Behind the veil, I can see the truth of a young and innocent child.
I can see her face, I can see her smile.
Now that she knows she is born.
As I hold her hand and she laughs with me.

Now that she knows she is safe.

As she spins around with her feet off the ground

Now that she knows she has wings

And it’s an alchemy of wholeness that she brings into this world.  It’s the words of human kindness, that have lifted up her soul. (x2)

Can you imagine the joy and the bliss in her heart?
As she moves through the rhythm of her soul
And it’s an alchemy of wholeness that has made her fly.
When the seeds of truth are in open bloom and her day is a magical song

When she knows she is one with the luminous sun, there is no place where she does not belong

The alchemy of wholeness (repeat)

It’s a sign of strength in her destiny that is guiding the road to her heart It’s an open door to a shimmering shore where the waves are inviting her in

And it’s an alchemy of wholeness, it’s a miracle in motion

And it’s an alchemy of wholeness, it’s a play of her devotion. (x2)

Now that she sees that it’s all there in front of her eyes on a screen that is mirroring her soul.

It’s an alchemy of wholeness yeah yeah (x2)

That has made her fly…

Moving through the shadows Found a way to breathe

Found a way that’s comfortable for me

Took a look at darkness, didn’t know what I’d find.

I found the corners of my mind.

You poisoned all my dreams and let me dry, damaged both my wings I could not fly

Foolish pride you took over me There is no place for you in my heart

Foolish pride you discovered me Took my life and tore it apart

You made me feel like I was doing wrong

You made me feel I never would belong

You never let me see that I was strong

Foolish pride (repeat)

Listened to the whispers, followed all the signs, looked into the corners of my mind

Saw a new dimension never seen before, made me realised what lay in store

You poisoned all my dreams and left me dry, damaged both my wings I could not fly

Foolish pride (repeat)

Lord make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is heatred let me saw love. Where there is doubt Please have faith in me, Oh Lord. Let me not be so much consolded as to console. Give me your grace. Let me not be pardoned so much as to pardon, and let me give as you would have me receive.

Lord may I see you in my dreams Lord may I hear you in my prayers Lord may you be with me the rest of my days

Let me be an instrument of thy grace. May I Iearn to give my love That’s what I do believe, that when I truly give I truly will receive.

When we pardon others wrongs we are pardoned in return and when we die in you we will be born

I choose Love over fear yeah yeah (x3)

I choose sunshine over rain yeah yeah

I choose a symphony of sweetness over pain, ‘coz I’m giving up my faith in illusion yeah yeah, giving up my faith in confusion yeah yeah (x2)

And I’m making my own way to my heart where there is only joy and bliss, where there is only joy and bliss

I choose love over fear yeah yeah (x3)

I choose sunshine over rain yeah yeah

I choose a symphony of sweetness over pain, ‘coz I’m giving up my faith in illussion yeah yeah, giving up my faith in confusion yeah yeah. Where the heart lives where the heart lives

And I’m making my own way to my heart where there is only joy and bliss, where there is only joy and bliss.

Where the heart lives.. where the heart lives

I choose love over fear

where the heart lives

I choose love over doubt

where the heart lives…

And I’m making my own way to my heart, where there is only joy and bliss. I’m making my own way to my heart where there is only joy and bliss..

Action, take action follow the word of your soul

Do it, don’t ponder just do it.

Do it, don’t ponder just do it. (x4)

Grace will follow you revealing an archway

As she pours forth the fruits of your deeds, where the hounds of the night may give you a fright, I’ll be there with the torch of my hand.

I am calling to you, I am calling to you

A magnificent future awaits you beloved

Action take action (repeat all)

I’ll pursue you by day

I ‘ll guide you by night

To be sure that I see the way

So go forth with conviction with this benediction

I ‘ll anoint you all the way

I am a natural and perfect child from this place there is no dark Where the clouds are just impressions, moveable illusions of a contracted film inside.

I am hunted in my dreams by you. As you speak to me through scenes.

You are the face through which the lord shines, I am ecstatic in your sunshine, I am a free and perfect child.

You are the light by which I travel You are the light by which I return You are the radiant kundalini that is causing me to burn.

Verse and chorus repeat

So be simple in your thoughts, be simple in your song, be simple in your actions if you want to get along.

You’re closer than you think to where you want to go.

Be graceful in your movement that’s what you need to know

You are the light by which I travel You are the light by which I return You are the radiant kundalini

That is causing me to burn…

Free your body free your voice, free the silence from within.

Let the wisdom of love shine through you now and heal the wound from inside.

I can’t handle being caught in a cage where nothing is happening.

The truth of life is pulling me to a truth that is far beyond… this place inside.

Nature’s bringing strength to you, Love and laughter are yours. Great joy in song, Let’s sing along And lift our hearts to the world. Innocence is ringing, memory bringing the path of the warrior within.

The one who brings magic and sweet celebration to a world that’s weeping inside.

Give it up to God Give it up to love Give it all you’ve got right now Give it up to love Give it up to God Give it up to love Give it all you’ve got right now Give it up to love Give it up to God Give it up to Love Give it all you’ve got right now Give it up to God

The soil is turning the earth is burning.New love, new love.

(repeat)

We wear each other down and we merge and there is no pain.

We open up the scars of our hearts there is liquid love inside (x2)

Why do we cry? why do we fear? When there isn’t anyone but you in here..

Why do we hurt? Why do we scream? When there isn’t anyone but you, in here.

The breaking of illusion is strong the roles we’ve played have helped us both along.

You’ve shown me where I’m caught in the dream and that none of it is reality at all.

Why do we hurt? Why do we scream? when there isn’t anyone but you in here..

And a butterfly is emerging (x2)

She is leaving the worlds of sorrow behind

Yes a butterfly is emerging

A truthful light is returning, where freedom from duality is ripe.

Why do we hurt? Why do we scream? when there isn’t anyone but you in here

And a butterfly is emerging (x2)

She is leaving the worlds of sorrow behind, a truthful light is returning, where freedom from duality is ripe

We wear each other down and we merge and there is no pain..
