A Flower in Winter
04:45
|
|||
|
Like a flower in winter
A soft touch of spring
A breath of relief
A new song to sing
If you hold me
Just like that
I think I can heal
Just tell me
The truth that
My mind won’t hear
This moment is sacred
Holy and real
This/The moment you reminded me
The joy I can feel
Chorus:
Like a flower in winter
A soft touch of spring
A breath of relief
A new song to sing
I’ve been fighting
On my own
Just trying to live
It’s been so hard
All alone
With no one to give
This moment has saved me
Has made me alive
This moment you reminded me
That I can survive
*Chorus repeat*
Thank you for a LOVE that heals, thank you thank you

'Cause I Love You
05:52
|

Cause I love you won’t pick your flower
Cause I love you let you grow
Cause I love you
Cause I love you I’ll be here hour after hour
Cause I love you I won’t go
Cause I love you
Trying to love you I’ll share only truth
Trying to love you means understanding
Out of loving you I will sing a song that soothes
Out of loving you let you write your own song
Chorus:
Cause I don’t own you, you’re not mine
Came right through me, so divine
But only God and you have seen your true path
I won’t mold you into me
Of my wishes you are free
Free to find a joy that lasts
If I love you I won’t yell
If I love you treat you well
If I love you
Cause I love you there’s no pride
Cause I love you I have nothing to hide
Cause I love you
Trying to love you I’ve learned to love myself
Trying to love you I accept everyone else
Out of loving you I’ve changed
Out of loving you I’m made brave
*Chorus repeat*
You are free
Let you grow

Spirit Tell Me
04:07
|
|||
|
Spirit tell me where to go
Do I have to go alone
Tell me where to go
Cause the world’s too heavy to hold
Spirit tell me where to go
To get myself out this hole
Tell me where to go
Are my dreams too bold?
Chorus:
If you tell me walk a mile I’ll put on my shoes
If you tell me sit awhile I’m right here with you
And if you tell me take your hand and lead me out into place I don’t know
I’ll go
Thank you for the chance
But all this space feels just too big for me
So many things have changed
And it’s not always clear to see
But I’ve chosen to believe
*Chorus repeat*
I’ll go (5x)
I trust you
I trust you
I trust me too
When you tell me walk a mile I put on my shoes
When you tell me sit awhile I’m right here with you
And if you tell me take your hand and lead me out into a place i don’t know
I’ll go

Transform: An Interlude
00:50
|
|||
|
There is no inferior
No superior
No devil
No angel
We just are
And LOVE can transform us at any moment
So can the lack of love

I tell you you are blind
Not because i want to be right
I tell you you are lost
Not because I love my pride
I see the forest burning
But all you see are dollar signs
And out of all that smoke
How do you find peace of mind?
You’d let the people die
You say it’s for economy
But we can see the truth
You don’t want us to ever be free
Free from all the stress
Free from powerlessness
You could provide relief
But you spent it all on military
Cause domination is disease
A sickness only LOVE can ease
Abandon ego, Abandon greed
I promise you, I promise you
LOVE is free!
Just like Asa said,
You are not enemy
You’re just another victim
Of not knowing how to see
See with understanding
See with eyes of unity
You cannot own the world but
It all lives in you & me
Cause domination is disease
A sickness only LOVE can ease
Abandon ego, Abandon greed
I promise you, I promise you
LOVE is free!
Domination is disease
A manufactured superiority
Abandon all it’s rotten seeds
And you’ll find God there waiting to be seen
Domination is disease
A sickness only LOVE can ease
Abandon ego, Abandon greed
I promise you, I promise you
LOVE is free!

Come Home
05:33
|
|||
|
Years of sweet porridge and hearty laughs
Some shouting, some broken glass
Sleepin between your mother’s arms
Kiss on the cheek for an alarm
Baked apples in the morning
Sweet butter and cinnamon
Hiding behind your daddy’s legs
Looking out at the world so amazed
But as teeth fall out and as voices deepen
The shadow of things unsaid begins to creep in
Can we forgive the oversights, so elders can bask in their grandchildren's light
Cause new life brings new hope and we all need some hope to hold
So come home
Call home
Just come home
Together we’re home
‘Member when you’d put me on top the fridge and I’d jump down into your arms without a fear
‘Member when I’d play up in RaRa’s room, singing and dancing to Jackson 5 tunes
Nintendo in the attic, I never won but I still tried it
For me those years felt so easy, but the grace of childhood seems far away
The lock on your tongue is a burden
A weight we all have to bear
Your silence has carved out a canyon
With us over here and you over there
So come home (You’re already forgiven)
Call home (If you can forgive too)
Just come home (Please)
Together we’re home

Love Allows
02:05
|
|||
|
Love allows the fullness of me
Not just what makes sense
Not just the strength nor the weakness
Love allows
Love allows the fullness of me
The unknown, unsaid
No envy of good, nor judgment of bad
Love allows
Love allows the fullness of me
Naked with no shame
Touching freedom untamed
Love allows

I Am Love
02:44
|
|||
|
If sweet be a peach on your lips
And warm be the sun on your skin
Then let me be an August afternoon
Of all your favorite things
Cause you’re my favorite
Do-be-do-be-doo
If green be the color of the heart
And rose be the color of love
Then let me be a spring branch
Glistening in the rising sun
Because I am love
Do-be-do-be-doo
If joy be a thing of the Sun
And peace be a thing of the Moon
Then I’ll sing..
Do-do-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-doo
Do-do-doo
Cause I am Love
