Elevate your thoughts! You never know what you may see You never know where it may lead It may change what you believe What were we, thinking of, When we lost, the gift of love. Now we must, start again, Close your eyes and, count to 10. Each of us, can turn the tide, show that smile, you often hide, Be unique, and inspired, chase a star, and hitch a ride! Stretch your arms, to reach the sun, Let shadows fall, and darkness run, Jump with joy, and celebrate, You are the key, unlock the gate! Be of peace, and quiet mind, Speak only when your words are kind, Be of grace, and gentle touch, As you begin, your quest for love. Joy fills the heart, hope lights the path, Dreams set our course, loves wings will soar!

(Be a little) light, in the world, be the light you are. You want to help to save the human race, You want to volunteer to save the day, You want to keep the planet nice and clean, Well, you better wash the dirt Where our footsteps have been. You’ve had a calling to your fate, You’re destiny is leading the way, You were awakened to the pain, Your heart is breaking To see the wound that we are making! You read the books, and heard the truth, There’s no turning back, once you have looked, It is a silent, subtle, attack, So load up on smiles, dance in the aisles, Kick of your shoes, cos we’re pushing back!!

one drum 05:22
And with each day we grow, but still so far to go, To learn to live in peace, to use just what we need, To celebrate all life, to honour all mankind, To help when you are called, offer without reward, Offer without reward. One drum, One beat, One heart that never sleeps, One world, to share, One chance to show we care, One voice, to sing, One song in harmony, One hand, to hold, One smile from soul to soul. Look into a childs face, see the wonder and the grace See the innocence awake, there is hope for a better day, And the land on which we live, is not ours to take or give, We are guests and do not own, this Earth we call our home, This Earth we call our home. One drum, One beat, One heart that never sleeps, One world, to share, One chance to show we care, One voice, to sing, One song in harmony, One hand, to hold, One smile from soul to soul. Put your hands out, in union! Put your hands out, in union! X2 One choice, take a stand, Hands held across the land One dream, one prayer, One day that peace will reign!

And you, do the best you can, and that’s alright. And you, challenge those who would hold you back, and that’s alright, And you, believe in all you do, and that’s alright, And you, have a vision of something new, and that’s alright! Sing it, energy in motion Be it, Do it, Use it to make all your dreams come true. And you, have chosen to be strong, and that’s alright, And you, are servant to no one, and that’s alright, And you, will only walk your way, and that’s alright, And you, are willing to stand tall, and that’s alright. Sing it, energy in motion Be it, Do it, Use it to make all your dreams come true. Feel it, energy in motion Free it, Push it. Do what you do, ‘cos you know that you can! You can do it, if you put your mind to it!

You got to be the change If that’s what you’re looking for. I take a look around, at the world, that I call home, The more I see and learn, I know that we have far to grow, I want to calm the pulse, of those who live in fear, To those who instigate, bring their spirits near. You take a look around, and feel the same as me, Too many tears to count, too little sympathy, You want to bring a smile, to every child’s face, You start, day by day, there’s only ever been one way. I see the many walls, that keep us from ourselves, I see the lives we walk, each step unique that fell, And all the hopes and dreams, that never felt the sun, Are washed away in time, as new dreams are begun. You look for signs in life, a cradle where you can rest, You hope a hero comes, to save us from ourselves, If you can’t find the words, raise the pen of truth, Maybe the one we need, is looking back at you! let it go, let it flow!

You’ve watched, a million stars go by, Safe in the shadows, and too afraid to fly, One day, you promised ‘cross your heart, You would step into the light, To be all that you are! My friend, the floor is yours, Take that step! It’s your time, it’s your time, it’s your time, to shine. (shine into tomorrow) One life, is not enough to spend, Don’t waste, this pure and precious gem, Moments, sparkle then they’re gone, You must show, the world, your light, Now you must be strong, Take hold, be sure to fill both hands, Now, let go! You have the will and strength inside you You have a light within to guide you Open your heart and let your soul inspire

i am light 05:16
I know that I am light, I know that I am freedom, I know that I am loved, I know beyond all reason. I know that I am choice, I know that I’m illusion, I know that I am truth, part of the divine union I know that I am all, I know that I’m eternal, I know that I am soul, a state of conscious learning I know that I am blessed, I know that I am playful, I know that I am weak, but in the arms of angels. I know that I am heard, I know that I am prayer, I know that I am hope, within I hold a saviour. I know that I am sea, I know that I am fire, I know that I am clay, the breath of gods desire. I Know that I am dark, I know that I am violence, I know that I am still, draw comfort from the silence. I Know that I am deed, I know that I am purpose, I know that I am strength, but it doesn’t make it hurt less! This, This is what I, I believe, This moment in time, (I believe that) This

vision 04:41
I’ve been dwelling on the future, how we improve upon the past, The lessons we’ve been missing, and questions we must ask, The joy of life forgotten, we must learn to celebrate, Too blind to see each other, through the fear, the greed and hate. (It’s the little things that make the love) I close my eyes, (and I can see), A vision of (peace and harmony), I look inside, (what do I see), A vision of (peace and harmony), (It’s the little things that make the love) Just close your eyes, (what can you see), A vision of (peace and harmony), Just look inside, (what do you see), A vision of (peace and harmony). We must study our reflection, to see what we’ve become, Be brave and make the changes, for what must be undone, Sacrifice and surrender, to regain what we have lost, And the road that we have chosen, see what it has cost. When darkness falls, in the cold of night, You can hear your heart, and you pray for light, When the walls grow tall, and the world seems bare, We just have each other, and the love we share (the love we share). And your will is strong, and you call for change, In a house of love, we can live again, (we can live again)

And hey! Put down that gun, It never really served anyone, And hey! Put away those words, Before you hurt someone, And how long must we wait? And how long will this take? Do you know ‘bout the soul And hey! You better heal that pain, Don’t pass it on to be used again, And hey! It doesn’t cost to smile, Let’s start a brand new trend today! And how far must we grow? And how long is this road? I said hey! Think about it Celebrate it Do something about it Yeh! We can make it

Be my sun, on days of rain, Be the warmth, that falls upon my face Be the one, with every new dawns rise, Let your love, shine forever bright. Your sun is shining bright On everything you’re dreaming of. Be the calm, in the centre of the storm, Be the path, to lead me home, Be a star, in my darkest night, Let your love, shine forever bright. Be the sign, to give me hope, Be the fire, a beacon that will glow, Be the friend, on who I can rely, Let your love, shine forever bright.

Dear child, as I write these words, in the hope that they’ll be heard, I wonder what your eyes may see, will they share this setting sun with me? Dear child, I hope you’re fine, that love is yours as it is mine, And these fields are still free to roam, and the birds will soar where the breeze may blow, And the apple nestles upon the tree, and the flower waits to kiss the bee, And the river races like a child, with its sprinkled laughter loud and wild, Did we do enough, was there time to change, Were our prayers heard, did it all work out ok? Hold on, to your, beautiful world, hold on, to this, beautiful world. Dear child, this starlit night, reminds me, we are specks of light, We pass this way, and make our mark, We leave our footsteps shining through the dark. Dear child, are you still there? Or are you sleeping without a care? Well I hope you’re safe, with dreams of joy That you’re not alone, in this great big void, What exci-tement, does each new day bring, Do you write of love, do you dance and sing? Did we leave it safe enough for you, Did we do everything that we could do, Did we care about what we left behind, Were our eyes open wide, or was our vision blind

When I am weak from all, the world, Weary and broken with the load, I close my eyes and calm, my mind, I open my heart to hear, inside. A voice gently comes to speak, with me, Whispers of hope, and faith, and peace, All of my tears, soon, subside, Held in such tender arms of love, that never dies. (It’s filling me) up! It’s pushing me on, It’s lifting me up! It’s keeping me strong!
