Here we are together after all After all the separation and the illusion of control A common conversation we're having now About our survival and what's important to the soul We were born for these times The heart surrenders and opens wide pulsing with the beats of change and bravely feeling all of the pain The choice is our to make now which way we go A thousand directions but one devotion to this love What changes are we willing to make inside Inside our collective crazy mind We were born for these times the heart surrenders and opens wide pulsing with the beats of change and bravely feeling and bravely feeling

Listen to the Wind Big winds are blowing in the new season Change is coming, change is here Breathing in the truth, releasing the fear Because it's time for Love Yes it's time for Equality and it's time for Freedom and it's time for Harmony Fire, fire in the heart Burn everything everywhere that keeps us apart River, river in my veins Wash me internal with your grace Teach me how to let go I live and I die and I ebb and I flow Yes it's time for Love Yes it's time for Equality and it's time for Freedom and it's time for Harmony Mother Earth, a child I am in your arms Hold me as I pray Pray for humanity to walk in a new way It is time for Love It is time for Equality and it's time for Freedom and it's time for Harmony

From the first breath of this life until our dying day we're searching for signs to guide the way from the first breath of this life until our dying day opening to love to lead the way Oh my darling, my love Oh my darling, my love All of your dreams they are coming true just not in the way you think they should, well all of your dreams they are coming true just not in the way you thought they would Oh my darling, my love Oh my darling, my love The wisdom seems to be in the letting go of all of the things that we think we know, well the wisdom seems to be in the letting go of all of the ways we try to control Oh my darling, my love Oh my darling, my love Oooh oooh oooh oooooh Through my doubt I become clear I'm choosing trust over fear Oh my darling, my love Oh my darling, my love Oh my darling, my love

Face the Sun 04:15
Will you rise up to face the sun Yes your dark night is over The day is here my friend The time has come today Nothing can hold back the dawn Oh, nothing can hold back the dawn Well the energy it flows where your attention goes What is it that you are tending And the mind is in it's place it is a fertile space What is it that you are planting So will you rise up to face the sun Yes your dark night is over the day is here my friend The time has come you see Nothing can hold back the dawn oh, nothing can hold back the dawn Will you rise up to face the sun Your dark night is over Yes the day is here, the time has come Oh nothing can hold back the dawn Oh, nothing can hold back the dawn nothing can hold back the dawn

Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away? Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away? Did you see the news today? All the children are detained At the border line they crossed The illusion and the cost There's a horror happening here Right at home oh so near What will we do to help our neighbors and ourselves Did you see what's been done? Everyone has a gun Protecting all their fears With rage and deadly steel How long will we last with such weapons in our grasp? A trigger happy people with a sorrowful past Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away? Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away? But there are teachers teaching And students are listening to the call of these times to take action and to rise There's a movement among us The coalition includes us all Everyone has a part here Every body and it's soul Can we imagine a future where we fully embrace the lightest and the darkest, the entire human race The opportunity is ours nows and time is running out All the animals are watching Will we turn this ship around? Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away? Grief and Praise, Grief and Praise Will you stand up? Will you give it all away?

La De Dum 03:39
This is a song for freedom This is a rhythm for peace One note after the other Coming into harmony And if you follow your heart you will see There's no place to run to, only here to be La de dum, la da de da de dum Le da de da de da dum, la de dum The is the life we're breathing Breathing into peace One choice after the other Coming in, coming into harmony And if you listen to your heart you will hear There's no place to run to, only here to be La de dum, la da de da de dum Le da de da de da dum, la de dum

Remember 01:33
Remember, remember, remember In these times An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind So breathe in the fear And breathe out the love Breathe in the sorrow And breathe out the joy Breathe in the anger And breathe out the peace Oh, breathing the one heart that beats Oh, breathing the one heart that beats
