Always Wandering
04:37
|

Way down there
See you walking in the woods
Always wandering
Searching for a place
To rest your head
My head's full of locations
I imagine you have lain
I'm always wandering
Seeking all the signs
I know you've seen
And what they mean...
Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know, so
Seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know...
We're Always wandering
Always wandering
I've seen some
Imprisoned by old secrets
They were keeping
Blind to all the light that guides their way
Oh, what a shame
Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know, so
Seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know...
Always wandering
We're always wandering
You who walk with courage
Through the darkness and the light
Always wandering
Searching with that smile upon your face
For Life's embrace
Seek and you shall find
Life happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know, so
Seek and you shall find
Love happens in its own time
Seek and you shall find
You know and I know...
Always wandering
We're always wandering

Every Leaf
03:12
|

In every leaf a universe
In every verse a unity
Of leaves and trees and mysteries
Oh who knows what it means
I am sitting in your shade
Filled with gratitude
For every leaf you've made
The sun is shining bright today
So I'll rest a while and
Soon I will be on my way
In every leaf a universe
In every verse a unity
Of leaves and trees and mysteries
Oh who knows what it means
I read futures in their veins
Simply telling me that
Life always finds a way
Until I am back home again
I will sit here in wonder learning how to pray
In every leaf a universe
In every verse a unity
Of leaves and trees and mysteries
Oh who knows what it means
Can it mean what it seems
I am all that I have seen
Whether sacred or unclean
I am part of everything
In every leaf a universe
In every verse a unity
Of leaves and trees and mysteries
Oh who knows what it means
Who knows what it means
Who knows what it means
Now look at all these seeds

Music
03:05
|
|||
All things resonate, from the really small
To the extra great, and
You are such a melody, that the heavens lean down
Just to sing it to me,
It's all
Music, music x2
Feel this all vibrate from the roots of a tree
To the tip of the tongue of a snake
Yes we all create, together in love
What a song we can make, it's all
I know your name
Your notes are all interlaced
I feel you contained
Nothing out of place, it's all
Rest, now, little one
You're already here, there's no more to be done
In the morning, we'll greet the sun
And celebrate what a song we have sung, it's all

Eskawaya kayawai, kayawai kiki
What you do not eat
I will devour
Right down to the core
Until the seed falls out
Sinks into the ground
And the tree bursts forth
And the fruit falls down
In the soft moist loam
In the undergrowth
Where all creatures know
What that seed is worth
I will lay me down
And I will sink in too
Just like the seed
I will feed the new
And my leaves will wave
Hello goodbye
Hello goodbye
Hello goodbye
Yes my leaves will wave
Hello goodbye
Hello goodbye
Hello goodbye
Can you hear them...
Whispering
Their secrets learned
From the sun
Eskawata kayawai

The Light's Alive
02:16
|
|||
Did you know the sun is always shining
No matter where you stand it's always rising
Somewhere in the world
Somewhere in the world, the light's alive
Time will spin us on the breeze
Hope will feed us 'til we're free
We are all worth it, we are all worth it
We are all
Though we know our love is just a drop within the ocean
We will never have a doubt about the depth of this emotion
Somewhere in the world
Somewhere in the world, the light's alive
Act upon the words I've said or this is all just in my head
But I know the way to you, holding on to all that's true
We will find a way to get on through
Time it spins us on the breeze
Hope it feeds us on the breeze
We are all worth it, we are all worth it
We are all
Time will spin us on the breeze
Hope will feed us 'til we're free
Somewhere in the world
All over the world the light's alive

Wild & Free
03:17
|

Things in life can get so awfully full of the crazy some days
So here a little something that will hopefully he help you on your way
I've been singing your song
Just in case you might have forgotten
You belong, the writer's never wrong
So celebrate your life and be reborn
We're born to be wild and free
Free to breathe
To give and to receive
Love, in you I do believe
From birth to death
In this great mystery
Don't take it too seriously
You're just God unfolding
Turn your face to the sun
Please remember you have always been the one
Now we're learning the names
Holy indescribable things
Music, magic and dreams
Oh, Miracle, I am what I believe!
We're born to be wild and free
Free to breathe
To give and to receive
Love, in you I do believe
From birth to death
In this great mystery
Into what happens next
In this great mystery

Love Jumps
02:55
|
|||
Love jumps off my tongue
Swims within the ocean
Of all the words I've spoken
Loving you
I though my heart was broken
But it had just cracked open
To be wide enough to soak in
Loving you
You are the early morning dew
Fresh and sweet and juicy
Like peachy creamy...you
Yes, you are the definition of you
You are serious...ly fun
I'd be delighted to laugh with you
Until all our day are done
And then end on a chuckle cos the love goes on
I have made mistakes along the way
I know that some of them have caused you pain
Now look into my eyes
Look into my eyes and you will see
That love is the story of you and me

Oh My Good Friend
02:28
|
|||
Oh, my emotion
You have always been the one
Since I met you
Fresh to life like morning sun
Oh my, fragile
When I first held you in my arms
My, my, sweet one
I fell for all your perfect charms
And I'm falling still
And I always will
Oh my good friend
Our road leads ever on
Oh my, we've been through
Broken home and broken hearts
But also so many
Wild free days and belly laughs
And they're falling still
And they always will
Oh my good friend
Our road leads ever on
So simple when we live it like this
Oh, when I feel your love with every breath
So, I can't wait to see what happens next
We'll be falling still
Yes we always will
Oh my good friend
Our road leads ever on

Blur & Blend
03:58
|
|||
Is this world big enough to hold the tears I've yet to shed
I'm not through yet, I'm not through yet
Cos I know she can't stand the weight of all we've left unsaid
What's unexpressed weighs down into the depths
Me and mine
Give our time to make amends
As the lines
Between us blur and blend
You are home
So stay holy, whole and unrepentant
Yes, I said it
There's no need to feel ashamed
Me and mine
Give our time to make amends
As the lines
Between us blur and blend
In the dark
Diving deep you'll see the spark becomes a flame
'til you're awake, alive,
Burned clean by Love again
Me and mine
Give our time to make amends
As the lines
Between us blur and blend

Everything
04:01
|

I’m just a breeze
Just the breathe you take next
In your unfolding
Look at your wings
Open wide, how they shine
Lighting up everything
I’m just the weeds
Pushing up through the cracks
In your broken dreams
Blossoming
'til your world is filled, with
Flowering everything
I’m just a weave
In the tapestry
Called you and me
Unravelling, re-Ravelling
Forever into everything
I’m just what you believe
What you give
What you receive
Reflecting
Going out coming in
Mirroring everything
I'm just unseen
If you've been where I've been
Damn, that's some rambling
Invisibly,
Indivisibly
Dissolved into everything
I’m just a tease
Sneakily teasing
Your old memories
See, see what i mean
You have changed
You are changing
Transforming everything
