Droplet

Not so far away
Not so far away
From what makes you able
From the food on my table
Deliver me unto my body
There to know peak and valley
Deep in your web, a droplet kept
Deep in your web, we drank and slept
We drank and slept and rose with the sun
Of the all-loving one
Not so far away
Not so far away
From the day we leave the ground
Hypnotized by electric sounds
Are we destined for skyrocketing bodies?
Destined to make another planet home?
Deep in your web, can we escape death?
Deep in your web, we drank and slept
Deep in your web, can we escape death?
Deep in your web, we drank and slept
We drank and slept and rose with the sun
Of the all-loving one
Deep in your web, a droplet kept
Deep in your web, we drank and slept

Overflow
05:02
|
|||
Extending into this oh,
Into this phosphorescent glow
Wind and weave and feel it pull me
Wind and weave and feel it pull
As gravity is leaving me behind
So fly, overflow with light
So fly, overflow
Crossing over, changing states
Becoming lighter, more awake
The wind and earth are pleased to meet
Elemental reunion, gathering complexity
The wind and earth finally meet
And find levity
So fly, overflow with light
So fly, overflow

Stream Into the Night
03:17
|

Stream into the night
Like smooth lace, woven water
Inbetween worlds
Touching your face
Oooh...

Silent Revolution
06:27
|
|||
Starting from the southernmost seed
Upward and out, spiraling
Cause it changes from the inside
Out
Cause it changes from the inside
Out
So I give it time to blossom through
Growing up, growing out
Running to, to the sun
Protect my eyes from what will come
Quietly pouring from the mouth
Waves churning, churning me out
Overcome by the southern sun
Pulling me upward and out
Cause it changes from the inside
Out
Cause it changes from the inside
Out
Cause it changes from the inside
Out
Suddenly stirring
Twisting and turning
This spark is now burning
And it's all coming out
This silent revolution is turning around and around and around...
This silent revolution...

Canyon
04:33
|
|||
Oh, canyon walls, carry my voice
Carry my soul across the land
Oh, high mountain air, carry our prayers
Carry these bones into your arms
And they will find their peace
And open eyes to see
That you are always there
In every rock and tree
I see the wild in me
Oh, canyon walls, traveling your shapes
Learning your place, where crystals come from
Oh, deep in the earth, bury my eyes
Fill up my sight with diamond light
And in your embrace, purity to trace
Back to my roots, all else to erase
And in your embrace, purity to trace
Back to my roots, all else to erase
But truth

Emerge
06:17
|
|||
To emerge, to unfold
To gaze into the unknown
To live, to grow
To give the finest grace you can be
To life, to the action, the feeling
That never ever lies
Awaken, and embrace
The air, the clouds, the sky
As its new height is forming
Up from the inside
To allow what is spoken
To be heard as a listener
To the sounds as it's forming
Out of the emergent seed
You know that you are giving
So, when you open up and hold
The space where all your parts come alive
To life, to the action, the feeling
That never ever lies
Awaken, and embrace
The air, the clouds, the sky
As its new height is forming
Up from the inside
Where all your parts come from
Up from the inside
Where all your parts come alive!
Gracefully soften into her form
I absorb
Her wisdom, her pain
Her knowing, like rain
Flooding upon me
Like rain
Flooding upon me
Like rain
Flooding upon me
Like rain...
Where all your parts come alive!
As she rocks me to sleep
Sending something so sweet
Her offering is she eats, whatever
I let her carry me
Like a river into the sea
I am surrendering
Like a river into the sea
I am surrendering
I am surrendering
I am surrendering...

Flowers & Lead
04:50
|
|||
Oh, don't wake me from my slumber
For by choice, I have gone to rest
In my bed made of flowers and lead
In my bed made of flowers and lead
There is so much weight
What is my place on earth?
Underneath the weight
Of all that's waiting to birth
Oh, when I wake from a deep slumber
And brush my eyes
Will you stand beside me with silent knowing
And offer me time?
Will you offer me time?
There is so much weight
What is my place on earth?
Underneath the weight
Of all that's waiting to birth
Every soul has a ticking clock
Set to the moment the veils come off
Pray not to see before you are ready
I forgive you and offer you time
I forgive you and offer you time
You are never late
In finding your place on earth
You are never late
The time will come to give birth

Forever Echoing
03:42
|
|||
Our actions are forever echoing
You see, life: a gift
Whatever we can give to lift the veils and see
Our responsibility
To our self, to our health, our richness
And even our poverty
We all things, we all things, we all things
So let it be
We: all things, we all things, we all things
We: effortless beauty
Forever echoing
Effortless beauty
Forever echoing...
Whatever we take
We must return
Whatever we take
We must return
Cause we're standing on the shoulders
Of our ancestry
Round and round it goes
Forever it echoes through every part of you & me
All things, returning to the soil down below
Cycling effortlessly, as long as I can let it go
From my hands back home
I give it back
Let go
From my hands into home
I give it back to the whole
And release and let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it be free
This effortless beauty
Forever echoing...

The Seeker
05:09
|
|||
The seeker, to wander
The edge of the canyon is my home
I'm searching, neverending
To gather the seeds from around the earth
Discovering the newness of
Each moment in passing, in passing me by
Discovering the newness of
Each moment in passing, in passing me by-y-y...
The stillness of a moment
Stopping and settling the dust
The mirror in the water
Is open to curious eyes
Deepening connection
To the mover and those who are moved
Invisible, yet tangible
I'm following breezes in passing me by-y-y...
And when I found the road
I opened up my arms
And when the road found me
I opened up to breathe
And threw it all away
To open up a space...
I threw it all away
To open up a space...
