Another Way

Calling You Home

Deep Peace

Not the Only One

Rhyme and Reason

 

 

Another Way
There’re no secretaries and no fancy cars
Because we worship the Earth and we follow the stars
And we remember each other wherever we are
And we remember that freedom is never that far
'Cause there’s another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
Yeah, another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
There’s no separation, from who we really are
‘Cause we trust in ourselves, and we follow our hearts
And we remember our spirits, wherever we are
And we remember that healing, is never that far
‘Cause there’s another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
Yeah, another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
And as the forests continue to fall … and acid rain as it covers us all
That’s when this family will answer their call
To revive the wisdom that lives in us all
There’re no corporate buy-outs and no market crash
Because we sustain ourselves and create our own paths
And we remember this planet wherever we are
And we remember compassion is never that far
‘Cause there’s another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
Yeah, another way, another way, another way that we choose to live
And as the cities continue to fall … and as the violence it touches us all
That’s when this family will answer this call
To revive the wisdom that lives in us all
Oh, oh, oh, hey yeah, hey yeah … hey yeah, hey yeah, yeah
Revive compassion, revive humility … revive us all
Revive intention, revive community
And revive the wisdom that lives in us all

Calling You Home

This is a song I send out to the distant mountains.
This is a song I send to every sea.
My voice will carry in and out of every corner.
This sound will travel through every quaking tree.
This is song where I will set my own intention,
To create the life that I was meant to lead.
And I will stand up and embrace my own true power,
To reveal my heart, and call you here to me …

CHORUS:
‘Cause I know, now, just exactly how I want to be touched and
I know, now, how I want you to look into my eyes and
I know, now, what it means to rest myself in your arms and
I know, now, that I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready … for you.

Through the passing of these times we’ve learned our lessons,
To live in truth and with integrity,
To always search for love and move with clear intention,
And always bathe our souls in beauty.
But now I think it’s time we let go of this solo journey,
It’s time we rest our aching feet.
I think we’ve learned enough to hold ourselves and each other up
And now it’s time that our two paths should meet

[CHORUS]

REFRAIN
And you will hear this the wind …
And you will feel this in the rain …
In the rain …

Now’s the time when I will ask you to remember,
A distant memory of a life with me.
For I am sure that we have walked this path before together,
And I am sure that my heart holds the key.
So let your body listen to the rushing rivers,
And let your soul shine through with clarity.
And feel the message surging through the ground you walk on,
As it rises up, and calls you back to me.

EXTENDED CHORUS:
For you … I’m calling you home to me

Deep Peace

Deep peace from the rolling waves to you, deep peace from the silent stars.
Deep peace from the blowing air to you, deep peace from the quiet earth.
Let peace, let peace, let peace fill your soul.
May peace, may peace, may peace keep you whole.

Not The Only One

This is a hard world for tender people
Walk around feeling everything, what is ours and what is not
Forget to notice that in between the dark and coldness there is sun
Forget to notice that in this innocence we’re not the only ones (2x)

So many people here with faces downward turned and hearts of stone
Cut off from earth and sky and vision, from what is inwardly known
And they’ve forgotten how to trust themselves, and their communities
And they’ve forgotten that the gift they bring will set their spirits free (2x)

CHORUS:
So take a step, take a risk, make the leap, open up, let yourself be seen in this great world
Hold your head up high, lift your arms to the sky, show them all you’re worth
And don’t forget that in this tapestry the fear it too will come 
And don’t forget that in this brilliance you are not the only one (2x)

This is a world full of tender people
Lashing out, digging in, holding on, saving face … surviving as they can
Let’s not forget that in this mirror we can see them as they run
Let’s not forget that in this terror they are not the only ones (2x)

So now it’s clear to me that this place of truth will melt our egos down
And now it’s clear that what seemed distant, has always been around
And let’s not forget that in this web of life there’s more than we can see
And let’s not forget that with our presence we can set each other free (2x)

CHORUS:
So take a step, take a risk, make the leap, open up, let yourself be seen in this great world
Hold your head up high, lift your arms to the sky, show them all you’re worth
And don’t forget that in this tapestry the fear it too will come 
And don’t forget that in this brilliance you are not the only one (4x)

Rhyme and Reason

And so it goes, the tree finds it flower
And then the wind, will bring the spring showers
And so she says, there’s rhyme and there’s reason
To every storm, and to every season, to every season, to every season, to every season …

And here we are, looking for something, we never can find
Asking the questions, and filling our minds
Unlearning the methods, of seek and destroy
And then turn to love and to laughter and joy, 4x …

And there you are, searching for someone to make you complete
Fighting the message, you choose to retreat
Feeling alone and rejecting the wise
Access your memory, look into my eyes, 4x …

And is this the time, for rivers and mountains to teach what they know?
For spirits and fairies, to reap what they sow?
The questions we’re asking, the answers we’ll find
If we take what we’re given, and follow the signs, 4x …

(2x) And so it goes, the tree finds it flower
And then the wind, will bring the spring showers
And so she says, there’s rhyme and there’s reason
To every storm, and to every season, to every season, to every season, to every season …
