Glory Lightning
04:01
|

|
A coil in the hills, I play with fire, sweet fire
I shed my skin at will, I will aspire, aspire
Oh, glory lightning, sweet glory lightning
A fetish with no frills inlaid with silver, pure silver
The carving waits instilled for spirit giver to deliver
Oh, glory lightning, sweet glory lightning
And if you want to you can shine alive so bright
And there’s no darkness you can’t love until it’s light
Oh, glory lightning, sweet glory lightning
Oh, glory lightning
My heart I cannot kill. I taste desire, deep desire
The lessons pay the bills. You lift me higher, you inspire
Oh, glory lightning, sweet glory lightning
And if you want to you can shine alive so bright
And there’s no darkness you can’t love until it’s light
Oh, glory lightning, sweet glory lightning

Newage Daydream
03:09
|

|
Wind blowin’ through my mind tonight
Feels like something new
Wind whispers through the pale moonlight
I got something for you
Newage daydream
Mysteries of lightness
Newage daydream
Asteroid goddess on her cosmic flight
Each ray contains a clue
Ancient mysteries of our human plight
A fragment found for you
Newage daydream
Mysteries of lightness
Newage daydream
Return of the righteous
Time to claim your brightness
Newage daydream
Light a candle by your bed tonight
Wish for peace to shine anew
Not for him or her but me and you
Unified for love and truth
Newage daydream
Mysteries of lightness
Newage daydream
Mysteries of lightness
Return of the righteous
Time to claim your brightness
Newage daydream
It’s for you

Let It Rise
04:30
|
|||
|
You were my only friend
I was lost to the pain on a lonely wind
I thought it would never end
But I found my way back from the dead again
Let it rise
Let your heart become this endless love
Let it rise
Let your heart become this endless love
So many lost at sea
And they don’t have a friend like you or me
Everyone gets a key
For the mercy is rich and the love is free
Let it rise
Let your heart become this endless love
Let it rise
Let your heart become this endless love
I love the ones that we’ve forgotten
I love them so
I love the ones that we call rotten
I love them so
There is no soul misbegotten
It just ain’t so
Let it rise
Let your heart become this endless love

Precious
05:05
|
|||
|
Winter’s only so cold with never in your bones
Leaving words unspoken is an empty gravestone
I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious
Hunger’s only so bold when love has turned away
Turn your sword into the soil and feed on your new day
I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious
Who can turn the tides
Who can change a mind
Suffering needs loneliness and fear hides from the light
I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light while I’m on earth
I’m not alive to throw away my time on earth is precious
I am a life, a jewel, a gem of light, my time on earth is precious
Time on earth is precious

Sweet Surrender
05:28
|
|||
|
Always arrive in your own time
Throwing your heart to the wind
Heaven’s alive in your own mind
No one can stay anyway
So it builds and it builds and it builds ’til it breaks
Sweet surrender again
Not like bracing for the end to begin
More like waiting for love to wash in
Sweet surrender again
Wave your sorrow goodbye
Always let go on the rewind
Let live the past in the past
Heaviness builds on a broke heart
Just love more and more every day
So it builds and it builds and it builds ’til it breaks
Sweet surrender again
Not like bracing for the end to begin
More like waiting for love to wash in
Wave your sorrow goodbye
I’m as free as I want to be
If I’m holding on it’s killing me
Letting go always feels so sweet
Never incomplete, just a chance to be
So it builds and it builds and it builds ’til it breaks
Sweet surrender again
Not like bracing for the end to begin
More like waiting for love to wash in
Sweet surrender again
Wave your sorrow goodbye

Rustle Til Free
03:07
|
|||
|
Everyone’s having a good time
I’m just lying around
If you could step into my mind
You’d have room to stretch out
I watch the wind through the trees
It sends me to the highway
I’m on a long-distance ride
And I’m riding
Waking up into my own mind
Now look what joy I have found
I know I’ll get well in good time
I have my feet on the ground
Watching the wind through the trees
Sends me to the highway
I’m on a long-distance ride
And I’m riding
Watching the wind through the trees
Hoping it leads me to my way
I will rustle til free

Circle
04:01
|
|||
|
How many times do we run
Into the freedom of one
When I see you coming to me
I set you free
I stand alone in the sun
Warm in the life I have spun
When I see you leaving again
I don’t pretend
Why should I
Why would I
Circle the end to begin
Spin like a change in the wind
When I see you reaching to be
I set you free
Wouldn’t I
Shouldn’t I
Circle the end to begin
Spin like a change in the wind

Lessons In Three
03:12
|
|||
|
I went to see how the light was forgiven
Lessons in three fallen on the livin’
Heartbreak and terror, feeling alone
Light keep on shining
Freedom please come home
Well the circle seems broken
When the people have spoken
Yet the tyrants hold privilege
Hide their lies in the grass
Refusing to shed
The skin of the past
I went to search for the souls of the willing
Those who feel called when they learn to listen
Can’t see the forest with a fist in your hand
Look light and walk light
Your steps can heal this land
Let the cycle be broken
Mother nature has spoken
Each life is sacred
Stop the abuse
Transform your heart
Love is the truth

Loving The Mystery
07:55
|
|||
|
Snow falling lightly is water on the ground
Since you left me, baby, nothing seems to stick around
Well I have my song to sing
And I don’t wait for the phone to ring
When I try to give you everything
You leave me in my wondering…
Loving the mystery
Dusk falling nightly brings moonlight gold and round
Since you left me, baby, there’s no love light to be found
Well I have my song to sing
And I don’t wait for the phone to ring
When I try to give you everything
You leave me in my wondering…
Loving the mystery
Star falling brightly burned without a sound
Since you left me, baby, my heart is dim and down
Well I have my song to sing
And I don’t wait for the phone to ring
When I try to give you everything
You leave me in my wondering…
So here I stand
I’m standing all alone
You know I can’t stand
Loving the mystery
