The Great Invocation

From the point of light
Within the mind of God
Let light stream forth
Into the minds of humankind
From the point of love
Within the heart of God
Let love stream forth
Into the hearts of humankind
From the centre
Where the will of God is known
Let purpose guide
The will of humankind
The purpose which
The masters know and serve
From the centre
Which we call the human race
Let the plan of love
And light work out
And may it seal the door
Where evil dwells
Let the plan of love and light work out
So be it

Spirit Within
04:45
|

It's funny how when you talk
You can discover new truths
Like when I said that I could be
The whole of me with you
Before I never knew
How much was unexpressed
I told you I wrote a song
The first time that we met
And I never sung it to you
But the words are true yet
Sometimes it gets so lonely
Searching for what's true
But it makes it all worthwhile just
To meet someone like you
Baby you touch my spirit within
I look at the world
And the beauty that I see
The sun so light it lifts my heart
Enticing to be free
But what it gives I know
Is also inside of me
And I want to take that feeling
And be all that I can be
For it is the spirit within
We can look to the world
For all of our needs
Look forever on the outside
To staunch the heart that bleeds
But in the end the only place to go
Is where only you can know
Where true freedom lies
Where all you are is comprised
Go to the spirit within
Know your spirit within

Watching You
04:16
|

I have gone now
To a better place
I have gone now
But still feel you face
I can see your pain
And all your fears
But if I could tell you
I'd say hold back your tears
Chorus:
I am watching you
You don't see me
I am watching you
Feel you near me
And you may not know it
Cos there's no way I can show it
But my love is still there
I'll always love you I swear
You will start again
One fine day
You will start again
And I will say
Don't feel so bad
That you feel so good
I always wanted you
To be all you could
Chorus repeat
| know you'll never forget
And I am waiting for you
But be happy my sweet
If you find someone new
Your joy means more
Than all your tears for me
And your smiling face
Is all I need
Chorus repeat

Outside Time
03:12
|

Outside time
I will look for you now
It's kind of strange
Even though I know
That all is one
So where could you go
It's kind of strange
Even though I see
That the light goes on
Eternally
Chorus:
Outside time
I will look for you now
Outside time
Where the free spirit runs
Outside time
I will find you now
Outside time
Where soul peace comes
It's kind of strange
That though your body's gone
This is the reality
Oh you live on
It's kind of strange
That the division's just time
And that your essence
Is the same as mine
Oh but I miss you
More than I knew
I just keep thinking
Of all that was you
I feel such longing
For special times again
Oh I miss you
My special friend
Chorus repeat
I see the light
I feel the breath
You're here with me
There is no death

Love Pushes Through
05:00
|

Did you forget me in the darkness
Did you forget to call my name
Did you think I wouldn't understand
As you writhe in your self blame
Did you forget me in the darkness
Forget I'm always here
Did you think I wouldn't want you
If I saw you in your fear
Well my love goes beyond
Any trouble because we're strong
Chorus:
And love pushes through • Any barriers
Love pushes through • Any trouble when we're
blue • Love pushes through • Any barriers
Love pushes through • Any trouble when
we're blue • And never, no never forget
That I love you
Were you frightened to tell me
Afraid that I might leave
Did you think I wouldn't understand
If you allowed yourself to grieve I
Were you frightened of yourself
Scared of who you are
Did you think I wouldn't see beyond
Your sorrows and your scars
Well my love goes beyond
Any trouble because we’re strong
Chorus repeat
Just believe in me my baby
We can pass through any fire
And there's nothing going to stop us
From getting there, baby
Getting higher
I believe in you my baby
There is nothing you can't do
But if ever you don't find the way
And falter baby
Know my strength is here for you
Cos my love goes beyond
Any trouble because we're strong
Chorus repeat

Others Found You
04:14
|
|||
You stand alone
As you always stood
What they all wanted
Being who you should
The world took control
Before you could
Making all the rules
For a child misunderstood
Chorus:
But remember
Others found you, long ago
In the valley, deep below
And they took you, up on high
To show how near was the blue sky
To show how clear was the blue sky
But the world goes on
And you forgot
The power you were given
To reclaim your destined lot
And the pain gnaws away
At the visions that you have
‘Til nothing seems left
But a spirit worn and sad
Chorus:
But remember
Others found you, long ago
And showed you light,
that you might know
And they took you, up on high
To show how near was the blue sky
To show how clear was the blue sky
Far away seems the day
When they came though
Lost in innocent memory
Far away seems the way
That they showed
Lost in worldly propriety
Though life seems hard
It would be well not to forget
The ways of the wise
And the wisdom they protect
And though the truth is ever veiled
For true eyes to see
It lies within us all
A gift from them to you and me
Chorus:
Those who found you long ago
And showed you light, that you might know
Those who took you, up on high
Those who made you the blue sky
Those who gave you the blue sky Blue sky

Can you awake what's sleeping deep inside you?
Or will you be keeping it tucked up safe?
I can tell you that it’s better out than in
I can tell you now's the time to begin
Some never look in their soul's mirror
Afraid of what it holds
Of what they might see
Life's a bottle full of water and sand
Some say you shouldn't shake it up
Just let it stand
Chorus:
But I say look
Look at what you see
Don't sell yourself
So you can be free
Look at all the things you like
All the things you don't
Look and know
That you can grow
Oh look and see
Can you reach out
Reach out and touch the truth?
Don't lose your way again
You know the fear well it never goes away
If you want to grow you just
break through it everyday
Look deep inside yourself and be strong
So many things beyond the hurt you see
Times will change, it won't always be this way
Moving on, moving up, this time to stay
Chorus repeat
Can you awake what's sleeping deep inside you?
Or will you be keeping it tucked up safe?

Child Woman
03:08
|

I am grown up now
It didn't take so long
To leave the idyll of childhood
And join the adult throng
I am grown up now
Perhaps beyond my years
But not beyond the yearning
For peace from all my fears
Chorus:
Sometimes I feel
I am breathing in the womb
Sometimes I feel
Life is happening too soon
Sometimes I feel
I can never grow enough the truth to see
Oh there's a child woman inside of me
I am grown up now
I'm not sure what that means
Try to claim my independence
And consummate my dreams
I am grown up now
Guess I should stand alone
But while the world rushes by
I still seek for home
Chorus repeat
I am grown up now
Enough to hold you in my arms
Still I feel like a child
As I cling to the calm
I am grown up now
Got all my love to give
Guess when I love myself
Then I'll really start to live
Chorus repeat

More To Life
02:52
|
|||
It's been a long time now
Since I felt what I feel inside
But when I look at you now
You know what you want
And I like your pride
The way the world goes
Only God knows
What'll happen next to us
Chorus:
Well we can do the things we want
We can do the things we like
But if we're talking all the time
Well I just don't think that it's right
I think that there's more to live than just that
I think that there's more to us than just that
I've been looking hard now
For someone, someone who's like me
Babe, are you the one now?
Are you the one, the one who's going to set me free?
I'd like to feel
That you could make me real
But it's not like that - is it?
Chorus repeat

Angel

Angel, Angel
Angel in the sky I want to ask you why
Angel in the sky I need to ask you why
Why there's a place in my heart that I cannot fill
And though the times they change
It seems this never will
Why I see the light but not the way
Why I stumble and fall and can only pray
Angel, Angel
Angel i in the sky oh take me up on high
Angel in the sky you know I want to fly
Angel of all hopes and living dreams
You tell me life's not always what it seems
That for every shadow there is a light
And if we join our hearts we'll break through the night
Angel, Angel
Angel in the sky please help me now to try
Angel in the sky you know that I can fly
