Sleepwalking 03:03
Sleepwalking, sleepwalking over the edge, you gave your power to the people who think you’re better of dead. Sleepwalking, sleepwalking, better wake up soon or you might open your eyes and find you’ve nothing else to loose, so take your power back (x3), the power of love. They’ll inject you with a probe and they can track you thus, and there’s none that’s bought or sold that’s anonymous. The poison that they feed you will keep you on a drip, it’s mercury or barium or Roundup Ready. We’ve been all sleepwalking (x3) - deep sleepwalking. We’ve been all sleepwalking (x3): so wake up the power of love, the power of love, power up! (solo) (verse 1)(Chorus)(Chorus B) so wake up the power of love (x2)

Elevate 04:40
Can you lift us, to our future? The years keep slipping by, the clock is ticking. We’ll run the gauntlet, fight the debris for sixty-two thousand miles. See the starlight glow, let the tether go. Is it too late, no time to wait? When we will, fly on into the blue. Calling us now, calling us to go on & elevate. Is this the answer, to the problems? Leave the trash at home, we’ll be long gone. Where we’re weightless, we can face less, head off to the unknown. Feel the fusion glow; let the tether go. (Chorus) If we see it now, we can make it somehow & circumvent this breakdown to go higher, go higher, yeah. Leave the trash at home (x4) (Chorus)

Some day, when this is long behind me, I can say that when I looked behind I could see the stars in the dark before the dawn, yes I could. “To live and learn” is an apt expression, so try again, try the same old lesson patiently, is how I need to be, it seems. And I know some more rain will surely have to fall, before I hear the sweetest sound of knocking at my door. Seems it’s been a thousand years or more They’ll be no division, there is nothing missing when my heart is singing that love’s come home. I felt desire, without expectation. I felt the rush, the hope for resolution, letting go of darkness from before. And in the night I sent a message for you; did you receive it across the miles of ocean, hear it though it was as silent as a thought? Yes it was, but I know some more rain will surely have to fall, before I hear that sweetest sound of knocking at my door. It seems it’s been a thousand years or more but there’ll be no division, there is nothing missing when my heart is singing that love’s come home, oh, singing that love’s come home. It’s coming home, it’s coming soon, so I sing. (Chorus) Some more rain will surely have to fall, before I hear that sweetest song that deepens my resolve and I can wait a thousand years or more; so hold on to the vision, there is nothing missing when my heart is singing that love’s come home, oh, singing that love’s come home for good. It’s coming home, its coming soon so I sing …

Under the spotlight, nothing is gelling right, it’s the same old feeling, Showing your pretence, hiding the evidence, giving age old reasons. Batting down, lashing out. You’re smashing the bottle at maximum throttle. Don’t you have enough, ‘nough, ‘nough, ‘nough? You’re swimming in oil, keeping the spoils. Don’t you have enough, ‘nough, ‘nough, ‘nough? You’re moving behind me & I can’t see you closing in, as your wheels keep turning. I hold on for dear life, I may not get out in time, ‘cause you don’t like losing. But You’re underground, hiding out. (Chorus) You’ve rained on, you’ve rained on my big parade. You’ve messed up, you’ve messed up this lovely day. If I had you on a plate now, who knows what would happen? But you’re underground, hiding out. (Chorus x2)

Breathe 03:58
I’m buzzing off, buzzing off the pages, it can’t be overstated. I’m diving in, diving into presence, aware of all my senses. Oh, here I go and all I do is breathe air - I let it in, let it out, let it in and everything is right here, in the now, I let it out, let it in. I’m surfing on, surfing on the stillness, it comes in waves of greatness. Yeah what I’ve found, what I’ve found is nameless, it’s so alive & ageless. Oh, here I go. (Chorus) Oh, just breathe in, just breathe in. (x2) (Chorus) (Solo)( Chorus)

The day has come to wise on up, to see five senses are not enough. We’re bigger, so much bigger. What’s deep within you, is deep within me, it’s time to change the frequency. What’s deep within you, is deep within me so turn around & let this fearing go. So get your heads out of the stocks. We can’t keep living in this box. Come on tune in, people tune in. (Chorus) There’s more to us than we’ve been taught to believe. Can’t we just stop & start reading the signs please? The day has come to wise on up. We’re bigger, so much bigger so come on tune in. (Chorus)

Once, when we were the younger, always laughing, lost in wonder at the world; we were born into the light. But then we grew up too fast, left the safe nest for the lights of city life, lost the sense of our own tribe. Now it’s time. Let go of the shore. Surrender to the water. Hear the spirits call: remember what they taught us when they held us in their arms, sweet Oxum and Yemanja. Time became illusion, blind confusion; we made gods of wealth and power, measured life in gold and hours. Memories of flowing, faintest knowings of the joy that once was ours when we swam in what was pure but now it’s time. Let go of the shore, surrender to the water, awaken more and more. Remember what they taught us. When they held us in their arms, sweet Oxum and Yemanja. When they held us in their arms, sweet Oxum and Yemanja. (Chorus)

My life is an open book, will you take a look you can read the story? You will see it that it started fine, though it not all light there’s still time for more and where will the story go? Who’ll be the hero? So lets try to find the Hollywood end with a smile and song, the best of all friends. And each time we laugh in the face of the darkening sky we’ll be fine. So come on take my hand we’ll dance, make a difference, we can weave our own story. Lift our lives, through these changing times, with our hearts and minds filled with joy and glory. Where will we go? We can be the heroes. So lets try to find the Hollywood end with a smile and song, the best of all friends and each time we laugh in the face of the darkening sky, we’ll get high. The lights go on, the wheels are rolling; they record the whole world turning. Life goes on, our love becomes so strong. You know we belong right here. Where will the story go? Who’ll be the hero? I just don’t know (Chorus) Let’s find the Hollywood end (x2) Let’s find a jolly good Hollywood end.

There was something in her eyes that spoke of ships that pass at night, while I held her tight. But I knew, she could have been the one, I thought after she was gone and I was alone in my room, failing to be strong. Can I believe, that it’s me she needs & she’ll fly like a bird & come back home. There’s a whole world to choose from, but anyone else would feel wrong. Will she fly like a bird & come back home? Every night I dream, I see her, dancing in my mind, everything feels right ‘cause I know, she’s taken far away, I wish I’d got down on my knees, begged her: baby please, please don’t leave, ‘cause you feel like family. (Chorus) Solo. (Chorus)

Turn It Down 05:15
There’s no more flow, maxed out, all at zero. The needle’s stuck on red, it’s dead-end now. Time to turn back and soften up the soundtrack. Make a resolution, make it now to turn it down again, hear what’s really there, turn it down. Turn it down again, there’s no-where to go from here, turn it down. There’s more to hear, so introduce a quiet truth inside of you, a truth that your perfection will allow. Down in the depths in what you hear, you won’t believe the beauty there, so make the choice, be still, rejoice in sound. (Chorus) Turn it down again, counting back to one, turning down. Turn it down again, before the final breakdown, turning down. So softly spoken. leave the door wide open’ clear the mind of noise, become aware. No conversation, just gentle liberation, no more isolation or despair. (Chorus) (Chorus B) Turn, turn it down. (x2)

Thaw 07:10
Not a single word from me to disturb this sacred peace. It’s so wonderful to breathe, breathe in this change, the light that bathes inside of me, breathe to this heart and start a brand new page. It so beautiful today; a rainbow smile can now display a golden age, a light parade, with all life in bloom, cascading in its colours, hues of green and blue; the truth renewed today. It’s been a long, long thaw. Now the ice is melting. A long, long thaw, it is radiating with love that’s yours and mine forever. Dancing with love, we dance with our divine. Now life has broken free. It’s what I’d always hoped I’d see. It’s so strong now evergreen. And my doubts seem absurd. The hunger and dependence, no more in this new world now heaven guards this day, and I say (Chorus) It’s been a long, long thaw (x3). Now the ice is melting … in my heart …
