01 Don’t You Ever Lose Your Dreams
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.
02 Aesops Fables
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.
03 Intuition
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.

05 Everything That Happens
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.
06 Listen To Your Inner Voice
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.
07 Nothing In This Life
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.
08 Love Is Letting Go Of Fear
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.
09 Here Is There
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.
10 Rwa Bhineda
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.
11 Waiting For A Sign
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.
12 Joy Is In The Journey
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.
