Lyrics
Far beyond the thought of wrong and right
There is an open space, I’ll meet you in that light
When we lie down there’s nothing to be done
No longer two but only one.
When you turned away and left me in the dark
When you silenced me, abandoning the heart
There I lay and I could hardly breathe
For what I thought was mine, I had to leave
Feels like you are gone. I don’t know where you are
Feels like all is lost and all I see is scars
I walk this maze feeling so alone
Searching everywhere to find my home!
But far beyond the thought of wrong and right
There is an open space, I’ll meet you in that light
When the soul lies down there’s nothing to be done
No longer two but only one.
I’m no longer two
But only
one.

Lyrics
I give in
I give up
Give up to grace
‘Cos I need more help than I know
More help than I know
Don’t know what’s happenin’ to me
One day I’m fine, the next I’m on my knees
Trying to figure this out
Sometimes I whisper, sometimes I shout!
I give in
I give up
Give up to grace
‘Cos I need more help than I know
More help than I know
Thought I could do this alone
Like a wave on the ocean all on my own
But the ocean will care for each wave
Until I come home I have to be brave
So, I give in
I give up
Give up to grace
‘Cos I need more help than I know
More help than I know
It’s bigger than me
There’s more than I know
It’s bigger than me
And I’m not alone
I give in
I give up
Give up to grace
‘Cos I need more help than I know
More help than I know

Lyrics
I believed if I had a perfect face
Then I’d somehow belong here in this place
What I allow you to see, I control
But sometimes I forget my soul
The part of me where there’s no goal
Where I don’t play a role
Metal turns to rust
This image is just matter & dust
Metal turns to rust
My image is mere matter and dust
I’ve had to learn how to play
Earth’s silly little games
But I don’t want to be so vain
So I must recall my true domain
The place from where I came
Where I don’t need a name
Metal turns to rust,
This image is just matter & dust
Metal turns to rust
My image is mere matter and dust
Oh this little self of mine, I’ll hold it lightly
This little self of mine, I’ll hold it lightly
This little self of mine that I’m embodying this time
I’ll hold her lightly
Metal turns to rust,
This image is just matter & dust
Metal turns to rust
My image is mere matter and dust
Matter and dust
Matter and dust
Oooh
Matter and…..

Lyrics
Deep within me
Everyday something new
Will it be sadness or joy
Perhaps some awareness shines through
Well, you’re all welcome here, even you stream of sorrows
Though you may sweep my house
Of all I’ve owned and borrowed
This may be my chance, I’m not gonna fight
You may be clearing me out to reveal the light
What delight!
Oh, you’re a dark one
Malice and shame
But you can enter too
I am game
And you’re all welcome here, even you stream of sorrows
Though you may sweep my house
Of all I’ve owned and borrowed
This may be my chance, I’m not gonna fight
You may be clearing me out to reveal the light
What delight!
And I thank all who have come
For I know you guide from beyond
And you’re all welcome here, even you stream of sorrows
Though you may sweep my house
Of all I’ve owned and borrowed
This may be my chance, I’m not gonna fight…
You’re all welcome here, even you stream of sorrows
Though you may sweep my house
Of all I’ve owned and borrowed
This may be my chance, I’m not gonna fight
You may be clearing me out, you may clear me out,
Go on and clear me out to reveal the light
What delight!

Lyrics
I was gonna change the world
‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever
Was gonna change the world
But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself
Thought if I read every page
Of all that’s been written in every age
Then I’d understand the fragile human heart
Yes, I’d be a sage
I was gonna change the world
‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever
Was gonna change the world
But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself
My method was so concise
Could freeze those pesky feelings in a trice
But now I wanna thaw the pieces of myself
That I’ve kept on ice
I was gonna change the world
‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever
Was gonna change the world
But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself!
Now I’ll start to feel
Was gonna change the world
‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever
Was gonna change the world
But I’m becoming wise…
I was gonna change the world
‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever
Was gonna change the world
But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change
I’ve wised up so I’m gonna feel
I’m wiser so I’m gonna be my whole self

Lyrics
I’m worryin’ ‘bout things not going well
Wakin’ up each day in this living hell
Wanna stop the endless loop that’s running through my mind,
Why am I so unkind……to me?
Why build a prison then sit inside?
Why stay when the door’s open wide?
Oh, why am I doing this to me?
Oh, why stay when I have the key?
Which one of these voices Is it safe to hear?
Which of them is really me and which of them is fear?
Let me look around to see the truth of what I know,
Then I can let go
Why build a prison then sit inside?
Why stay when the door’s open wide?
Oh why am I doing this to me?
Oh, why stay when I have the key?
I must empty out my mind
Leave worry far behind
Thought worry would save my life
But it only brings more strife…to me
Why build a prison then sit inside?
Why stay when the door’s open wide?
Oh, why do I keep doing this to me?
Oh, why stay when I have the key?
Well, I’m leavin’
‘Cos I am the key

Lyrics
Though there’s nowhere to go
I’ll keep walkin’
There’s no need to know
Through the distance
Is not for me to see
I’ll keep walking home to me
I want to fly
Oh I wish I could
‘Cos my mind flies high
Don’t wanna do what I should
Gotta keep my feet here on the ground
So I’ll head in and down and
Though there’s nowhere to go
I’ll keep walkin’
There’s no need to know
Through the distance
Is not for me to see
I’ll keep walking home to me
Life’s a dream
So what am I running from?
By this flowing stream
I’m gonna sing my song
It will all be over all too soon and I will see
The treasure’s in me
Though there’s nowhere to go
I’ll keep walkin’
There’s no need to know
Through the distance
Is not for me to see
I’ll keep walking home to me
I’ll move inside
But not the way fear makes me wanna slide
I’ll move inside
There’s nowhere to arrive
To arrive
Though there’s nowhere to go
I’ll keep walkin’
There’s no need to know
Through the distance
Is not for me to see
So I’ll walk all the way home
to me
to me

Lyrics
To save yourself, you bled all over me
It wasn’t fair, you were blind, you couldn’t see
That you denied the longing in your soul
To reunite, to be whole
But letting go of being strong
All is revealed
The wound is where the light came in
So I could be healed
I let you get away with crushing my heart
No one ever held you accountable for your part
And though I see where I abandoned myself
Now I know that my innocence is my wealth
And letting go of being strong
All is revealed
The wound is where the light came in
So I could be healed
And all of the fragmentations
Suddenly reuniting in my soul
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Oh, I’m coming home

Lyrics
The morning breeze has secrets for me
Will I take the leap?
Oh, I may seek my heart’s desire
Or go back to sleep.
I am traveling back and forth
Across this doorway
My heart is the place where the worlds collide
So I’ll go deep
And won’t go back, back to sleep
The morning breeze has secrets for me
Will I take the leap?
Oh, I may seek my heart’s desire
Or go back to sleep.
Back to sleep
Back to sleep
This open portal
Is beckoning my soul
I’ll be the bridge between the worlds
Yes, I’ll go deep
And won’t go back, back to sleep
The morning breeze has secrets for me
Will I take the leap?
Oh, I may seek my heart’s desire
Or go back to sleep.
Well now I’m awake
Now I’m awake
Now I’m awake
I won’t go back
The morning breeze has secrets for me
I think I’ll take the leap
Oh, I will claim my heart’s desire
And never go back to sleep
Won’t go back
Won’t turn back

Lyrics
A knock came at the door
‘Who is there’?
Oh, it is I, it is me
May I enter in?
May I enter in?’
‘Go now
For there is no room within
For you and me
Me and you
Oh, no’
Now what shall I do?
I am lost
Lost without you
Now what shall I say?
I am lost
Lost with no way
Without you
Oh, I’m you
A knock came once more
‘Who is there?’
It is you
It’s YOU!
‘Oh, enter beloved
For I am within’
