Teachings from the Spirits
The drum carries me beyond this earthly dream.
The drum carries me beyond infinity
To hear teachings from the Spirits.
Compassionate Spirits, show me what's real,
Compassionate Spirits, help me to feel,
Teach me to heal, teach me to heal,
Teach me to heal.
Holy Harmony
We are part of the windswept plain.
We are kin to the great white crane.
Listen with your soul, you can hear it:
Holy harmony
Brother to sky; sister to rain;
All creation flows in our veins: holy harmony.
Pray you're blessed with a willing heart.
Heal the wounds that keep us apart.
Listen with your heart, you can feel it:
Holy harmony
Brother to sky; sister to rain;
All creation flows in our veins: holy harmony
Train your hands to be kind and skilled.
Build a world that sees love fulfilled.
Listen with your hands, you can touch it:
Holy harmony.
Brother to sky; sister to rain;
All creation flows in our veins: holy harmony.
Hone your mind in the search to know.
Let the truth be the seed you sow.
Listen with your mind, you can know it:
Holy harmony
Brother to sky; sister to rain;
All creation flows in our veins: holy harmony.

Mystery
Time flows on in an endless stream
Sweeping us toward our destiny, the long journey's
end -- mystery.
Born of light, stardust in our bones.
Seeking light, spirit calls us home, back to unity --
mystery.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. It
Whispers of caring and sharing and giving.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. The
Universe drawing us, guiding us, showing us
Moonlit night, shining silver bright.
Heron's flight, poetry on high. Beauty calls us
home -- mystery.
Flowers sing bright-hued harmonies.
Sunset paints gleaming tapestries. Beauty calls
us home -- mystery.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. It
Whispers of caring and sharing and giving.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. The
Universe drawing us, guiding us, showing us
Spider spins, weaving symmetry.
Forests sigh, breathing energy. All life does its
part; so can we.
Search your soul, there's no mystery
Born to love, it's our destiny. Pray we do our part --unity.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. It
Whispers of caring and sharing and giving.
Wake up and hear it, the call of the spirit. The
Universe drawing us, guiding us, showing us
Unity, destiny, sacred journey's end -- mystery.
Tree of Life
The tree of life is growing in a garden in the sun.
Her branches kiss the heavens; she's rooted in
the One.
Fruit is given freely for life's need, love renewed
in every single seed.
With our love, we tend you.
With our love, defend you.
Grow in love, grow in love.
Grow in love, grow in love.

You've Known Love
Have you ever watched an eagle in flight?
Have you ever danced alone by moonlight?
Have you kissed your cat good night?
Held your baby tight?
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Did you ever see a cheetah running free?
Did you ever taste a sweet wild strawberry?
Did you ever hug a tree?
Forgive an injury?
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Love's there for the sharing, there for the daring.
If we open our hearts to the moment.

Have you lifted up your voice in gratitude?
Have you changed your point of view?
Had a dream come true?
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Have you listened to the language of the rain?

Felt life sing in your veins?
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Love's there for the sharing, there for the daring.
If we open our hearts to the moment.
Have you ever planted seeds and watched them
grow?
Have you given all you had to meet a goal?
Have you listened to your soul?
Learned wisdom from a blow?
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.
Then you've known love, yes, you've known love.

Heart Like a River
She takes you in with ancient healing eyes,
Looks past your sins, seeking your medicine.
She unveils your secret heart
And takes your hand and shows you where to
start. Love flowing.
Heart like a river, Great Spirit's daughter.
Heart like a river, soul-healing water.
She walks the spirit road,
She brings the sacred home,
She sings the circle whole. Love flowing.
She's eagle sight, wisdom of buffalo,
Bear mother's might, in service to the light.
She honors all creation
And looks unto seven generations. Love flowing.

One Truth
I remember when I first saw the stars
from the desert.
It seemed heaven had reached down out of the sky.
Like a bird my heart spread its wings
and took flight,
A lonely star coming home to the light.
There's no it, there's only us,
All descendants of stardust.
There's one truth that we are life and life is us.
There's no they, there's only we.
There's no separate destiny.
There's one truth that I am you and you are me.
I recall not long ago when the earth shook and
rumbled.
And she woke us from our solitary trance.
For a time the walls that divide us grew thin.
Where we'd seen strangers now we could see kin.
There's no it, there's only us,
All descendants of stardust.
There's one truth that we are life and life is us.
There's no they, there's only we.
There's no separate destiny.
There's one truth that I am you and you are me.
There's an awesome redwood tree
growing tall in the forest.
I have leaned my restless bones against her trunk.
I become her peace, rooted strength, countless
years.
She tells me love is the reason I'm here.
There's no it, there's only us,
All descendants of stardust.
There's one truth that we are life and life is us.
There's no they, there's only we.
There's no separate destiny.
There's one truth that I am you and you are me.

Be a Light
I have longed to know the reason why
We are born into this strife.
I have prayed to know my destiny
And what role to play in life.
Be a light, it's just that simple.
Be a light, it's our birthright.
Be a light, it's what we're here for.
Be a light, let your soul shine.
I have tried to fight my way to love.
I have learned my share through sadness.
I have raised my voice to gods above
Seeking meaning in this madness.
Be a light, it's just that simple.
Be a light, it's our birthright.
Be a light, it's what we're here for.
Be a light, let your soul shine.
I have tried to leave the past behind.
I have tried to buy my way home.
I have sought my answers in the mind,
Though the heart is meaning's true home.
Be a light, it's just that simple.
Be a light, it's our birthright.
Be a light, it's what we're here for.
Be a light, let your soul shine.
Still the peace I sought eluded me,
'Til I finally realized
That the one sure path to harmony
Is to share the love inside.
We are light, it's just that simple.
We are light, it's our birthright.
We are light, it's what we're here for.
We are light, how our souls shine!
I have longed to know the reason why
