ONCE
Once - there were no lislands
then fields of rolling fire
were cooled by endless seasons
the spirits sang
The mountains rang
and answered
Once in the mountains
Tiny seeds and spores began
to cover the land
the spirits sang
The mountains rang
and answered
to life’s desire
Life of a woman
Life of a man
smaller than a century’s span
What is our hunger
Can it be fed
before the ancient wilderness
is dead?
Now
now in the mountains
the hunger has a different sound
Cries to us from naked ground
“Do you remember how sunlight weaves
mist and moss and forest leaves?”
Will you come with me to the lands now bare
And with this human hunger dare
To recreate the land
Recreate the land
seed by seed
hand in hand
recreate the land
ROSES
Roses - bloom any time at all
Their luster awaits they heart's deepest call
so le thy reasonless love
reach out from thy solitude
Winter faces summer as the fall faces spring
let your heart reach out and let another reach in
some petals have to unfold alone
But life is sweeter for sharing
HEAVEN ON EARTH
Oh my Father take my hand
return again to the living land
I can no longer tell
is this a heaven or a hell
I learned the ways of monks and priests
the one who prays is she released?
Is her heart made of steel?
Or like me - can she still feel?
anthum chorus
Heaven on earth
May the light come to the land
Oh Mother of creation
Oh my Father melt these hearts into a star
May we be part of all
May we become
United as One
HONORED BY YOU
I have to feel honored by you
That's what it comes down to
You speak to me with words of love - but I feel
incomplete
Words are fine - should be enough but I listen
with my feet
And to my feet love is a verb - it's what you do
that will be heard
And I have to feel honored by you - that's what it
comes down to
I choose to turn
to where honor can be learned
I am honored by the wind
I am honored by the sun
I am honored by my friends
and the love that never ends
I am honored by the One
andI have to feel honored by you
That's what it comes down to
So this is where our paths diverge
I checked with the map - we could not merge
I'll hold you close some where inside
until my love, we hold each other high
For I am returning from aeons underground
And my love is yearning for the heavenly sound
And I have to feel honored by you
And when I feel honored by you
Oh then I will unleash my passion for you...
SECRETS
IF you would love me
there's something you should know
This body holds the secrets of my soul
this body is a sacred land
Will you touch me now with reverant hands
Video images of nature - the sacred lands
HE SINGS
It would honor me so much
if you would receive my healing touch
peace on earth
may the living sun
demon deity
once
LEARNING HOW TO LOVE
I'm learning how to love
I'm new to loving you
can you help me through
my shyness and my pain
if you open up your door
I'll step in - I'm sure
there's only love to gain
I'm learning how to love
If you felt a lack
perhaps I held some back
try to understand
I'm learning how to give
learning how to live
I'm learning how to love
my fellow man
when you let me in
then we can begin
let's start the miracle
And if I was too much
damaging your trust
try to understand
I'm learning how to give
learning how to live
I'm learning how to love
WHITE TYGER
"Images of you dance through my days and nights,"
he said
Then very slowly he pulled a boa across the bed
"I like your wildness and your laughter that
sounds lile home."
But I was caught in swansdown and could only moan
Ooh White Tyger
with your ice blue flame
My forests are burning
I thought you were tame
I held my hand out - such soft endangered skin
Then without warning - with a flick of your paw
You pulled me in
"I like the taste of fresh woman underneath my
tongue"
But then there were no words at all
His purring had begun
I was the food of the gods for that delicious hour
Where will my soul rest now that my flesh
has been devoured
Ooh White Tyger...
LISTEN TO THE HEAVENLY
Pretty young girl in saffron robes
Waves her finger raise your hopes
And the sun comes down
and a garden grows all around
Listen to the Heavenly Listen to the Heavenly
Listen to the Heavenly Sound
A one man coup the short straw drew
Ah the lives of the solitary ones
they'll conquer us divided
I've already decided to
Listen to the heavenly...
Healthy desire in a heart on fire
Will turn this world around
So throw away your TV
And your drugs IV
And listen to the Heavenly...
Feed on poison nourish it with guilt
that's the way that Babylon was built
So wash out the darkness flush out the shame
and feed your soul on the Holy Name -
What's that secret hidden in your breath
The only solution - The conqueror of death
Listen to the Heavenly Sounds.
PEACE ON EARTH
Peace on Earth
Blessings from the moon
Love all in the middle of a golden afternoon
Love is coming through
This universe is made to be alive
So dance beyond the strategies
the money market drive
And feel the gift of living
It’s real sweet o be forgiving
When the wonder factor declines
Brother can you spare yourself some time?
Chorus
These tender moments of gentleness and touch
will set your atoms swirling - you like it very much
and feel the gift that is hidden
inside the fruit that is forbidden
It is saced - yes and it’s fun
Brother would you dare to become one
And you will feel
Peace on Earth
Blessings from the moon
Love all in the middle of a golden afternoon
Love is coming through
OCEANSONG
Om namah shivaya om shanti om shanti om\
oh way oh wayah way oh
ka moana na uhane
In the beginning was the word
And from that word
Life was heard
All that is
Born of sound
From the heavens to the oceans
To the gentle ground
Echoing everywhere
Singers of Earth, sun and Air
And the voice in the waters - the ceataceans
We are the choirs of creation
Chorus
Dear Mr Military give us time
We’ll help you find
Peace of mind
But the voice in the waters is a joy so strong
We must protect the Ocean Song
We all know the difference when we hear
A song of love Or a cry of fear
Four footed animals know to run
From the sounds of danger - a bomb or a gun
But how can the creatures of the oceans hide
If you broadcast Your terror so far and so wide
Chorus
With just our voices we've prayed and sung
The whales and the dolphins they hear and they come
It's not okay - you cannot claim
It's safe to play your dangerous game
We who sing we are the walking relations
of the great ceatacean nation
Dear Mr Military give us time
We’ll help you find
Peace of mind
But the voice in the waters is a joy so strong
We must protect the Ocean Song
