Lyrics

You’re a run-a-way dream on a one-

way street, bound and determined

one step ahead of defeat. And

your growing, and it’s showing.

Don’t you ever lose your dreams,

your dreams their all you’ve got,

and don’t you ever change your

ways, and be someone your

not. Only you know, who you really

are, where you’re going and just

how far. so don’t you ever, lose

your dreams.

Love may come and love may go,

love may never stay that’s so, you

may long for a love one day, to be

deep and true and never fade away.

true love will come, I know that

it’s true, if you believe in dreams,

like I do. And that’s the same for

me, as it is for you.

It’s the same for me as it it is for

you, there ain’t no difference

between the two, working on your

dreams you’ll get the blues, and

one thing in life you’ll find that’s

true. That no matter how long, or

hard it seems, only you’ll know just

what these, sacrifices mean. So,

don’t you ever, lose your dreams.

So don’t you ever lose your dreams,

your dreams their what you are,

and don’t you ever change your

ways, or stop wishing on a star. If

you really believe, in your own

dream, you see it’s not as hard as

it may seem. So, don’t you ever

lose your dreams.

Lyrics

If it’s love that you long for,

there’s a path to finding more,

start to give for giving’s sake and

the love you seek you will create

Give sincerely from the heart,

that’s where the loving starts, make

the gift by your own hands and the

gift of love you’ll understand.

Everything that you do eventually

comes back to you, good or bad it’s

your own choice and your actions

speak with the loudest voice.

Be careful what you ask for, sooon

it will be knocking at your door and

if you ask for what you want, you

may instead be wanting what you need.

No one living ever knows, why

things in life are so, there are

mysteries in life, it’s better to

accept and not to fight.

If you follow what you feel and not

what you think is real, then your

timing gets in sync, follow what

you feel and not what you think.

Your life’s in synchronicity when

timing gets in harmony and knowing

there’s no coincidence, in

everything that you experience.

Lyrics

Your intuition it shines like the sun

it radiates inside of you it’s always

there and always true telling you

what’s best for you always speaking

directly to you

Your intuition it’s not what you think

when you think you think you know

that’s the time to let go ask yourself

what’s best for you let your intuition

come through

Your  intuition it won’t let you down

when your looking for the truth

look within that’s where it’s found

on it’s advice you can depend there’s

no doubt or fear you can’t transcend

Your intuition is your oldest friend

from the time your life began and even

after this one ends like your soul it’s

always been a part of you that knows

no end.

Lyrics

Everything that happens, happens

for a reason, the reason is the

meaning, the meaning’s not the

same for everyone.

There’s a rhythm to this life, it’s a

harmony when you get it right, to

be in synchronicity and on the path

that you were meant to be.

The object to this living, is the

lessons that we’re given, the

lessons never ending, and learning

is our spiritual transcending.

If you look for evidence, that fate

is just coincidence, and destiny

does not exist, you’ve discovered

ignorance is bliss.

There’s a voice inside of you, it

speaks straight from the heart of

you, telling you all the answers to,

all the questions life will put to you.

Timing’s everything in life, when

your timing’s good, you’ll know it’s

right, ’cause everything that you

say and do, will be exactly what

was best for you.

Lyrics

The truth begins when you tune

right in to the voice that comes

from deep within telling you

what’s best to do in any situation

you need to get through.

Your intuition is a direct line, to

the inspiration that you need to

find, to help you decide within’

your mind, exactly what to do

and wen it’s time.

Learn to recognize your own

voice, you got to realize that you

got a choice, to do what you

want or what’s best for you and

knowing what the difference is

between the two.

Nothing happens by coincidence

It’s all a result of providence

and everything that happens is a

prelude to, the next goal in life

you need to get to.

Your premonitions are a crystal

ball, that reveals the path to

one and all, take the time to

listen and make the choice to

believe in yourself and listen to

your inner voice.

Lyrics

First impressions rarely last and

they don’t reveal the past and if

you think you think you know, all

you know is nothing at all.

‘Cause you can never know some

one, till you walk a mile in their

shoes, nothing in this life is

what it seems.

The hardest thing to know in

life, is if someone we love just

might, be the one who we can

spend, our entire life.

You can never judge a book, if

you only see it’s cover and you’ll

never know a friend, like you’ll

know your lover.

Learn to close your eyes to see,

truth is full of irony and the only

thing that’s guaranteed is, this

life is an anomaly.

Lyrics

Love is letting go of fear

no greater knowledge you

will ever hear

do the same with your desire

and your ego is headed for

a funeral pyre

all the choices that we make

are made from fear

or for desires sake

all the outcomes this creates

is how we learn from

our mistakes.

Purpose is life’s great emphasis

a life without purpose

is paralysis

to find your purpose

is your greatest gift

you’ll find your purpose when you

follow your bliss

All the thoughts that we create

become the life that we imitate

we attract what we project

the more we give the more we get

Yesterday is history

tomorrow is a mystery

today’s a gift that we’ve been sent

that’s why it’s called a present.

Lyrics

There is no place better than

here and there is nothing here

that you should fear and if you

think that being someplace will

make you feel better about

yourself, when you get there

you’ll be shocked to see, your

brand new place has your same

old reality.

When your there becomes you’re

here, the there you left here

for, disappears, and a brand new

there that looks better than

here, is the onl new thing that

appears, there is a place you can

never get near, when you get

there it turns into to the same

old here.

Wherever in this world that you

may go, this fact of life you’ll

come to know, although your

scenery or local may change,

our state of mind will remain

the same, the very nature of

who you are, remains the same

whether you are near or far.

Lyrics

The cosmos are continuous and it

makes no sense to suggest that

evil, or evil forces are “driven

out” or “permanently destroyed”.

The concept of co-existence is

called “Rwa Bhineda”.

It seems this life, is a struggle

between wrong and right, but

there’s something that you may

not know, there’s another place

where you can go, in between

the good and bad, in the middle

of happy and sad, there’s a place

where you’ll be glad, in the

center of good and bad.

You’d never know what’s right, if

you didn’t know what’s wrong and

both of them are part of life

and they both belong. There’s a

place that’s in between, a

balance of the two extremes,

where you can live in harmony,

with what ever will be, in

perfect synchronicity.

Yes there are three realities,

the center is the place to be, a

state of mind you can attain, a

balance that can be maintained

and once you know you’re not the

same.

Once you understand this prose,

you’re on the path to really

know, that good and evil both

exist and to accept them both

and not resist. Show them both

the same respect, neither one

should you reject, let both know

you won’t forget, to acknowledge

their effect, your success and

happiness you’ll protect.

Lyrics

Been living my life, one day to

the next, my days are twice as

long, night’s got no rest. I’m

going through some changes and

you just got to give me time, my

intuition tells me that I’m waiting

for a sign.

I know my life it won’t be the

same, everything I am today will

completely rearrange, like grapes

upon the vine, that turn to

sparkling wine, my intuition tells

me that I’m waiting for a sign.

Waiting for a sign, I’ll know

when it’s time it may be obvious

or it may be sublime, gotta keep

my eyes wide and open up my

mind, my intuition tells me that

I’m waiting for a sign.

My time is near, I know my sign

will soon appear, it won’t be late

and I won’t hesitate.

I won’t look back, I’ll just move

ahead, I’ll know which way to go

and I won’t be mislead, I know

I’m heading for a better place

and time, my intuition’s taught

me to have faith in God’s signs.

Lyrics

Stop and take a look around,

you’ll be surprised what can be

found, the joy you seek in life is

all around. Your destination is

not the goal it’s just crossroads

for your soul, ’cause when this

journey ends another begins.

the joy is in the journey and

when this one ends another

begins. Yeah the joy is in the

journey and when this one ends

another begins, then again and

again.

Life’s too short to let it pass,

ya’ gotta slow down, try to

relax, get into he moment and

make it last. ‘Cause if you hurry

through this life, all ya’ gonna’

get is stress and strife and what

you miss is the best part of your life.

There’s more to life than meets

the eye, there’s more to living

than waiting to die, you start to

live when you learn to love the ride.
