WHY DON’T YOU DANCE
Walking ’round on Planet Earth ain’t easy for a star
Meeting shining souls who don’t remember who they are
Treating each other with hardness
Just as if loving was not a decision
Treating themselves with unkindness
Just as if living it was a competition
Why don’t you dance a little
Why don’t you sing a little song
Why don’t you just laugh a little
It feels so good, it can’t be wrong
Words like these are what you wish to say
But minds like that would think, “Loser’s chat”
And walk away
No they wouldn’t stay
They wouldn’t play
Fear seems real on Planet Earth
Ain’t easy to embrace
Shining souls forgotten about their home
And about their grace
Judging themselves with unkindness
As if forgiveness was not the solution
Judging each other with hardness
As if apartness it wasn’t an illusion
Why don’t you dance a little
Why don’t you sing a little song
Why don’t you just laugh a little
It feels so good, it can’t be wrong
Words like these are what you wish to say
But minds like that would think, “Loser’s chat”
And walk away
No they wouldn’t stay
They wouldn’t play
But then at least you can fly
You can offer this old world a dance with the sky
And then you can try
To release all the starlight that shines in your own eye
So why don’t you dance a little
Why don’t you sing a little song
Why don’t you just laugh a little
It feels so good, it can’t be wrong
Why don’t you dance
MARBLE AND FEATHERS
Feathers
So light that I can hardly tell it’s here
Sensing
A presence that is everything – but clear
Touching me lightly
Moving me slightly
Nudging my heart with a breeze
And as I wish to make it stay
It is drifting away
Leaving me longing for ease
Marble
So solid it’s impossible to fall
Sensing
A gravity that’s anchoring the call
Holding me tight, it is
Rooting the light
Pledging my heart to the ground
And as I wish to drift away
It is making me stay
Leaving me restless and bound
And out of the blue awakening is here
Letting me know returning is near
Showing me the qualities that appear
The colours I see – the music I hear
When something as light as a feather
And something as solid as marble
Is merging together.
Heavenly feathers
And marble of the Earth
Merging together
Thus giving every step I take its worth
And out of the blue awakening is here
Letting me know returning is near
Showing me the qualities that appear
The colours I see – the music I hear
When something as light as a feather
And something as solid as marble
Is merging together.
THEY SAY
They say that all you’re doing is wrong
And that you have to work on being strong
By hardening up your heart
And play another card
They say that King of Sword
Gives the appropriate reward
They say that sensitivity hurts
And that it doesn’t work unless you convert
By giving in and try
To let your senses die
They say that trusting Queen of Hearts
Will only tear your life apart
And mostly when they say it
They seem so very sure
But in the eyes the hearts reveal a doubt
And though their voices shout it
They’re kind of insecure
Hoping that the way you show
Will free their spirits out
But then they say that love is making you blind
And if you choose it life will leave you behind
And so you have to hide
The softness of your pride
They say that hiding is providing
That no one slips inside
MOTHER EARTH
Mother Earth – you gave birth
To all the living creatures of your body
Fed us all – you stood tall
Though all we ever wanted was shallow and shoddy
Sacrificed your deepest needs
For the benefit of our free will
You gave us room
To learn the lesson of the sin to kill
And now the time has come
When we must face what we’ve created
You’re showing us the outcome of humanity’s despair
Giving us the gift to realize that we’re related
Knowing that the future all depends on our ability to care
Gaya soul – wise and old
You were the one to guard this precious globe
Now you fly – say goodbye
Leaving it to mankind to nurture and cope
Did we ever open up
To the wisdom of your loving heart
Now we must search
Inside ourselves to find a way to start
And now the time has come
When we must face what we’ve created
You’re showing us the outcome of humanity’s despair
Giving us the gift to realize that we’re related
Knowing that the future all depends on our ability to care
SHE’S A BELIEVER
This winter has been a long and frozen road
And though she bought a brand new coat
The days of feeling good
Were much fewer than they should
This winter has been a dark and windy night
And though she tried to fix the light
The sense of being clear
Always seemed to disappear
And still she’s a believer
This funny feeling won’t leave her
It goes on and on and on and on
Telling her not to worry
‘Cause somewhere right behind the sun
There’s no being sorry at all
This loving has been a long continuous doubt
And though she tried to sort it out
The days of feeling high
Were just passing as a sigh
This loving has been a cold and lonely walk
And every time she tried to talk
The sense of feeling right
Seemed to turn into a fight
And still she’s a believer
This funny feeling won’t leave her
It goes on and on and on and on
Telling her not to worry
Cause somewhere right behind the sun
There’s no being sorry at all
UPS AND DOWNS
Life is filled with ups and downs
With flowing emotions that circle around
Oh, and you know so well
You’ve gotta be strong
Whenever life ain’t singing
Your favourite kind of song
You played that game again and again
That keep-on-fighting game, preventing love to end
Oh, and you know so well
It’s not worth while
When that sweet loving of yours
Gives rather a tear than a smile
‘Cause too many downs make it hard to believe
So don’t let them make you afraid to give
Cause every time you give up
And close your heart
You have to try even harder
If you wanna open up and make a new start
Life is filled with ups and downs
With flowing emotions that circle around
Oh, and you know so well
You’ve gotta be strong
Whenever life ain’t singing
Your favourite kind of song
‘Cause too many downs make it hard to believe
So don’t let them make you afraid to give
Cause every time you give up
And close your heart
You have to try even harder
If you wanna open up and make a new start
Cause love can be flirting
And love can be hurting
And that is a truth you have always known
But if the hurting gets stronger
And last even longer
You know that it’s time to be on your own
Too many downs make it hard to believe
So don’t let them make you afraid to give
Cause every time you give up
And close your heart
You have to try even harder
If you wanna open up and make a new start
DAUGHTERS
I’m in such an awe to know that you chose me
To guide you through the wilderness
Of human legacy
Along the way you had to face the destiny
Of being angels on the Earth
Of being able to see
But don’t you let this Earth life get you
Don’t you dare to make you feel that you’re no good
Don’t you ever doubt the light that shines so bright
From the truth you know so well and never misunderstood
I’m in such an awe to look up on your grace
To see the way you’re glowing
In this new expanding space
And now as you explore your own eternity
You’re showing to a wondering world
How human angels can be
But don’t you let this Earth life get you
Don’t you dare to make you feel that you’re no good
Don’t you ever doubt the light that shines so bright
From the truth you know so well and never misunderstood
Daughters of Light
Finding way – loosing sight
Always getting back on track
Your beauty is shining
Your mind’s redefining
The human way to be
When everyone can see
Don’t you let this Earth life get you
Don’t you dare to make you feel that you’re no good
Don’t you ever doubt the light that shines so bright
From the truth you know so well and never misunderstood
I CHOOSE
“Don’t expect to gain respect
Just being who you are
Life is rough, be hard and tough
That’s all that has worked so far”
That’s what I’ve been told from the very first day
“You’d better prepare for the fight”
I made up my mind now to try a new way
Choosing to reach for the light
And I choose ease and grace
I choose elegance and space
I choose to live without the pain I knew so well
And I choose faith and love
I choose the guidance from above
I choose expanding and enjoying to be swell
Because I’ve struggled far enough
My heart can tell
“Don’t you think that there’s a link
Between yourself and God
God is great and you were made
From sinful human blood”
That’s what I’ve been told from the very first day
“You’d better feel guilty and shy”
I’ve made up my mind now to try a new way
Choosing to reach for the sky
So I choose ease and grace
I choose elegance and space
I choose to live without the pain I knew so well
And I choose faith and love
I choose the guidance from above
I choose expanding and enjoying to be swell
Because I’ve struggled far enough
My heart can tell
TOUCH ME
Baby I’m shaking
My body is aching
I feel I am fading away
My heart seems so frightened
Needs to be lightened
The only thing right is to pray
I’m praying for peace
Begging you please to show the way
Baby I’m crying
My body is sighing
I feel I am drifting away
My energy’s falling
Too weak for calling
The only thing right is to pray
I’m praying for love
Begging the dove to show the way
Touch me with tenderness
Hand me a sigh
Give me plenty of time to turn on by and by
Let me drink of your power
Let me give it a try
Oh baby teach me how to
Give it in
To make me warm again
Baby it’s scary
How can I be weary
When everything seems to be right
This darkness is killing
Cheating and thrilling
It seems that it’s constantly night
I’m praying for light
Hoping this fight will clear the sight
Touch me with tenderness
Hand me a sigh
Give me plenty of time to turn on by and by
Let me drink of your power
Let me give it a try
Oh baby teach me how to
Give it in
To make me warm again
ISN’T IT GREAT
Lull in the air
Ice in the sky
Shadows of darkness drifting by
Shivering cold
Touchy and nude
Happiness hides in solitude
Hearts feeling sad
Eyes taking flight
Trying to catch a gleam of light
Hardness and frost
Long for release
Nature recalls a life at ease
Isn’t it great what life can bring
Just when you couldn’t stand a thing
Out of the darkness grows the spring
Wakening every little thing
Causing your heart to jump and sing
Catching fortune on the wing
Soft as a breeze
Light as a down
Sighs of relief all around
Hope in the souls
Strength in the flow
Fragile beginnings start to grow
Isn’t it great what life can bring
Just when you couldn’t stand a thing
Out of the darkness grows the spring
Wakening every little thing
Causing your heart to jump and sing
Catching fortune on the wing
Suddenly winter’s on the run
Like vanishing dew before the sun
Suddenly spring is here to stay
Making your sleepy mood go away
Isn’t it great what life can bring
Just when you couldn’t stand a thing
Out of the darkness grows the spring
Wakening every little thing
Causing your heart to jump and sing
Catching fortune on the wing
IT WORKED ALL RIGHT
When you came to this earth
You were a little scared of the folks
You didn’t realize how people’s minds are evoked
You tried to teach them about the love
From heaven above
It was hard and you got scarred at the start
But then it worked all right
Just like you thought that it might
Love turned out to be the key to the light
And now the people who dare
Being awake and aware
Have the chance to live – with care
Well, it worked all right
Just like you thought that it might
It worked all right
Words are silver but acting well is gold
That’s what you learned once more
Although this truth is old
It seemed that magic started when you began to play
‘Cause it made people on earth live in a different way
And then it worked all right
Just like you thought that it might
Love turned out to be the key to the light
And now the people who dare
Being awake and aware
Have the chance to live – with care
Well, it worked all right
Just like you thought that it might
It worked all right
