If you find this world, too much to bear, And wonder what on earth, you ‘re doing here, Its not a mystery, read your history, The spirit plays the game, we call life! Its not an easy choice, to come and play, A little pain and joy, may fill your day, But if you take the time, figure it out, You will know the truth! You got soul power! The soul is lost from sight, in our daily lives, You think its hard to find, Somewhere deep inside, But it waits for us, to communicate, Standing by your side, and just a thought away. For the lives we live, the price is hard, We have wandered far, from who we really are, And we all have days, so dark in doubt, But from the heart I say… You don’t need no middle man, to talk on your behalf, There’s a direct line, starting from your heart, Those who would bend your will, you can do without, Start a conversation because…

Are you awakened? Are you aware? The lies that were spoken, are no longer there. Our shoulders are burdened, with choices to make, Each pathway is waiting, which one will you take, Which one will you take? Learning by loving, growing by knowing, myself Sharing by showing, serving by giving, myself Working together, serving the whole, United in motion, under the will of the soul, The river banks broken, no-one can ignore, The gate is swung open, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Give yourself, forgive yourself, find yourself, remind yourself, Free yourself, believe yourself, dream yourself, release yourself, Discover yourself, uncover yourself, unbutton yourself, Get in touch with yourself, untie yourself, unite yourself, Surprise yourself, divine yourself.

be kinder 04:50
Got to try to be kinder. Open our arms a little wider! Got to try to be wiser, set our sights a little higher Got to look to eachother, see beyond any colour, Got to love one another, see above all the thunder! It’s easier to hate and blame, than to forgive and move beyond the pain, And for each of us in our own way, it’s this decision we will have to face, Why do we do what we do? Stop and think it through, Every word and thought, may eventually be true. It’s easy to believe its true, that we are leaves upon a wind so cruel, (But) one idea can blossom, if given time, (And a) mountain moves, we thought could never be climbed, Why do we do what we do? Stop and think it through, Every word and thought, may eventually be true. Whatever you do, will come back to you, The love that you share, will find you again, The kindness you show, is a seed that is sown, Be a gardener of love, compassion and hope.

Take a moment for yourself, find somewhere that you can rest, close your eyes and visualise, a glowing ball of pure white. Breathe, the light, in Quiet your mind, and you are free, held within eternity, Find the place that you hold dear, see it colourful and clear. Friends , come to greet you, Teachers, may seek to reach you, Wisdom is freely given, If, you choose to listen Will you listen, Learn to listen
5.
Open up your eyes, in these troubled times There’s a quiet revolution of, spirit and mind, Gentle persuasion, without a single shout, And a tender motion, as the light breathes out. Love is a mighty force, that flows (giving life to every soul) Love is a word, for that which binds us all, By whatever name you pray, or power that you call, Love is the foundation, upon which all things begin, The seat of creation, the kingdom within. Love flows, within every soul
6.
Picture, peaceful, people, See them, freely, meeting, Sharing, caring, healing, Hear them, clearly, speaking! (and they say) (We’re) Making a better world together Homes are, open, greeting, Children, safely, sleeping, Labour, divided , meaning, Voices, join in, repeating, (and they sing) Reach out, reach up, bring light, bring love!

all i want 04:47
All I want, all I want, all I want, all I want, Is a little peace, and understanding in this world. And with the motion of our minds, and with all our thoughts, combined, One silent prayer to the night, And we can bring this dream alive! We can bring this dream alive! Bring this dream alive!
8.
Give me the land to stretch my feet, Give me a drum that I might beat Give me a voice that I can sing, Give me the joy, all these things bring Give me friends to share my time, Give me a goal to which I aspire Give me knowledge that I may grow, Give me the lesson that I may know Give me the sunshine on my face, Give me a love that I can praise Give me a flower full of scent, Give me a thirst that I must quench Give me a shoulder I can lend, Give me a tomorrow I can spend Give me a conscience for a guide, Give me a smile I cannot hide (We all have a) spark within And my light shines! Give me a valley I may roam, Give me a truth to call my own Give me a well where I can draw, Give me a key to a brand new door Give me a dance to lose myself, Give me an apple for my health Give me a promise I can keep, Give me an itch I cannot reach Give me a sail and open sea, Give me a guitar and melody Give me a field where I might lay, Give me a map to find my way Give me a bag of joy to spread, Give me a Sunday to stay in bed Give me a hammer to repair, Give me a world that I can share And my light shines!

I’m more than alive, the spirit lives within Before breath, and a heartbeat, you decide, Page one and the tale begins, on the wings of time Light and shade, night and day, left or right, You and I, made a choice, to live a life! But…. Free will, to understand, how do you feel? Step in to a game plan, you play it for real, Unseen a support team, you’re never alone, Energy, you and me, and all that we’ve known. When you search, and seek to find, you’re more than alive, When you love, all the same, you’re more than alive. When you try, to do no harm, you’re more than alive, When you watch the stars dancing, you’re more than alive, When you see the soul in the skin, you’re more than alive, When you make a home of your heart, you’re more than alive.
10.
Let us begin, to trust ourselves, again, To find the truth, where it waits within, For far too long, the lies have led, Once seen for what they are, they are powerless! Love, is the currency of the heart You can believe, you can have faith, Just know within each breath, you are, the ever lasting flame, Each hand you hold, each smile you give, The gold you seek, is every spirit that you lift! And all that you take, is all that you give The worth of a life, is the way it’s been lived, Just be a friend, to the stranger in need, Through your kindness you show, you are wealthy in deed. You are wealthy indeed.

Everybody wants a home to go to, wants peace of mind, Somewhere to feel safe, have a peaceful night. Everybody want a ray of sunshine, all got a friend in need, Everybody got a bag of worries, all got a life to lead. Here we are, all together, here for one another, here to find the love. Give a little bit of love to someone, send a thought or two, Fill your heart with wishes, and they’ll come back to you. Everybody got to get to some place, got a tale to tell, It never hurt to lend a hand in friendship, You may need the same yourself!

(There’s something in the) air, (can’t explain it,) It’s simply everywhere! (A feelin’ from in)side, (I can’t hide it!) It’s something we should share. Ain’t nothing but change, going on, and nothing stays still for very long! Gathered voices call, one word, the pain in our hearts, must be heard, It’s written upon, each page, the struggle for truth, in every age, Wherever you are, you are a part, the story is ours, future, present and past. Did I tell you that you’re free, if you want to be, its up to you, not me, Doesn’t matter who you are, underneath the stars ,we are all, family, The taste is sweet, upon my tongue, hope for better things to come, Let the wonder of the world, remind your eyes, all things have purpose, in disguise.

Hear the children sing (la la la) How their voices ring We are all family, in blood and in bone, Connected together, in spirit and in soul, Our lives are our lessons, and the trials that they bring, Can we serve one another, hear the children sing. Man and woman, boy and girl, sharing hopes and dreams the same, Some days are filled with laughter, some spent learning through our pain, See the wonder and the glory, at the heart of everything, There is music all around us, the simple song a child might sing…. And the sun shine is shining, down on every face, Treat each other kindly, show some grace, Night and day will find you, it’s always been, No matter where you are, the children love to sing!

We are, we are, living our lives in love We are, we are, giving ourselves to love We are, we are, bringing this world some love We are. We are, singing this song of love Every where you look, seek and you will find, Truth on every street, keep an open mind Trust in what you feel, follow down that road, Open up your heart, let it speak your soul, Wisely use your words, see from every side, Honour every path, be each others guide, gentle with each step, temper every thought, Keep emotions close, and lessons will be taught. Over many lives, we may meet again, Each a new disguise, a new game of pretend, To settle out a debt, a balance that we owe, A chance to right a wrong, another chance to grow. Time is but a tool, to make the lesson real, The pain and joy endured, will teach us how to feel, Until our final breath, offers us release, Returning to the source, for waiting friends to greet. (Love love love love love love) Give more, show more, speak more, feel more! See more, think more, touch more, receive more! Discover more, uncover more, recover more, explore more! Have more, hold more, release more, reveal more! Create more, suggest more, supply more, invest more! Find more, dream more, be more, free more!
