
Celebrate all the wonders of this vast creation
Celebrate every grain of sand and every shooting star
Remember who you really are
