Feel It All

1. feel it all
with soft and naked feet I walk and I walk
on the stony, on the stony, on the stony road
I feel the little stones, feel them in my flesh
stinging in my, stinging in my, stinging in my toes
heavy rain falls down on me, soaking me to my bones
I’m standing lonesome, standing lonesome with arms open wide.
the tears run down my cheek, they’re salty on my tongue
I wonder if they’re, wonder if they’re from pain or joy
I open my heart and feel
I open my heart and feel
I open my heart and feel I feel I feel it all
heyeah…
I see the rising sun, it’s lighting up the world
and all its colors, all its colors beaming right at me
I hear the humming birds, their songs ring in my ears
make me wanna, make me wanna, make me wanna…
and I open my heart and sing
I open my heart and sing
I open my heart and sing I sing I sing I sing
heyeah..
I’m on my way to become who I am who I am (2x)
laughter and pain, teardrops and joy all belong
on my way to become who I truly am
Heyeah…
and I open my heart and sing
with soft and naked feet I walk and I walk
on the stony, on the stony, on the stony road…

Someone Out There

2. someone out there
someone cares about you
someone cares about you
someone knows all about you
someone is always with you
and she cries with you when you’re blue
in despair she’ll carry you through
and she’ll swear she’ll always be with you
someone out there knows all of your lies
someone out there hears all of your cries
someone out there will always forgive
someone out there will always believe…
…in you
when you think you’ve done wrong
is with you, when the others are gone
telling you that you’ll never be alone
this someone out there has a million different names
this someone out there has a million different shapes
this someone out there is everywhere

In Your Eyes

3. in your eyes
little Sue catching a butterfly
she’s riding on his wings
to the fairy queen in her garden so green
golden sparks of light
are dancing round the trees
in the summer breeze in the night
and the queen
takes Sue’s little head
inside her tender hands
this is what she says to her
look into my eyes and I’ll tell you what I see
when I look into your eyes I’m dazzled by the pure beauty
hand in hand, walking through this wonderland
to the sacred place
where the birds sing so sweetly and the springs are silver clear
the sacred waters lie
so pure before their feet
they’re kneeling down to greet themselves
look into your face, tell me who you are
when I look into my face, I’m a universe of glowing stars.
one day, I walk down the street alone
this stranger says hello
the gleaming in his eyes touches me in my heart
a smile escapes my lips
my heart is open wide
this is how I feel inside
when I look into your eyes
I can feel the love in you
when I look into your eyes
I see myself inside of you
see myself inside of you....

Song For An Oaktree

4. song to an oak tree
beautiful oak tree, you welcome rain and sun with open arms
ancient oak tree, your feet reach down far beneath this ground
wise oak tree, tell me all about your long life
tell me ‘bout your wounds and your scars
tell me ‘bout this place hundreds of years ago
tell me the tales of nature’s mysteries
how many birds disappeared from here, no longer seen?
beautiful oak tree, you give your shade you are my comfort now
ancient oak tree you’re my teacher, you’re my friend you’re my guide
wise oak tree here’s a seeker longing for some hope
here’s a refugee from the neon cities
here’s a child too afraid to lose its grounding memories
here’s a simple mind looking out for peace
can I lay down all my shallow and selfish needs?
beautiful oak tree, I’ve heard a sad murmur in the wind
ancient oak tree, you are the last tree of your kind
wise oak tree, there’s no forgiveness the way we sinned
does it make sense trying to understand
is there a good reason for why we are so ignorant
is there a way out for the ones who seek?
can I lay down all my shallow and selfish needs?
beautiful oak tree I embrace you with my arms brown and long
ancient oak tree I can hear your heart beat going slow and strong
wise oak tree I will carry you on in my song…..

Stranger

5. stranger
stranger, you can’t be a stranger
you must be an angel I met long ago
the ocean’s treasures are so deep inside its depth
so far away from you
unless your heart is pure and if you’re fearless
come and swear
to always be its fool
stranger, you can’t be a stranger
you must be an angel I met long ago.
one special day I found a treasure washed upon my ground
waiting for me
he said “be mine, I’m yours, if you’re a fool, you cannot lose!
“it’s destiny we meet”
stranger, you’re eyes are a danger
they invite me to linger forever inside
but my mind won the fight and my heart cries inside
and its teardrops turn into ice
hopeless dreams they sail into the open sea in pain
to drown themselves
waves they wash the shore and take with them
what I need no more.

7. like you
I’m afraid like you, I’m afraid like you
I will die like you
I cry like you
and my tears they fall into my empty hands
I’m afraid like you, yes I’m afraid like you
of this letting go, letting go of old stories
but it’s the only way to free my soul
it means letting go, even letting go of you
ahhh…
darling I am here for you, yes I’m here for you
you can take my hand and I walk down the road with you
I’ll surrender myself to life and to you
letting go of the old we don’t need no more
ahhh….
to trust in life is all I can do
be true to my heart, all I can really do
there’s no map to hold, no map to hold on to
and I don’t know how the story ends for me and for you
but I know that I’m here now
and I know what I feel is real
yes I know that I’m here now
and I know what I feel is real
and I live
and I love you
it doesn’t matter if your dreams come true
it doesn’t matter how your plans work out
it only matters how you live your life right now…
I am free, you are free, we are free!!!!!

7. waiting for you
when the rain stops and the darkness ends
then you go outside to welcome the light, welcome the light
and you don’t know how you must go on
but you don’t have to know just follow your heart, follow your heart
breathe in, breathe out, bring in, bring out,
cause it’s all right inside
waiting for you
now you’re standing here, remembering
who you truly are
you’re love and you’re light, love and you’re light
now you’re standing here and you’re filled with joy
cause you’re all that you are
you’re love and you’re light, love and you’re light
breathe in, breathe out, bring in, bring out,
cause it’s all there inside
waiting for you
waiting for you, waiting for you…
to be set free now,
to be uncovered now
to be lived right now

8. northern star
I saw the northern star
shining as bright as the day
lighting up my way
the beautiful northern star
he smiled at me from afar
promising to take me to the moon
and he said soon
the beautiful northern star
I do believe you and I trust you my soul
if I can reach you will you be my new home
your light can bring out the best inside of me
and mine,
the best inside of you
I fell in love with that star
reaching out to grip his light
tried to grip him tight
the beautiful northern star
the more I’m gripping my star
the further he’s slipping away
so I leave him sail
the beautiful northern star
I do believe you and I trust you my soul
if I can reach you will you be my new home
your light can bring out the best inside of me
and mine,
the best inside of you
I am Your northern star…
