The Magic 04:10
Cry of the mother Let the lover in Hang up the flag Turn back To the womb Surrender To the ancient cry It howls in soul The magic takes you Let it break you open The magic takes you It breathes you in Speak to my stillness Like cedar and pine Heal my wounds Cradled by time As we rush the colors of the sun With all our grace We call out...ohhh... The magic takes you Let it break you open The magic takes you It breathes you in

Let Go 04:26
It was a game Incomplete Thrown to the wolves out in the dark night To make a way With bare feet And half of a truth to guide you Lie awake every time you turn a page Close those eyes I'm gonna sing you a new lullaby Let go When your halo falls Gotta let go Of the stories and all Let go You were a dream in the mind Gotta let go A slave of your design Let go... Take a breath, in between Into the silence a calling From deep within, a memory Dim little light is shining Lie awake All the voices scream my name Close your eyes I'm gonna sing you a new lullaby Let go When your halo falls Gotta let go Of the stories and all Let go You were a dream in the mind Gotta let go A slave of your design Let go...

Ghosts 05:47
Shadow sun is flickering Moving in and out of time Uncovering the ghosts I can almost touch them with my eyes These roots run deeper than we know The melodies that gave them life Got lost somewhere beneath the snow Like a long releasing sigh Oh sing to me once more Wrap me in your purple skies Oh, like a quiet thunderstorm Wakes you softly in the night Like a distant lullaby Eclipse of moon, the fever flared Pulling in and out the tides Washed away my innocence But the white flame burned right through the night These wounds cut deeper than we know Painting lines upon my face Got lost somewhere beneath the snow Reaching out to touch the space Oh sing to me once more Wrap me in your purple skies Oh, like a quiet thunderstorm Wakes you softly in the night A distant lullaby

Into the light I'm stepping over flames, burn through me Smoke in my eyes I try to hold my breath, it's too late I'm running, blown open Believe in this moment I'm holding my lifeline Into another daydream I rise All of these years Are passing like a train Track running to nowhere Fall on my knees I'm begging for the right To believe in an answer I'm running, blown open Believe in this moment I'm holding my lifeline Into another daydream I rise I rise... Holding on and moving fast So fast I'm running, blown open Believe in this moment I'm holding my lifeline Into another daydream I climb, I crawl I soar, I fall I shine like stars, then broken down I love, I learn My tears they burn Then light emerges I finally feel alive Finally feel alive

Under the Golden Sun I make my stage The fountains, they pour this life back into me Bathed in the shadows, shiver on skin Watch this magic dance begin Now I'm a stranger in open arms I'm a beggar, just waiting for your love to come and find me I send my voice out to sea 'Til I hear it come back round again...singing Ooh, ooh, ooh Let your story be told Ooh, ooh, ooh Let it sing from your soul Under the Golden Sun I've made my way Watched as my dreams, they got the best of me My path was tied like knots in a rope They taught me how to let go Now I'm a stranger in open arms I'm a beggar, just waiting for your love to come and find me I send my voice out to sea 'Til I hear it come back round again...singing Ooh, ooh, ooh Let your story be told Ooh, ooh, ooh Let it sing from your soul It's all inside me, It's all inside me Let it sing out I send my voice out to sea, out to sea Let it ring out softly I'm a stranger in open arms I'm a beggar, just waiting for your love to come and find me I send my voice out to sea 'Til I hear it come back round again...singing Ooh, ooh, ooh Let your story be told Ooh, ooh, ooh Let it sing from your soul

Begin Again 04:46
It's time to move on It's time to let go Be the one who always knows Just follow the hum The beating heart Be the seed of all you are Take this life Like an open ocean In your hands Let it all begin again Feel as the breath It rattles your lungs Singing out the only song The one that you know That brought you here Through the dream it all comes clear Take this life Like an open ocean In your hands Let it all begin again And when the darkness tries to hold you near And shadows knocking at your door The winded sorrow's distant memory Oh I will bathe in the silence of your soul Take this life in your hands Oh, the voices are calling Like an open ocean, "begin again!" And all this time I was searching Searching for something to believe in Well I can see now, I can believe that I am this song playing out And when the needle starts falling Dance out loud, just sing it out Be the living! And take this life in your hands, in your hands Like an open ocean Begin again
7.
Re-Entry 04:43
It was certain The timeless lines of the soul Reconnected Uncovering a path of old Embers from the ancient fires Still burning, burning bright Guide us back to one It's the journey Our Re-Entry The doors open Our souls pour through like beams of light We awaken An infinite convergence in our eyes Let us not mistake the call of the highest The highest love Truth is echoing the core It's the journey Our Re-Entry The storm has built a lifetime around us Now, again, the rains (reigns) can fall Embers from the ancient fires Still burning, burning bright Guide us back to one It's the journey Our Re-Entry Let us not mistake the call of the highest The highest love Truth is echoing the core It's the journey Our Re-Entry

Cover me like a mother When the wind blows, makes you shudder Hold your head under water Feel the silence take you under, take you in Then the sirens scream through the air Calling you back to the fight Light a shock wave, straight through your heart Wanting you back to life Let me fall into nothing Like a picture out of focus Cut the line at the river Your are floating like a vision, back in Then the sirens scream through the air Calling you back to the fight Light a shock wave, straight through your heart Wanting you back And then the tears flow like signals in smoke Calling you back to the light Feel the whispers tangle your soul Wanting you back Letting go of time Walking past the signs The shedding of the mind Oh don't you bring me back to life, to life Then the sirens scream through the air Calling you back to the fight Light a shock wave, straight through your heart Wanting you back And then the tears flow like signals in smoke Calling you back to the light Feel the whispers tangle your soul Wanting you back Well don't you bring me back Don't you bring me back Please don't bring me back Don't bring me back Cover me like a mother Feel the silence take you under, take you in
9.
It all begins now Where you always knew Deep in the heart, a place so true A lifting bird with golden wings Born of a love that always sings in you In you In you In you
