Joy and tenderness I carry you on my left and on my right I need your help, your loving guidance walk with me into the darkest night Itā€™s in the stream beyond the distance and in the pages that I write I see eyes gazing up to greet me, beaming as water rushes by (Iā€™ll be your light) She whispers in the dark (not you but us) inside my heart (Iā€™ll be your light) I feel it come through Youā€™re telling me to find joy Oh tell me where to find my joy Here I am I want to show you

The Star 02:16
Thereā€™s a message thatā€™s hidden in the shadows just like the star see the beautiful light that you are even when it feels covered and lost I would gather up moon rocks in the yard when I was just a child and Iā€™d wonder what else lays beyond what I would form into when my bodyā€™s gone Some nights I feel distant so I run to the fields at night sending dreams out with hopes that you might hear my voice and answer my cry Point the way and guide me from a distance in some strange unknown with you here I feel less alone I am at peace when I breathe in your love Now I feel your grace when I look to the sky and for all of time weā€™ve pondered with your beam in our eyes (show me the way to go) Did it light your way? Did it open your mind? Can you see what it is and how weā€™re all apart of it? (show me the way to go) So donā€™t put yourself down just look inside you are the divine body of stars being of light (show me the way to go)

I used to dwell on how things were put myself down for all the hurt now here we are after how much weā€™ve changed no longer grasping for those days Am I blind to your lonely heart? Living distant in a world so far I wish that you could follow me there but thereā€™s only so much space that we can share I found my way in a settling calm I nurture what I abandoned for so long a love so natural, a heart so true that I used to dedicate all to you and now I feel like I canā€™t reach you when you are right here oh what has gone wrong now I fear our paths arenā€™t mutual to be all we can do we move on? Between the window and the moon the tower rising within the woods through a clearing in the trees how stable are the stones I see? Is it a vision, or a howling call the illusions cease as the curtains draw two gleaming eyes like stars above waiting out for the storm to come.. Youā€™ll know where to find me youā€™ll know where to find me here by myself donā€™t make it sound like thatā€™s so bad

Oh can you hear the words that you speak only about yourself value the strength that you have itā€™s within you and waits to come alive well maybe if I try If you feel like you canā€™t see the light in your eyes just know that I can now is the time to be here and youā€™re not do you feel like you canā€™t? Do you see what I am? While youā€™re searching for some place outside don't you see where I am? In the heart where truth lives.. Oh dreams feel lost when theyā€™re waiting in time what fades will grow and if you could only see what is obvious to me you would never doubt yourself please tell me that youā€™ll try I promise I will try If you feel like you canā€™t see the light in your eyes just know that I can now is the time to be here and youā€™re not do you feel like you canā€™t?
5.
Falling further into the dark youā€™re never alone I feel you in my hands Just take a moment, bow to your discomfort donā€™t move until you can try another way I see the message over and over what could it mean? what do you want me to see.. There is magic in your blood hear our breath as we are one Feel the magic in your blood do you know how strong we are? Iā€™m by the water walking towards a cave reflecting moonlight guiding my way blue stones glisten my breath the only sound Somethingā€™s awoken my heart I sing out loud I wanna know what pleasures keep someone waiting to move on Out from the dark she speaks and moves like something from beyond I canā€™t stay still caught in her gaze your spirit sheā€™ll return The moment that you wake youā€™ll feel all that she touched will have changed (So show me how it is you love!) She guides me still (Patience still, be carried in my arms) warm and graceful lighting up my heart (Youā€™ve kept your heart closed long enough!) Release my fears (Iā€™ll lead you to places you were meant to find) walk with me in formlessness to form (A silver veil flowing high and strong!) Our light as one (What waits for you thereā€™s already in your heart) Soaring higher now I can move on..

The Eclipse 05:06
A planet appears as the sun starts to fall darkness consumes with no moon to glow what do you see in the shadows of your mind? Iā€™m reading out loud as we hold on to this night We look for the constellations we know aligning the patterns our eyes can hold while waves come ramping to meet upon shore a calling we greet in tradition once more Now lifeā€™s just memories In a flash before our eyes, it has us all in time and what if it was just a dream? We pretend that weā€™re not far, but you canā€™t ever know how much time we have Can we just stay here? with tears in my eyes and your voice inside Iā€™ll be there in your heart, heart Iā€™ll be there in your heart, heart Iā€™ll be there in your heart, heart Iā€™ll be there in your heart, heart Iā€™ll be there in your heart, heart Oh will you talk to me when Iā€™m gone? will you still talk to me when Iā€™m gone You know Iā€™ll always be in your heart Iā€™m always gonna be in your heart How can we have gone through this before and there not be a memory of it I have a feeling deep within and I know that I chose this path to live I need to learn from my mistakes do the work that I couldnā€™t do before (but now..) Under the darkness is infinite love hold on the tide is coming in again

Blue is the color of life the essence of all I am here before my eyes And what is that sound I heard? a storm of your despair and joy it pulls me awake Was it your mind? No Was it your soul? Oh, sing for your love I have dreams in our old house And a part of me knows The voice I heard that night was my own And if we can forgo doubt just take my hand into the night and see your body enveloped in light But am I ready? Is this what you wanted for us? I know Iā€™m ready To leave it behind and go forward? Itā€™s all or nothing Is this what you wanted for us? I know Iā€™m ready To leave it behind and go forward? Itā€™s all or nothing Is this what you wanted for us? I know Iā€™m ready

Sacred 03:37
Iā€™ve learned to see the beauty in your gift for all the times we tear it down, you rebuild you look so fragile, spinning in the wind where can I find that sort of strength? within I canā€™t stop my mind from thinking while our bodies are close and weā€™re dancing our souls are lifted high above why should I trust you with all of my love? Itā€™s like raising a bridge up the negativityā€™s forceful but somethingā€™s here, have you noticed? oh, existence is pure love so if my love is your love.. What if my love is your love Is the truth then discovered? No, not in words you can speak of but in her radiant darkness Lost in my dreams Iā€™m half asleep what can fully bloom when youā€™re picking at them too soon The moment is beautiful and light can you stay awake trust the presence of divine time Cause Iā€™ll give it all that I have but I donā€™t wanna go if youā€™re telling me to slow down stay on the path thereā€™s work to do there is something more what you truly want is yours now What you want will be yours now

Resonate 03:49
Light breaks while you gently sleep gone, wishing for time stalling when seasons are fast turning Now see the threshold you seek face toward the tide pulling you into deeper dreaming still (Come take my hand youā€™ll understand what youā€™ve been looking for the truth, the beauty youā€™ve sown flowers before you) Take our desires eternal fire a stillness is calling you within (lay amongst the life the open sky and let it hold you now a single star begins to shine the clouds are parting) The wonders of love breathing as one drifting away You spoke to our hearts a spark casting off as night turns to day (can you feel it change the air is warm a joyful vision waits outside the cave where you have stayed I want to show you) I know youā€™ll be here youā€™ve always been for all my life rising from within Iā€™m longing to follow deeper still.. (a mockingbird calls draws me from bed and to my window calls into the night oh who will hear, who will answer?) Iā€™ll follow deeper still.. (I will sing into the night into the darkness calling out love I feel a light I hear it echo out) Iā€™ll follow deeper still..
