Born for These Times
03:56

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

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

My Darling, My Love
03:43
|

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

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 & Praise

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
