Lyrics
This Simplicity
I held my heart up in my hands
saw and released all my demands
watched them scatter like fallen leaves
and I’m free now, free to be,
be who I am
Chorus:
and I am grateful, more grateful than I ever thought I could be
I’m grateful to be here with you and grateful to be me
All aglow in the wonder of this simplicity
how life gives me everything I need
how life gives me everything I need
I place my life in God’s hands
knowing Spirit understands
what this soul is longing for and what this body needs
and what I don’t need anymore, I drop it back at Heaven’s door
release into the flow and let it carry me
(chorus)
I place my life in God’s hands
knowing Spirit understands
what this soul is longing for and what this body needs
no need to hold tight in this circle of light
when the heart of all abundance lives inside of me
(chorus)
acorn
if an acorn becomes a tree, what will I be?
if a river becomes the sea, where am I going?
as my life unfurls in the shape that it’s meant to be
I surrender to a deeper knowing
I choose peace
I choose love
from my choices extend mysteries that I know not of
I step outside of my comfort zone
I look within, and find myself home
who teaches the teacher?
who teaches the teacher?
who opens the eyes
to whom do I go when I’m hoping to show
how to walk in a way that is wise?
who mothers the mother
when the days are so long?
who strengthens my pace when I’m holding the space
for generations to come?
come
back to your source
there’s just one force
in all we are looking for
here
deep in the heart
miracles start
just open the door
who heals the healer,
who fills the well?
my soul knows the answers
when I listen she tells
I can search the whole world from mountain to sea
but she brings me back home again to me
Spirit Walking Shoes
I have rested in the silence where all good things arise
and my heart she fills with gladness when I open my eyes
on this wonderful world, and I know which way to choose
as I walk on my way in my spirit walking shoes
and my heart arises free
and I offer the best part of me
and I’ll go where my spirit leads
sure as the acorn grows to be a big oak tree.
Everything I Long For
I am made of stardust
but my toes grow deep into the earth
my branches stretch through aeons
but this moment is my birth
Awakening now
I realize
that I’ve always been looking through
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
I’m looking at you
and I realize
that I’ve always been looking into
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
thank you for being the song that I sing
thank you for being my friend
thank you for being the child in my arms
for the sun and the rain and the winds
you are beloved
more than you can guess
all the days of your life
abundantly blessed
singing I am the river and I am the sea
everything I long for is a part of me
I am the river and I am the sea
everything I long for is a part of me
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
I am made of stardust
but my toes grow deep into the earth
my branches stretch through aeons
but this moment is my birth
Awakening now I realize
that I’ve always been looking through
God’s eyes
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM
I AM that I AM that I AM
beCause
I am one with the One
I have all that I need
but this question I have has been bothering me
why does it appear there are some in need
I can have what I want, but some struggle to be free
why are some truths suppressed but lies brought to light
and why do some children go hungry tonight?
if everything is perfect, and everything is light,
I need a better answer than they’re wrong and I’m right.
it’s time for me to be the change that I wish to see
it’s time for me to love and let love guide me
and when strength is not enough
and solutions seem weak
I look inside to find the transformation I seek
Chorus:
be Cause -- when you find yourself asking Why
be Cause -- be the change of heart inside
be Cause -- be Love, be Free, be Hope, be Peace, be Cause
the children of tomorrow eat the food we plant today
don’t hide your good inside yourself, let it spill out, give it away
and leave the rest behind
the past is only in your mind
leave the rest behind
the past is only in your mind
(chorus)
well it’s time for me to be who I came here to be
it’s time for me to give from my heart freely
heaven comes to earth by way of you and me
when we come together intentionally
(chorus)
Overflowing
Feeling my feet on the ground
walking on the road of my mothers
listening for the voice of the earth
knowing that the world is my sister and brother
Looking at the signpost on the road
asking me to choose which way I journey
wondering what I’ve got to give this world
knowing that the times they are a turning
rising up at dawn
thinking bout my day, what lies before me
lifting up my face
opening to grace to go before me
praying now, and opening my mind,
asking for the love to grow me and show me
filling me with gifts to give this world
now my cup is overflowing
I look into the eyes of a child
what kind of world will you inherit?
I dedicate my life
to nurturing the good so I can share it
praying now, and opening my mind,
asking for the love to grow me and show me
filling me with gifts to give this world
now my cup is overflowing
Born to Live in These Times
I was born to live in these times
to love straight in the face of fear
watch it fade and disappear
to walk upon these coals
and feel fire singing through my soul
these are the times of miracles
the days that blow my mind
the days I stop protecting and let loose with lovingkindness
I was born to move between the worlds
to bring to you these precious pearls
from the oceans beyond time and space
I was born to live in this holy place
born to live right now
right now.
I know that change isn’t always easy
when numbing comfort keeps you locked inside
when was the last time that you opened up your door
just felt the thrill of being alive
breathe in the presence of the living God
let it fill you up with passion
this goes way beyond just strength to face the day
and it joins us from within
the truth’s a heartbeat away:
we were born to live in these times
to love straight in the face of fear
watch it fade and disappear
to walk upon these coals
and feel fire singing through our souls
these are times of miracles
the days that blow our minds
the days we stop protecting
and let loose with lovingkindness
we were born to live between the worlds
to bring to earth these precious pearls
from oceans beyond time and space
we were born to live in this holy place
right now.
Relax and Let Go
relax and let go,
you are more powerful than you know
surrender to Love’s flow,
it’ll take you where you need to go.
