Child's Prayer
05:32
|

|
Trees won’t die young
When man knows his place
Fire won’t burn this wood
Now young Joan knows your name
CHORUS:
Who would say to me
I’ll master this you’ll see
For all its glory
Her head is high
And muscle bound
She stands before the throne
Praying on righteous earth be called
For fear to lose its hold
An end to the violent sufferings
The start of harmonious living
On this earth
CHORUS
Imagine yourself in a world of which
All is sacred, all is safe
Where children play on fearless earth
The song of life be praised
CHORUS

It's Just Me
03:33
|

|
It’s Just Me
Paranoid, wonder how it
All got so damn deluded
Me, holding onto my sanity
My innocence has crumbled
Can’t understand why you’d hurt me
In my honesty
Oh, is it just me
Oh, it’s killin’ me
That transparent façade you
Share with the world does not fool me
It’s your fantasy
Divided loyalties
They’re all so different from me
I wonder where the humankind has gone
Oh, is it just me
Oh, it’s killin’ me
Insults wash over my head
Or so I try to believe
Hold onto my
Integrity
Oh Me
Questioning my good instincts
Remembering they will protect me
From what lies before us
Oh, is it just me
Oh, it’s just me
Oh Me

Soul Friend
03:26
|

|
You found a place in my heart
Where it feels like the warm rain
Has softened me up
You found a place in my heart
Where is feels like the cool breeze
Is fresh enough
CHORUS:
Music of my heart singing
Music of my love beating
Music of my heart singing
Music of my love beating
Soul friend
You found a place in my heart
Where I see that a friend like you
Is a precious find
You found a place in my heart
Where I hear that your words are
So true and so kind
CHORUS
Giving heart when it’s fleeting
Giving strength when it’s weakening
Bringing joy to the hard times
Gentle yet wild
CHORUS
You have a place in my heart
That I want to last
For a lifetime or more
You have a place in my heart
Where only we can dwell

My Heart 私の心
03:23
|
|||
|
Move my foot towards the mark
I will not turn but walk that path
Towards the place where the sun starts
Even if the road is bloody red
My heart should hurt because of this love
Do I have to resist large gifts
Them who try to break this woman
Turn her soul upside down
My Heart
No I will keep straight
And walk in spite of fear
In hope that sun and moon
Heaven and earth might join
My Heart
My Heart

Sail With Me
04:26
|
|||
|
Sailed my ship on lonely waters
Brooding seas and messy quarters
If I could fear less
If I could care less
Maybe the strange land would slip away
Unnoticed
I've been wrong before
Broken hull on rocks that look benign
Took so long to fix
Toxic fumes bleeding in my head
I can’t risk another storm
Won't you take me in your hold
Gently guide us to the island we talked of
CHORUS:
Lost my way
Show me the dream again
Call me back
I'll sing a lullaby
And the waves will gently lap
As we sleep in a sweet embrace
I have dreamed for many years
Like the owl and the pussycat we'd sail away
Under the velvet moon
I would know that you love me only
There for me
Care for me
Just like I would do for you my love
CHORUS
I will always love you
I will always love you

Movin' On
03:23
|
|||
|
I don't know why this simple song
Can do me so right do me so wrong
Guess the space between our minds
Couldn't find a place to safely thrive
I've been trying so hard to make the grade
Now I'm gone
You know I can't be bothered with
The poisons of unfaithfulness
Wanna’ thank you from my heart
Faith in love was a good start
I've been trying so hard to make the grade
Now I'm gone
Oh your good hand loving
Eyes roving let going
Feathers that winds won't be flying
Cheeky girls their smiles a-waiting
Yeah yeah yeah
Gone, Movin’ On

Keep No Shame
05:13
|
|||
|
Wring you out again
Push you out of my mind
Ride that same old sorrow train
‘Til it gets me where I’m bound
You thought that you could have me
Be your living doll
Sometimes I thought you’d break me
Too fragile to behold
We did plenty to try and change
We could never win
And I’ll never lose
CHORUS:
And I’m glad it’s not me anymore
Won’t let you hit me ‘til I crawl
Keep myself safe from harm’s way
Take back your blame
I’ll keep no shame
Hooked me in again
With such charming loving lines
But it ain’t strong enough for real this time
To keep that fantasy alive
I’d thought my love should make you
The man you could’ve been
You thought that I could maybe
Be the perfect golden queen
Too much to live up to
We could never win
And I’ll never lose
CHORUS
Knock the trophies off the wall
Burn the beauty that you scorn
Brag about the ones that want you
Play a cruel and crippled game
Holding off until I scream
Keep the dirty pictures hidden
CHORUS
I’m doing better
Thank God I’m doing better
I’m doing better

Roses From The Soul
04:38
|
|||
|
CHORUS:
Help me stand in the sunshine
Help me weather the raging storms
Help me dance in the glistening rain
When the shadows get too tall
Give me courage when I'm small
Lend me your steady arms when I fall
Stand beside me even when I'm wrong
And I'll give you
Roses From The Soul
I've been wand’ring many long times
Feels like I've seen so much
Like lifetimes on lifetimes on lifetimes
Dry from the struggle
Weary of the smiling knife poised at my back
And I'm gonna’ break out
Haven't stayed down yet and still coming for the best
Help me stand in the sunshine
Help me weather the raging storms
Help me dance in the glistening rain
The sounds you make, the gifts you have
The road you take, the love you find
Listen to the voice in you
The one that’s true
You will find yourself uplifting
CHORUS
Roses
Roses From The Soul

Love You Too
04:31
|
|||
|
Came like a bolt right out of the blue
I’d always wished I’d have someone like you
Nothing to lose, by being myself
CHORUS:
Just like an arrow straight to my heart
Cupid is merrily making his mark
God only knows how this will turn out
If you love me, and I love you too
If you want me, and I want you too
I can get scared, but I won’t stop the tide
From crashing right into me, and maybe subside
I could take some advice from a well meaning friend
But at the end of it all, on God I depend
CHORUS
Nothing in hiding, or kept in reserve
Nothing waiting to upend our worlds
I am grateful for all that I have
And I got a feeling I know what is true
CHORUS
If you love me, and I love you too
If you want me, and I want you too

Trouble
04:42
|
|||
|
Here I go its coming again
Got me started dreaming
'Bout how I wish I could fill these desires
Honey we all know it’s the road to demise
Help me God get a grip
On that same old Trouble
And I'm learning as best as I can
Love myself just as I am
Every time my thoughts carry away
I remember and Lord do I pray
Help me God get a grip
On that same old Trouble
Lay my burdens at your feet
Ask for deliverance from my grief
Please take all my ills away
Shelter me and fill me with your sweet grace
Help me God get a grip
On that same old Trouble
Get away Trouble
No more Trouble

I Am Enough
05:26
|
|||
|
I Am Enough
Just like you are
Alright
We have a place
In the mighty human race
Equally
I’ll love who I love
And I won’t if I don’t
Truthfully
I’ll think for myself
And I’ll wear what I want
However it fits
CHORUS:
We are Stardust
We are Angels
We are of the Ancient Distant Stars
We are of the Free Birds
On the Whispering Winds of Peace
We Are One
I’ll roam where I want
Without fear of your wrath
Or your shots
I’ll choose what’s best
‘Cos I am Sovereign
I am Gypsy Spirit
CHORUS
