Be A Friend
05:52

Where will we be in the end?
Will we still be someone's friend,
When their love has all been spent,
Will we still have love for them?
Will our hearts be open
When their lives are broken?
Or will we just give a token smile
And still stay lonely all the while?
Don't be afraid, be a friend
Let love capture you again
Let this love take you by the hand
And we will go to unknown places
Rediscovering the traces
Of what was lost when we decided
To insulate ourselves
What's the key to success in life?
What's the me in the how and the why?
What's the reason for all this strife
When we all had one blood?
When we all all one love
When we all have one breath
When we all have one life
When we all have one death
Open the door
(repeats)
We're deciding
To open up the door
To trust again once more
We're deciding
To let our hearts run free
Now our blind eyes will see

Ok Child

You're gonna be ok child
You're gonna be ok
I want you to know
You're gonna be ok
As you grow up
And your legs take you so far
Don't look behind you
Don't be scared of the dark
'Cause Abba be watching you
As you grow up
And your faith takes you so far
Don't look behind you
Don't be scared of the dark
'Cause Abba be watching you
With one love in one tune in harmony
We will sing our songs for the future
And you will be the one who will run when I'm through
And when you're done with the fun then a new
Generation will sing with us too

Greater Light
08:19
|

|
Chorus:
I've seen a greater light that shines oh so bright
So I can give of myself now
I've felt the strongest tide, and this one feels so right
So I can give of myself now
I've seen a greater light that shines oh so bright
So I can give of myself now
I've felt the strongest tide, and this one is worth the fight
So I can give of myself now
Verse 1:
It's like I can almost remember
When creation unfolded with splendour
It's like something of Genesis remains
Embedded in my bones since the first breath to dust
And I can still remember
When you took me up in the snow
And you left me awestruck and breathless
And if there are words I don't know
Bridge:
Something of this touch
excites in me a memory of what was meant to be
Transcending all space and time and human illusion
Constructs of the mind
Something of this touch
Redefines what it means just to be
What it means just to breathe
Carry me over the sea
Let me see the reflection of love in the sky
Verse 2:
And the wind seems to know where to go
Born of butterfly, now tornado
And the Spirit still blows with intention
Whispering gently and tenderly
To him who has ears let him hear
To him who has ears let him hear

Find Your Peace
08:42
|
|||
|
Do you love your life?
Do you know where you came from?
Do you know?
Or do you run? Do you hide?
Do you know where you're going?
What you're on to find?
Do you spend your time
In another dimension?
Someone else's pretend life
Do you fill your mind
With beautiful distractions?
Is there static on the line?
We have not time
For all these distractions
So please follow my lead
I want you to know
There's a place where you can go
To find your peace
Have you dreams? Have you vision?
Did you hope no one would ask you?
Well here I am
Can you look into my eyes?
Or does my voice echo off the walls
Of the emptiness inside you?
Take off your emblems
And be what you are today
You are you aren't you?
I want you to know
There's a place where you can go
To find your peace
Are you gone with the wind?
Are you finding your feet again?
Are you thrown overboard?
Or have you just abandoned ship?

Give Thanks
06:50

Give thanks
(repeats)
Just as the sun bows down on the sea
Just as the flower folds up in the evening
Just as the trees in the fall drop their leaves
I will fall on my face
I will drop to my knees
And give thanks for the light of the day
Give thanks for the sun on my face
Give thanks for the beautiful way
I deserve nothing, yet I have received grace
The sun shines on the good and the evil
The rain falls on the just and the proud
The wind blows for the kind and the cruel just the same
Just the same
Help us to love one another
Show us the way of the heart
Teach us to give thanks and praise every day
Just the same
We open our hands
We open our hearts
(repeats)

(repeats)
I will open up my soul
I will let my heart be known
The deepest parts of me
Will not be unseen

In Heart, In Mind
08:44
|
|||
|
Waves of light
Cascading down the mountainside
So deep, so high
So pure, so right
Breath of life
Invading me from every side
So clean, so divine
Chorus:
In heart, in mind
(repeats)
Words of life
Spoken through the firelight
Whispered through the dark of night
Love untamed and love untied
Chorus:
In heart, in mind
(repeats)
Bridge:
Break down my walls and my defences
My selfish pride and my offenses
Awake my spiritual senses
To know the meaning of this presence

One Touch

|
Just one touch,
One touch changes everything
(repeats)
Just one touch in the spirit,
One touch changes everything
(repeats)
I will never be let go,
I will never be let go
(repeats)
Just one touch, Great Spirit
One touch changes everything
(repeats)
Just one touch, Healing Spirit
One touch changes everything
I will never be let go,
I will never be let go
(repeats)
This love is deeper than the ocean
This love is higher than the stars
This love is wider than the universe for me
I will never be let go,
I will never be let go

Beloved

Beloved
Beloved
Beloved
Beloved
Beloved, let us love
One another, for love is of God
And everyone who loves
Is born of God and knows God
So come
As one
And let us love
So come
As one
And let us love
Come gather ‘round the fire children
Come gather ‘round the flame
Come gather ‘round the fire children
And let us love
When we love mysteries are revealed
When we love our hearts are unsealed
When we love hopes are restored
When we love we can dream once more
When we love we can see the light of a new day
When we love sometimes we just don’t know what to say
When we love we be liftin’ right off the floor
When we love we can walk right through that open door
We can walk right through that open door
We can walk right through that open door
And he who does not love
Does not know God, for God is love

La mañana, es la mañana
(repeats)
It’s the morning of a brand new day
