And When I Rise
04:29
|
|||
|
And when I rise, let me rise
Like a bird, joyfully.
And when I fall, let me fall
Like a leaf, gracefully…
Without regrets
And when I sit, let me sit
Just like the mountains do, solidly.
And when I walk, let me walk
Just like a tiger does, mindfully.
And when I breathe, let me breathe
Like the wind, refreshingly.
And when I smile, let me smile
Like the sun, radiantly.
And when I listen, let me listen
Like the full moon does, openly.
And when I speak, let me speak
Like my teacher does, lovingly.
And when I work, let me work
Like a bee, whole-heartedly.
And when I play, let me play
Like the children do, freely.
And when I wake, let me wake
Just like the dawn, naturally…
Miraculously.
And when I sleep, let me sleep
Like a bear, peacefully…
Until it’s time…until it’s time.

Simple Things
03:22
|

|
Simple things, simple things
Simple things, simple things
I get my joy from the simple things
Coming from the earth
I get my joy from the sun that shines
And the water speaks to me
Listen to the rain and listen to the water
Hear what they say
Singing "Hay Yah! Hay Yah! Hay Yah! Hey Yah!
Hey Yah! Hey Yah! Hey Yah! Hey!"
Singing "Hay Yah! Hay Yah! Hay Yah! Hey Yah!
Hey Yah! Hey Yah! Hey Yah! Hey!"

No Wait

No wait: no wait for me to change your life
Look to the miracle going on inside you
To all the farmers: you are your field
Tend to your land and grow your freedom
In each, a flower unfurling
A flower unfurling
No wait: no wait for anything - take to the sky
You are a phoenix rising, you are a monarch butterfly
Survey your kingdom with awakened eyes
See the spring and summer in the winter moonlight
In each, a river is flowing
A river is flowing
No wait: no wait for anyone for your peace of mind
Know your rhythm and bide your time
You are living miracle in constant change
And when you see this clearly, nothing will contain you
In each, a mystery unfolding
A mystery unfolding
In each, a wonder to behold
In everyone is a flower
A mystery, a wonder
In each, a story being told
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing

Love Will Return
03:10

Listen to the wind, it whistles a song
Follow the sunrays, they invite you to
Come along
To come along
Let’s hear the thunder coming our way
Don’t be afraid, there’s nothing to worry ‘bout
We’re the same
All the same
Just open your eyes - see what’s here
This is a world you hold dear
Do not forget, do not neglect
Be sweet to her
Love will return
They say love, love, love, love will return
They say love, love, love, love will return
They say love, love, love, love will return
And it will, if you just let her

The holy mountain is here!
The sacred temple is here!
The only way is right now
This is it! This is a happy moment
This is it! This is a wonderful moment
This is it! I have arrived in this moment
And the only moment is now
The only moment is now
This is it! Only breath breathing
This is it! Only life blooming
This is it! Only interbeing
And the only way is right now
The only way is right now
Only breath breathing
Only life blooming
The only way is right now
The only way is right now
This is it! The holy mountain is here
This is it! The sacred remple is here
This is it! The pathless path is here
And the only place is right now
The only place is right now
And the only way is right now
The only way is right now
And the only moment is now
The only moment is now

Song of Celebration
03:24
|

|
The sky is deeper blue today
Because I have awareness.
The trees are more alive today
As I breathe in the greeness.
The birds are soaring higher
With my eyes following their path.
The children's laughter is brighter
As my own lips are blooming.
And you, you are closer to me
Than ever before
Because
I know myself more.
The sky is deeper blue today
Because I have awareness.
The trees are more alive today
As I breathe in the greeness.
The birds are soaring higher
With my eyes following their path.
The children's laughter is brighter
As my own lips are blooming.
And you, you are closer to me
Than ever before
Because
I know myself more.
And you, you are closer to me
Than every before
Because I know
I know myself more.

Go As A River
03:46
|
|||
|
I want to go as a river
Not as a drop of water
Just flow in harmony
Selfishness, we surrender
I want to go as a river
Not as a drop of water
We learn to live mindfully
Truly there for each other
How fresh the stream of spirituality
How wonderful to be able to see
That we are all water
We are all water
I want to go as a river
Not as a drop of water
For sure we will reach the sea
Of peace, love and clarity

Laugh all my laughter …
Cry all my tears …
Gonna love the rain just as deeply as the …
Sun when it clears
Gonna let life move me, gonna let life stir me deep
Gonna let life wake me from this ancient sleep
Gonna laugh all my laughter, gonna cry all my tears
Gonna love the rain just as deeply as the sun when it clears
Sun when it clears …
Gonna love the rain, gonna love the rain …
Gonna let life move me, gonna let life shake me down
Gonna let life show me the joy that's all around
Gonna laugh all my laughter, gonna cry all my tears
Gonna love the rain just as deeply as the sun when it clears
Gonna let life move me, gonna let life pull me on
Gonna let life teach me the beauty of this song
Gonna laugh all my laughter, gonna cry all my tears
Gonna love the rain just as deeply as the sun when it clears
Gonna love the rain just as deeply as the sun when it clears
