Humbled by your love that broke my heart enough to know,
the pain of loosing all I loved and loosing my way home
laid in flames upon the alter of the great unknown,
and rising from the ashes of a fire that burned my soul.
Every silent breath we cease to breath together is grieved,
ground to dust my jagged edges smoothed and rounded deep,
torn to pieces by the stories written and deceived,
death is taking place within me as your essence leaves.
Rising from the ashes of a fire that burned my soul,
bathing in the waters that will teach me to be whole,
blowing down the borders of my heart release my song,
standing on the earth and being right where I belong
standing on the earth and being right where I belong
blowing down the borders of my heart release my song
bathing in the waters that will teach me to be whole,
rising from the ashes of a fire that burned my soul,

Deeper

The way you prayed upon my skin, begged the heavens let us in,
we called upon the power of the earth guardians,
we played the game of time, expired all our moments,
you carved upon my soul but do you notice,
I wanted to take you deeper,
deeper than you’ve ever been before,
I want to find God in you,
enlighten places never seen before,
Further down the path I find another open door,
the pieces have assembled even brighter than before,
but if I grasp for heaven, will it move to a distant shore,
are you offering your ocean or just a glass floor,
I want to take you deeper,
deeper than you’ve ever been before,
I want to find God in you,
enlighten places never seen before,

Open Skies

You took me for a ride and you held my hand and I let you in,
your words don't mean the same as they would if I had spoken them,
you lead me to my knees and I gave in,
It’s a mystery to me why love doesn't get to win,
Falling from highest highs
you took me for a ride,
how was I to know,
you’d be so quick to let me go
I hoped we both could fly,
I said welcome to my open skies,
like the water flowing to the sea,
you got tamed by the rules of gravity
They say if you love, you've got to let go,
give time give thanks give space to grow
what will return we don't know,
trust in the art of the sacred heart
I’m ready now, to take the vow, to belong
how does it feel when its all real, I ask myself
Falling from highest highs
you took me for a ride,
how was I to know,
you’d be so quick to let me go
I hoped we both could fly,
I said welcome to my open skies,
like the water flowing to the sea,

Starlight

Starlight, shining so bright, cradle my soul, deliver me home,
to eat of the fruits or deny, pure love, from above,
golden and open, a gift of this moment,
why is it hard, to let go of the war, release to the peace and be equal,
soul fires burn and heal, a conscious creation of boundless limitation,
for I will not be bound,
to love you and free you these lips wont deceive you,
hear the sacred and holy sound.
Stone turns to water in your hands,
there I take shelter, no mater how far, a timeless alignment,
I whisper your name, coz I have a key to your heart.
Starlight, dance with me slowly,
breathing in time let us bath in the river tonight
its alright, there’s still time, to heat from the cold,
and honour the ancients of old,
Stone turns to water in your hands,
there I take shelter, no mater how far, a timeless alignment,
I whisper your name, coz I have a key to your heart.

Sandcastles

If this house could be an open door,
walk in walk out and nothing more, just love, and a place to rest,
Like life we’re born and then we’re gone,
no matter our choice we must move on,
and everything in between is blessed
Impermanence we understand,
and tho this castles made of sand,
i’ll be grateful when the tide returns,
water under the bridge we know,
is homebound to the ocean so,
stand firm upon your path and watch it go,
and only time will show, what only time can show.
You have a sweetness I adore,
I’ll tend your garden, meet your shore,
and in the place of presence we give each other meaning,
all I wish is for us all, to open our hearts and hear the call
beyond this little story there’s a higher dreaming,
Impermanence we understand,
and tho this castles made of sand,
i’ll be grateful when the tide returns,
water under the bridge we know,
is homebound to the ocean so,
stand firm upon your path and watch it go,
and only time will show, what only time can show.

Closer than we know

Come to me my darling, we are closer than we know,
what a man your becoming, I the woman you’ll soon know,
Feel your arm wrapped around me, feel your eyes looking deep in my soul
I know this is a go thing, take it home let it grow
We know who we are, made of ether and star,
we’ll go frolicking near and far, make home wherever we are,
And i’ll keep on praying, for the way to be clear,
and I’ll keep on saying, I believe in you dear
I’ll carry strings you carry skins, we’ll dance the red road's medicine
maybe one day we’ll begin, teaching these ways to our kin,
And i’ll feel a beating heart growing within,
and we’ll know the miracle of how life begins
