HEARTH
Oh Ancient Fire
How many sat around your glow
have you called home?
how many fights and songs and rites
have you called into the night?
I delve into your stories and cellars
your antiques and treasures
collecting feathers from the dust
It is here I can see beyond words
the language I can trust
And you learn to live alive when you live to learn from life
You live to learn life when you learn to live alive….
Here by the Hearth, here
Echoes of bygone days have always there place
Finding strength in the challenges accepting what it takes
And its not the destination but in the journey we make
We are at home every moment
every moment we can see
this is paradise
this is paradise
Heaven on earth before your eyes
here for you
And you learn to live alive when you live to learn from life
You live to learn life when you learn to live alive….
Here by the Hearth, here

Dare to Be

Dare to Be
There must be a reason
For the pain in this love
But the cause is covered by the years
Of what we have seen
I search for sense
I search to understand
Shape the meaning
Put words to feelings
Of what needs to be expressed
And it hurts me so
To see you struggle on and on
Too scared to change
And afraid of staying the same
Being everyones friend
And doing more than you know you can
But still feeling alone
Shut out in the cold
Dare to be Happy
Give yourself a chance
To make it better for you
You’ve nothing to prove to anyone here
And I can’t tell you what you already know
I only wish you’d believe it so
You talk of getting older
And of things you haven’t done
Yet the more you say it
The less you do
And time passes on
Getting caught up in the suffering of yesterday
Never noticing the springs that come your way
And you are beautiful
And you deserve so much
You don’t have to try to be anyone else but yourself
You are the flower the sun awakes
So reach high into the day
Reach for what you see
Dare to be Happy
Give yourself a chance
To make it better for you
You’ve nothing to prove to anyone here
And I can’t tell you what you already know
I only wish you’d believe it so
Believe it.
You are the flower the sun awakes
The sun awakes

Wish I Do

Wish I do
Wish I do
To feel fresh rain
And a caring world
To shelter us again
Wish I do
Wish I do
For the desert sun
To be with my love
When the child embraces night
Wish I do
For the seas tween me and you
To be calm like a silky bed
To rest my head
Wish I do
To swirl my skirts
In emerald dew
In dance of joy
For love of you
And all the stars
Shine so bright so far
Wish I do
And people everywhere to be
walking towards all peace
walking through meadows sweet
Lovers to greet with love
with songs of hope in their kisses
Songs of hope in their kisses
Wish I do
Wish I do

Take Your Love
Our hearts meet in the wisdom, meet in the magic
Of all that is Love
Our hearts meet in the wisdom, meet in the magic
Of all that is Love
You know you have a wish to be so breathe your dream and see
Your life is made of what you believe
So Take Your Love to the mountain
Take your love to the depths of the ocean
Take your love and learn to find
The secrets of all time
From forest floors to open skies
You wont get to where your going if you fear what might happen
You wont get to where your going if you fear what might happen
You wont get to where your going if you fear what might happen
You wont get to where your going if you fear what might happen
No need to fear that you're here, dont fear that you're here
That you're here
So Take Your Love to the mountain
Take your love to the depths of the ocean
Take your love and learn to find
The secrets of all time
From forest floors to open skies
From history of oak tales we hear the songs
Behind tapestry of moon veils, we all belong
With the sound alive from the song of the whale
We are at one
When I see your anger, I see your hurt
And all I ask is why the lack of love?
Why the lack of love
Why the lack of love
There's so much love
So Take Your Love to the mountain
Take your love to the depths of the ocean
Take your love and learn to find
The secrets of all time
From forest floors to open skies
From forest floors to open skies
Forest floors to open skies

Sailing on a Wind

Sailing on a Wind
Drifting along
The stranger’s gone
We see new eyes
You meet a friend
Barren lands
Coloured Sands
A different Life
And we play all the same
Let it be
The child that’s within me
The child that sees inside this paradise
Never will I see this time again
In it’s purity of innocence
Sailing on a Wind
I hear a blues harp singing
And the lake bird flys with the spirit
And I’m taking all this in
To find another day
Good morning future
We don’t swim down upstream
Cast your wings and fly me
To another day
Let it be
The child that’s within me
The child that sees inside this paradise
Never will I see this time again
In it’s purity of innocence
Sailing on a Wind
And this place I’ve never been to before
Is strangely wild
Strangely home dear
Me & the wild together here
Sailing on a Wind
Sailing on a Wind

Moonrising

Moonrising
Waves of golden grasses run high
Waters - breathe through the night
Take that old bridge
To the other side
So you can dance
And maybe fly
Making good of the little that you have
It gets easier you know the less you've got
Open your eyes take a look around
Cross that bridge and don't look down
Moonrising - sweeps through your feet
You know the moon will rise when you take the sky
You know the moon will rise
When you, when you -
you take your flight
There's a young boy sits on his own
Playing the same tune that everybody knows
He's looked ahead, he's looked ahead
Just once or twice
Now he's singing for his own moon rising
Singing
Moonrising - sweeps through your feet
You know the moon will rise when you take the sky
You know the moon will rise
When you, when you -
you take your flight
There's an old man sits on his own
Playing the same for everyone to know
He's seen ahead, he's seen ahead
With clear sight
Now he's singing
on his own moon rising
Moonrising - sweeps through your feet
You know the moon will rise when you take the sky
You know the moon will rise
When you, when you -
you take your flight
Moonrising
Moonrising

You Have No Right
04:03

You Have No Right
First you come with a promise
A silver spoon to feed the masses
But looking at your history
You’re not what you make out to be
The problem you say is starvation
And how can we feed every nation
So you meddle with life and evolution
And justify your profits
But You Have No Right
You have no Right
You have no Right
To make a claim on this life
And the government who are here to defend us
Seem to have too easily surrendered
To your hypocrisy and I wonder
Where money talks, you’ve really got them
And it’s my basic human right
That I have a choice
I can decide
What to take, what to preserve
It’s the least I offer
Tomorrows world
But You Have No Right
You have no Rights
You have no Right
To make a claim on this life
And it’s not much of a legacy
Nothing less than insanity
To jeopardise life for eternity
You’re mistaken to call this progress
So I will walk to the places I know
Where the bird has song
And the wildflower grows
You see I need to feel the hope
That the world sees sense
And not destroy this
You Have No Right
You have no Right
You have no Right
To make a claim on this life

Sea Perfume Green
Eyes move on Oceans floor
Sea perfume green
Shingled wood on a corralled tree
Lift your smile free
Crazy light this sun up high
Waits for your smile
Hollow journeys sound
Your welcome miles are found
Lift your smile free and go
Lift your smile free and go
Lift your smile free
Go
Storms in a winter sky
Never crossed your mind
Who knows where the freedom goes
When you’re only passing time
In Time you may show yourself
And your wild weathered hair
When the freedom comes again
You’ll sweep the oceans layer
And I don’t hold you
So I’m not afraid to let you go
Maybe right or maybe wrong
It’s a moving tide I know
Heaven sent your golden mile
You’re on a wave, the sun your smile
Miles might take you far away
You’re never far from you now
Lift your smile free and go
Lift your smile free and go
Lift your smile free
Go

It's All Experience

It's all Experience
A pocketful of money and all the world to choose
They told me of Bali and I couldn't refuse
I'm feeling lucky lucky lucky
I'm dancing in my shoes
Lucky lucky girl I got nothing to lose
They say you're Lucky lucky lucky Hey!
It's all experience
But take your goods away Madde
Today I'm feeling slow you know
I wanna hit the beach
Settle in peace
I don't want my hair platted
Or a massage on the feet
I said maybe tomorrow you know Hey!
It's all Experience!
Sure is
It's the morning and you're out like flies
You heard me talking about my morning price
I'm feeling lucky lucky lucky with good luck in my bones
The Bartering bug and off I go
I give you rupea a bangle and again I'm stuck
I say my last price you say get..
Experience
So I hide out in a bar and I get myself a coke
The dust and the heat is making me choke
I get a water too
That makes me swell
I got Bali Belly..the familiar smell
When I get back you know the loo gets blocked
And I think it's a joke and it's not
Its all experience!
So I go to Ubud
A tiny quiet village
With an ensuite room I'm feeling rather priviledged
But when I awake
Peace has moved away
There are drums playing all over the place
There are people everywhere and I say
"What's going on round here?
I just wanted some peace & quiet you know..
I'm not feeling too good"
and they tell me
"A lady fell out of a coconut tree
She had skin that shone and was known as Lucky
A festival today you just gotta see
There's music all over and
there's dancing in the streets
So it's great that you're here
Cause it's a Wild experience"
Great! Just what I need...
My last day comes
And I'm heading for the plane
Saying God knows why
But I'll be back again
I got a bag full of bits
I can't remember buying
My skins all pickled
And my insides are dyin'
At the end of the day
It's fun the Bali way
Life can be a bitch
But...
It's all Experience!

Remember

REMEMBER
Prophets and healers keep telling me
Light your candle and go easily
That we have a right to believe
In the best we can be
For the love of us
Remember
And what you forget is never lost
just sleeping for a time
to wake again one day they say
this is that day
Remember
There is a light with the love there and I..
At times I love so much I can cry
Thankful for love and not asking for more
and the innocence of play
seeks love
not games of war
Remember
By the mystics we're told
we are harmony of soul
visionaries remind us that love is living gold
It can be so many things
It can be so small
the more we see love
the less we feel at war
Remember

Simple Age
The dragon that sleeps in your circular seat
Is burning with a hidden flame
And the fire it's breathing
Is a passion without the pain
We could spend a whole lifetime with all of you
All of you - but now is all we have
So see what you see and be who you are
And we'll meet halfway on the path
A Simple age braving love
Simple age
A simple age returning your love once more
No you wont be poor
With myrrh in your soul
Step in step in step in step out
crazy caress caress us again
Gold fires rise through the mist of the sky
The breath of love you hear the sigh
Breathing fire in the will of desire
For you - for you
Some people are making their profits from water
Whilst others are begging for rain
But we have all we need you know to live a be free
We have all we need to grow
There's a bird on the bridge and it's crossing over
Kingfisher blue in the air
Find your tree in the owl moonlight
And the coming of dawn we'll share
Simple age braving love
A simple age
A simple age returning your love once more
No you wont be poor
With myrrh in your soul
Step in step in step in step out
Crazy caress caress us again
Gold fires rise through the mist of the sky
The breath of love you hear the sigh
Breathing fire in the will of desire
For you - for you
For you
