Rise

Accept the choices you’ve made
in your war for peace
Being content is rarely the end
but a by-product of the journey
We can only ever do what we think is right (x3)
A blackboard mantra for regret
Sigh, baby sigh
Oh cry, darlin, cry
Scream, love, scream
but rise, dear rise
Let your tears be morning dew on the dawn of your renewal (x3)
and Rise, dear rise

Rest Your Weary Mind
Rest your weary mind, love
It won’t take you any farther now
Rest your heart and rest your body
No they won’t take you any farther now
( Rest your spirit, rest your spirit
It will take you where you want to go ) x2
Top of the hill and under the ocean
Inside the earth and over the bridge
Your home is within and also beyond you
Your home is within and also beyond
Dai dai dai….
( Your home is within and also beyond you
Your home is within and also beyond ) x2
Dai dai dai…

Slow it Down
(Slow it down, slow it down, girl
Slow it way way way down
Start close in with the breath, girl
Let the moment be found) x2
All those hopes, all those fears, dear
Let them churn in your heart
There is no need to know, dear
How to tell them apart
Slow it down, slow it down, girl
Slow it way way way down
Start close in with the breath, girl
Let the moment be found
Some will tell you it’s perfect
But really who the hell knows?
Only you’ve got your eyes dear
Only you walk that way
Drink the wisdom of what’s here
Whether it’s love or it’s hate
They are here for a reason
No I ain’t talkin fate
So slow it down, slow it down, girl
Learn to choose for yourself
Slow it down, slow it down, girl
Shed those shoulds from your chest
Slow it down, slow it down, girl
Slow it way way way down
Start close in with the breath, girl
Let the moment be found
I am…. I am…. I am…..

Choosing into the Dark
06:04
|
|||
|
In the wandering of my mind I find
Truth has long since left my eyes
Tumbling down through fear and time
Groundlessness of every kind
(who, who, who are you, who are you? x2
who, who?) x2
(Though the paths seem blocked and the tension builds
in my heart, in my heart, I know..) x2
When I’m choosing into the dark
My confusion brings me to my heart
When I’m choosing not to know
My confusion brings me to my heart
When I’m choosing kindness first
Even anger brings me to my heart
When I’m choosing not to know
This fear me brings me to heart
Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Swaha
When I’m choosing kindness first
My experience brings me to my heart

Dying is a Sacred Song
04:26
|
|||
|
What I know to be true
is a portal for dying
Every want, every fear
repeating years of contriving
Listen ~ do you know what it is to die?
Do you know that your heart barely makes it through the fire?
Do you know where the roots of your vision lie?
Are you seeing what’s here?
Or simply the echoes of time…
Will you risk the collapse of all that you think you need?
To escape… all that you believe
What will you choose when the light of experience fades?
The safety of your fear or the vastness of your one true face?
Dying is a sacred song… (x4)
Sing it till you come home
Sing it till the truth is clear
Sing it with all your fears
Oh… baby, sing it with all your fears
Cuz dying is a sacred song
Oh… I tell you nothing is wrong
Dying is a sacred song
I tell you nothing is wrong

Stop a minute, take a second
is it really true
what they say about you…?
Mirrors blinding, masks refining
what is underneath
how you show yourself, ooh?
Can you be a love so vast
that it can hold the truth
that they’re showing you? x2
Mind’s a winding, down the vine
projections shining through
what is there to do?
[ Stop (!) for just one second, dear
and really hear, what this is about
Stop and see the river that’s flowing
between you, between me
Stop and see the river that’s flowing
it is you, it is me
What was once on one bank
Moves around to the other
It’s fluid you’ll see, despite what the mind believes ] x2
It’s fluid you’ll see, despite what the mind believes x2

Love and Found
05:46

With the love of my mother I find my way… x4
Roses along the path to openness
Roses along the path to healing
Roses along the path to forgiveness
The roses my mother’s gift to me
Awakened sky
Deep moon
The water’s womb
And the sea’s tune
A little dance
a sway of air
the little signs
my mother’s there
With the love of my mother I find my way… x4
Roses along the path to openness
Roses along the path to healing
Roses along the path to forgiveness
The roses my mother’s gift to me
(Jai ma…
Jai ma…
Jai jai jai jai jai jai jai ma….x2
Jagadambe Ma… )

Lessons on Love

Chorus:
How much can you hold in your heart?
Yeah, how much can you hold in your heart?
Maybe two things that are so far apart
Yeah, how much can you hold in your heart?
Oh I know, you walk the earth as lovers do
But don’t you ever curse the world like I do?
Oh I know, somedays the color’s burstin’ through
But darlin’, does this mess always make sense to you?
It might seem so different
One day to the next
It’s easy to choose one and not the rest
Chorus
Who’s to say we’re one and not the other?
I think that I’m a hater and I’m a lover
Who’s to say we’re one and not the other?
I’m a dreamer. But some days I just can’t bother
Cuz don’t you know? The wheel turns
Don’t you know? The wheel turns
Don’t you know? The wheel turns…
and we turn with it
Chorus
Oh I know the things that you won’t cop to
But who’s to say that means I can’t love you?
Oh I know, darlin’ these roles I’ve played them too
So tell me, how can I hold it against you?
What if the things that make you so great…
are also the things I can’t tolerate? x2
If you asked me a year or two ago..
I would have told you that this was impossible x2
Chorus

Slow down
Breathe it in
Listen deeply to the current of what’s happening
What’s here
and what will be
Secure your faith
though all is unraveling
Step now
Into the pyre
Allow the fires and the waters of grace to take the reins
Segura Fé (x12)
Oh angels…
Oh archangels…
Hear my cry
I call upon you now
x2
Create space
where there is only restriction
Create paths
where there is only obstruction
Create love
where there is only shame
Create clarity
where there is only confusion
Create capacity
where there is only depletion
Create courage
where there is only fear
Segura Fé (x16)
Pray for miracles
pray, pray for miracles x3
(don’t forget to)
pray, pray for miracles (x2)
(don’t forget to)
pray, pray for miracles x2

Your heart is a bottomless cavern
Fill it with song, fill it with song, fill it with love
Your soul is the ocean’s vastness
Fill it with song, fill it with song, fill it with love
Your eyes… mirrors of light
reflect the song, reflect the song, reflect the love
Your feet… portals to us all
Move ‘em with song, move ‘em with song, move ‘em with love
Your life is the greatest blessing
the greatest gift you have to offer
So fill it with song, fill it with song, fill it with love
x2
Fill it with song, fill it with song, fill it with love x3
You are song, you are song, you are love x3

Walking Each Other Home
06:48

Falling from the sky with my roots as my wings
I call upon my ancestors to help me sing
Eh eh eh ey ye eh eh
Though fear may arise
My heart is always wise
Follow my breath until the sunrise
Eh eh eh ey ye eh eh
Through the ups and the downs
I turn to sound
Music is my medicine
forever and now
Eh eh eh ey ye eh eh
x2
Chorus
Brothers and sisters
Let us plant
the healing that we’re seeking in each other’s hands
Brothers and sisters
Stand by me
We’ll walk each other home into eternity
x2
Hey yeh eh eh eh eh eh ~
Awaking the space of love that has no opposite
I become a mirror forever freer
Eh eh eh ey ye eh
Allowing the growth to emerge out of seeing
In each other’s agency for life we are creating
Eh eh eh ey ye eh eh
(Holding a vision of full love in freedom
Taking time to grow these roots and these bridges
Eh eh eh ey ye eh eh) x2
Chorus
Cura Cura Limpia Limpia Mi Familia Yariri..
Cura Cura Sana Sana Mi Familia Yariri..

Departing Song
04:05
|
|||
|
Life before
and life again
Sweetest truth
Circle friend
Though my eyes
Close for the night
Morning brings
Lover’s sight
In my life
and in my dreams
Births a freedom
My heart sings
Hallowed song
Land in my heart
Teach me sweetly
How to depart
Shaky hands
and a shaky will
Something deeper
guides me still
(Through the open
and through the vast
I will walk
Myself at last ) x2
Om Gam Ganapatayei Namaha
