LYRICS:
feel the beat, of your heart
rhythm of your soul
feel the pulse, pulse of life
rhythm of your soul
sola sanctum, sola sanctum
terra sanctum, sola sanctum
I’m gonna bust down all the walls around me
I’m gonna bust down all of the walls
I’m gonna bust down all of the walls that confine me
bust ‘em down so that I can see
so-la sanc-tum
te-rra sanc-tum
I’m gonna build a house for my soul
I’m gonna build a house for my soul
I’m gonna build a house with my hands in the clay
build a house for my spirit to play

count your blessings
every day
and know that you have been blessed in a million ways
thank heaven and the stars above
for you wake up in the morning in the light of love
count your blessings
every way
don’t take for granted anything that makes your day
true, blessings don’t fall from the sky
they grow from seeds of grace and love
reaching for the light
count your blessings
grateful to
be spared from all the hardship that could easily find you
so many so less fortunate, it’s true
you know it wouldn’t hurt to show a little gratitude
count your blessings
hear me say
I’m just speaking for your heart, and it really wants to say
whoa, thank you for this day
I really do appreciate all the blessings comin’ my way
count your blessings
start today
for things could change tomorrow in a million unseen ways
thank heaven and the stars above
there’s so much to be thankful for when we can feel the love

Under the Banyan Tree

‘twas there we met
under the banyan tree
like yesterday
I can feel
your cool shade
soothe my body
oh woah mmmm
we fell in love
under the banyan tree
your loving arms
embrace me
you hold me swaying
in your breeze
oh whoa mmmm
we made our vows
under the banyan tree
we swore our hearts and souls to each
if ever we do part
right here, we’ll meet
oh whoa mmmm
when the south winds blow
I’ll return to the sea
we can rendez-vous
under the banyan tree
now I’ve grown old
under the banyan tree
though now you’re gone
I still feel
your warm breath
on my skin
oh whoa mmmm
someday I’ll be gone too
remember me
we can rendez-vous
under the banyan tree

LYRICS:
I am the terrorist, I am the enemy
till I can stop the war inside of me
I’m not so different from you can’t you see
we all want, we all want the same thing
to all be free from suffering
to all be free from pain
love and peace and happiness will reign
hold me
yes and I will hold you too
love me
but first you must love you
I’m going to lay my burden down
it’s time to lay your burden down
trust, your heart will show the way
we can walk into a brighter day
may we all be free from suffering
may we all be free from pain
love and peace and happiness will reign
oh and love will reign
yes and peace will reign
love and peace and happiness will rain down
and the rain will fall
and the peace will reign
oh love and peace and happiness will reign

Movin' a Mountain
06:41
|
|||
|
I'm movin' a mountain
one rock at a time
I'm-a carryin' the world upon my shoulders
but I'm keepin' my faith
and holdin' my head high
I'm movin' a mountain
before I die
each mindful moment
rock melts away
I feel no weight upon my shoulders
body in mind
soon the truth I"ll see
I'm movin' a mountain
findin' me
I'm movin' a mountain
makin' a molehill
just keep puttin' one foot in front of the other
I'm risin' above
fallin' to my knees
I'm movin' a mountain
soon I'll be free
chorus
I'm movin' a mountain
chippin' away
crushin' me
this debt I must repay
but what I'm mining's
better than gold
I'm movin' a mountain
treasures untold
chorus

Long Tom
05:50
|
|||
|
LYRICS:
daddy said, "ever find a still,
turn around and run back over that hill
sooner shoot than to look at you,”
whoa the ol’ long tom
deep in that dark swamp
huntin’ squirrel and coon
daddy’s words runnin’ through my head
“careful what you do!’”
“if you come upon a still,
get back over that hill
sooner shoot than to look at you
get away, get away, get away”
yonder come a clangin’
on the ol’ lead chain
I could see from behind that tree
long tom on his shoulder
tuggin’ on his ol’ mule
sled and still by two
bootleggers here, revenuers there
get away, get away, get away
chorus
boom goes up a still
echoes through the hills
boom, goes a lawman down
whoa, the ol’ black powder
there weren’t no bottle 'n bond
just a deep dark swamp
a brayin’ mule and a clangin’ chain
and the ol’ long tom
chorus

Homesick
04:03
|
|||
|
pondering all my wandering
over land and over sea
for belonging's so demanding
for a home, for my home
searching, not forsaken
'lo the rocks, beneath the trees
grows a flower, so demanding
standing tall, standing so tall
yearning for returning
like a rock goin' down the road
when it rolls no more, so demanding
this is home, this is my home
there's a train from every station
there's a ship that's leaving port
there's a bus from every roadstop
there're my shoes walkin' out the door
and there, somebody's dearly departed
there's no place like homesick
longing for belonging
with each twist and every turn
drawing nearer, so demanding
is a home, my very home
always yearning, for returning
goin' home, back to my home

Near But Far
04:46
|
|||
|
I reach for your skin but only find a drum
to beat out this lonely dance of my heart
I sing through the night hoping that you’ll hear
the lonely melody of my heart
oh, I’m not doing well in this body of mine
i wake to find you’ve gone
my worst fear
here you are
near but far
I hunt for your heart but cannot find the key
to unravel this mystery
I’m searching for a magical pen
to write the words a heart cannot say
oh, I’m not doing well, in this story I tell
that I’m not good enough
no, I’m not doing well, in this heart of mine
I wake to find you’ve gone
here you are
my worst fear
near but far
but near
