Turn Around

Make the time/to take a walk
Through the forests and the mountains
Or just sit by the sea
Feel the breezes blow/Touch the trees
Feel the spirit in nature's harmonies
 
Turn around Turn around, Turn around Turn around
 
Watch a waterfall/Rainbows in the mist
Feel love and light grow in the ones that you're with
There's more than meets the eye going on around here
And it's more than coincidence going on around here
 
Turn around Turn around, Turn around Turn around
 
Feel the presence/Divine energy
The spirit's essence/It's inside of you, it's inside of me
Feel the magic/Feel the touch/Feel the presence/Feel the love
 
Turn around Turn around, Turn around Turn around
 
Turn around and look inside
Turn around and listen now
 
The most precious treasure of all is inside our hearts
It's in the love we give away
It's in the truth and not in lies
Beyond all darkness in a light
It's so near it's not really very far
It's right here inside our very hearts
 
Turn around Turn around, Turn around Turn around
 
Make the time/To take a walk
Through the forests and the mountains
Or just sit by the sea
 
Feel the magic, feel the touch
Feel the presence and feel the love
 
Turn around Turn around and Look inside
Turn around Turn around and Listen now
Turn around Turn around and Look inside.

Simple and Clear

Somebody somewhere they were asking me
What's my name? And who am I?
And where do I live? And what do I do?
And then I asked them 'Do you really want the truth?'
'Cause it's simple and clear
I'm an instrument of the infinite
And now I'm here with you.
 
And then they get this puzzled look in their eyes
But I'm really not surprised - I'm getting used to it.
Someday we'll all understand the angel inside
Every woman and man just waiting to fly
Every woman and man just waiting to fly
 
There's people everywhere and there's people in every land
Already understand - that there's only one truth -
And there's only one love
And we just want to share it all the very best that we can
Yes we just want the truth and we just want to love
We just want to share it all the very best that we can.
 
'Cause it's simple and clear
we're all instruments of the infinite
Yes, it's simple and clear
We're all instruments of the infinite
And someday we'll all understand the angel inside
Every woman and man just waiting to fly
Someday we'll all understand the angel inside
Every woman and man just waiting to fly.
 
Got one goal in life - Fill our souls up with light
And pass it on from heart to heart
Got one goal in life - Fill our souls up with light
And pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on from heart to heart
Pass it on Pass it on Pass it on Pass it on
Pass it on Pass it on Pass it on Pass it on
 
Yes, it's simple and clear
we're all instruments of the infinite
Yes, it's simple and clear
we're all instruments of the infinite
Yes, it's simple and clear
we're all instruments of the infinite
And someday we'll all understand the angel inside
Every woman and man just waiting to fly
 
Got one goal in life - Fill our souls up with light
And pass it on from heart to heart.

Upside Down Rainbow

Well I've got this picture inside my heart
Of God smiling to all of us
With this great big smile
Like an upside down rainbow
A great big smile like an upside down rainbow
And I've got this feeling deep within my soul
Of God giving us all a giant hug and kiss
Yeah, I've got this feeling deep within my soul
Of God giving us all a giant hug and kiss
(on the top of our heads, it's the sweetest bliss).
 
Oh it's a wondrous world and I'd never believe it
If I wasn't living in it here and now
It's a life divine, thank God I can see it
Being here with you, and seeing your heart shine
Well, forget about the future and forget about the past
Just try to make every sacred moment last
Yes, forget about the future and forget about the past
Just try to make every sacred moment last
Let's try to make them last
 
And we believe in the light of love
The light of love will carry us through
Yeah, we believe in the light of love
The light of love will shine the way through
And no matter what time it is, no matter where we are
It's always time to love
Yeah, no matter what time it is, no matter where we are
It's always time to love - here and now.

 

Like the Wind

Like the wind that's blowing through the trees
Spirit flows inside of you and me
Life the wind that's blowing through the trees
Spirit flows inside of you and me.
 
And when we open up our hearts
That's when love starts to flow
Just give it one little try
And love will overflow
From me to you and from you to me
From me to you, from you to me
 
Life the waves flowing on the sea
Spirit flows inside of you and me
Like the waves flowing on the sea
Spirit flows inside of you and me
 
And when we open up our hearts
That's when love starts to flow
Just give it one little try
And love will overflow
From me to you and from you to me
From me to you, from you to me
 
Like the stars in all the galaxies
Spirit shines inside of you and me
Like the stars in all the galaxies
Spirit shines inside of you and me
 
And when we open up our hearts
That's when love starts to flow
Just give it one little try
And love will overflow
From me to you and from you to me
From me to you, from you to me

 

In My Dreams

And in the morning when I opened my eyes
I found no more tears that I cried from last night
All the pain of the past at last - It's disappeared
And once again sweet love is shining clear
 
And it seems in my dreams that I remember
A sweet place, magnificent surrender
Where we all shine brighter than all the stars
And we become who we really are - we really are!
 
Well it seems to me that I held some answer
Right within both of my hands
And love was the ticket for the final transfer
And all there was to really understand
 
And it seems in my dreams that I remember
A sweet place, magnificent surrender
Where we all shine brighter than all the stars
And we become who we really are - we really are!
 
I can fly and I don't even have to try
When I look in your eyes I can fly
In your light, in your light, in your light
 
We're singing and dancing making the most
Of each and every precious moment that we share
Together in the spirit, together in the light
Together in our love, Together in this magical life
There's something in our hearts, sacred and divine
And when we share our love, oh that light it shines
Let it fill our lives, let it overflow
Let it free the miracles waiting in our souls
 
There's a magic alive inside everybody's hearts right now
Yes, there's a magic alive inside everybody's hearts right now
Oh, there's a magic alive inside everybody's hearts right now
Let's let it out, let it out ...
 
And in the morning when I opened my eyes
I found no more tears that I cried from last night
All the pain of the past, at last - It's disappeared
And once again you've shown me love is shining clear
 
And it's not just my dreams that I remember
There really is a space, magnificent, sweet surrender
Where we all shine brighter than all the stars
And we become who we really are - We really are!
