Awakening
03:40
|
|||
|
This is my awakening
I tried to reach the stars
And I had to get this far
No one set me free
It was always up to me
I had to let things go
I had to stop living for tomorrow
And what a sweet relief
Cause I can finally see
This is my awakening
I had to let things go
I had to stop living for tomorrow
And what a sweet release
Cause I can finally be
This is my awakening
Who am I?

Thoughts In Your Mind
03:23
|
|||
|
Do you hear the thoughts in your mind
Like dancing monkeys all the time
Do you see the thoughts in your mind
You can just let them go by
Don’t mistake who you are
For what is in your head.
No ideas that you have
Can ever truly reflect
Your beautiful soul
Are you here in the now
There are no more yesterdays
And no more tomorrows
In the moment you are free
In the moment is everything you want to be

To The Child
03:07
|
|||
|
To the child I was long ago
Don’t be afraid, you have a heart of gold
To the child I was way back then
Shine for me, let me set you free.
To the child I will love you now
I am your friend, this love will never end
Have faith in me, I need for you to see
That I was whole, but I didn’t even know.

Ordinary People
04:21
|
|||
|
This song is for you when you feel like you can’t go on
Know that it’s true you are strong
You’re never alone
Just listen with your heart
And act with love.
You stand for everything that’s good, even when it’s hard
And you walk your talk
What you do makes a difference
It don’t matter who you influence
To the ordinary people in this world
We thank you
Doing extraordinary things to make this world a better place
It’s the ordinary people in this world
We thank you
Who do extraordinary things to make this world a better place
You’re a teacher, healer, carer, giver
You inspire others to reach higher
It’s those little acts of kindness every single day
That make this world a truly better place
You’re an ordinary person in this world
You can do extraordinary things, to make this world a better place.

Mother Earth
03:25
|
|||
|
At night, in the land of my dreams
I hear the call and I know what it means
We don’t have much time, we must save the earth
Each and every one of you
We need every one of you
At night, in the land of my dreams
I hear her call and I know what she feels
Unite, defend all her seas, her trees, the air we breathe, the mountains and the valleys
Open your eyes
All God’s creatures, we need each other
We don’t have much time, we must save the earth

Never Enough
03:03
|
|||
|
It’s never enough
You feel empty inside
They keep telling you
That you should chase your dreams
Whatever that means
So you want some more
And you’re looking for the door
Where it all happens just for you.
You can’t chase your life to escape reality.
But you can change your life by accepting what is real.
It’s never enough
You feel empty inside
You are not your things
You are not your bucket list
You are so much more, but it’s not somewhere out there
It’s here on the inside
And you’re already enough

Reality
03:17
|
|||
|
Do you know what you feel like
Do you know what you see
Do you know what you sound like
Is this who you want to be
You complain, everyday
You waste your joy away
Nothing is as bad as it seems
This is just your chosen reality
This is not about your problems
This is not about your dreams
Are you even in the moment
Living in reality
You can change in a moment
You can choose how you want to be
Nothing is as bad as it seems
This is just your chosen reality
This is not about your problems
This is not about your dreams
Are you even in the moment
Living in reality
Accept reality…

Truth
03:49
|
|||
|
You’re eyes have been opened
The sky feels like it’s falling down
The lies that you have all been told
And disguised with hype you’ve all been sold
The tide is a turning
It’s the time for all of you to rise
Together we make can a change
We must find a better way
Try to figure out
Keep your wits about
Stop & think about
Are you looking for proof
Don’t you hesitate
No it’s too late
Whatever happened to truth
You have an important part to play
The problems don’t just go away
We need to learn from history
To show responsibility
Unite with each other
Stop thinking only of ourselves
Together we can make a change
We can find a better way.
Time to make a change
Find a better way
Take the bad away
Lets empower the youth
We can do it now
Let them show us how
We can learn from the truth

You're Not The One
03:24
|
|||
|
Had a feeling that he wasn’t gonna be the one
I was needing some more meaning
I was dreaming that maybe he would finally come
Always dreaming never seeing
I was burning out,
I was handing out
I was burning out…
You’re not the one, you can’t complete me.
Start believing that the spirit is inside yourself
No one else can give you meaning
There’s no reason to put your love upon the shelf
You deserve to be receiving
Try unfolding
Not controlling
Try unfolding
Had a feeling that it wasn’t gonna be the one
I was needing some more meaning
I was dreaming that maybe it would finally come
Always dreaming never being
Always burning out
No more burning out, no more handing out…
You’re not the one, you can’t complete me.
No one can complete me,
I’m already whole.

In This Moment
03:10
|
|||
|
Sometimes I could cry
Cause I don’t understand what’s around me
And I try to accept, that this just reality for me.
I will just carry on
I will remain this strong
I won’t give up, I’ll give it everything
Life is more than a memory
It’s here where you’re meant to be
In this moment
Shine you’re more than a memory
It’s here where you’re meant to be
In this moment
Child of mine
You’re so precious, oh so precious

Chase The Sunset
03:17
|
|||
|
I want to hold your hand
I want to chase the sunset
Everybody has a dream
Everybody wants to chase the rainbow
Don’t you know
Everybody wants to love
Everybody wants to find their way
They want it all today
I want to hold your hand
I want to chase the sunset
The journey may be long
And the road may be full of potholes
But don’t you give up
This is the part that counts
This is the bit really matters
I want to hold your hand
I want to chase the sunset
I’ll hold your hand
I’ll make a stand..

Do You Believe
04:10
|
|||
|
Do you feel the magic
Do you believe, in help from above
Do you see some kind of magic
Do you receive, messages from above
We are near you all the time
And we reveal, our love with a sign.
The universe is talking.
Will you believe, in something divine
Do you feel the magic
Do you believe, in love from above
Do you see some kind of magic
Do you receive, messages filled with love
These are your angels, these are you loved ones
There all around you, right here to support you
