When Peace is Within lyrics

Verse 1
The challenge of being peace is we are only human
Living is duality peace comes hard when you’re fuming
I’ve realized it’s all drama, drama I can choose to avoid
Could I ever be the Dalai Lama? It’s hard not to get annoyed
Still that’s who I’d like to be, there’s God inside you and me

Chorus
When Peace is Within
Peace is about
Peace is about being, peace

Verse 2
The joy of being peace is living a life without stress
When all judgment is ceased we’re free to give our best
Each day is filled with joy of living life to its fullest
There’s no need to be coy when each next moment’s the coolest
That’s who I’d like to be, with joy in the heart of me

Chorus 2x

Bridge
Finding peace is a labor of love
Making peace there’s not enough of
Being peace is where it all starts
When loving peace is what’s in our hearts

Chorus 2x

Wake Up! (to love and laugh) lyrics

Slow Intro
Sleep walking humans, unaware of their power
Living troubled lives in uncountable number
Little joy, small love, no hope
Sleepwalking humans your life can change
Awaken to the same world, but now it’s strange
You’ll find great joy, Big love! Awesome Hope!

Wake Up!

Verse 1
Wake up to love and laugh, Wake up with joy and clap
The time will come soon, when we’ll get a clue
and we will wake up from our nap.
Wake up from doubt and fear, wake up cynics and hear.
What you believe determines what you perceive,
love and beauty are really that near.
Wake up to sustainability, make oneness our sensibility.
Let’s our lives rearrange to be part of the change
This world is our responsibility

Chorus A
Wake up to love and laugh, wake up with joy and clap
It’s not that hard to do, it’s beautiful world to wake up to
Wake up and open your eyes and you’ll see the All loves you.

Verse 2
Wake up to Peace on Earth, wake up to your purpose of birth.
Let’s our lives rearrange to be part of the change,
so all people can know their worth.
Wake up to awareness of all, wake and hear God’s call.
To come together as one with all of creation
and that’s what we should exalt.
Wake up to love and laugh, wake up with joy and clap.
In time man will bloom and sing a beautiful tune
once we’re on a wakened path

Chorus A

Chorus B
Wake up to love and sing, our great awakening
and land where love rules now, only we can figure out how,
to just open our hearts to God’s love all surrounding

Verse 3
As more of us awake, some will react with hate
but let this be clear, that reaction’s just fear
more violence would be a mistake

Chorus A + B

We Are One lyrics

Verse 1
Oneness is the feeling you can touch a mountain in the distance
Oneness is the knowing when a loved one needs help
Oneness is feeling empathy for all people in existence
The horrible, the wonderful, the poor and the wealth
God made is all in so many colors and creeds
To hear the calls of our sisters and brothers in need

Chorus
We are one
We are one
We are one with all that is.

Verse 2
Oneness is accepting each other’s human flaws
Oneness sees an angel where the mind places blame
Every circumstance of our lives we have caused
Every life has its joys and every life has its pains
the divine in me honors the divine in you
The oneness in me honors your oneness too

Chorus 2x

We Love Mother Earth lyrics

Verse 1
I love the rocks and I love the trees
I love the sun, the clouds and the breeze
I love the beach and I love the sand
I love the mountains and I love flat lands
but we’ve been unfair to our planet.
Our selfish thinking I just don’t understand it.

Chorus
Let us Honor our Home
Planet of our birth
Call it Gaia or third stone
We Love Mother Earth, We Love Mother Earth

Verse 2
Nature loves us, can we honor her
Can we clean our air and make our water pure
It starts with you and it starts with me.
So let’s take responsibility
Follow your heart our earth is small
Let’s live right this is your call

Chorus

Bridge
Reduce recycle,.. honor Gaia, save our planet, every little bit helps
We all can do our part, to honor Gaia and save ourselves

Verse 3
Saving the world means saving the nation
You could call it self preservation
We’ve got share and we’ve got to care
It helps to intend to live our lives fair
Business will follow the consumer’s lead
What you buy is a message they’ll heed

Chorus 2x, modulate up a whole step to Chorus 4x
outtro improvisation
Honor Gaia, planet of our birth, Gaia – third stone, We love you Mother Earth

This Bag is Just So Heavy lyrics

Verse 1
It’s all in there, it’s all in there, all my hopes and fears
Every challenge, every dare, all my laughter and my tears
My bag contains regrets, some real and some imagined
It’s the mission I accept, though some days leave me saddened.

Chorus
This bag is just so heavy, it’s really a challenge to lift
Don’t know if I’ll ever be ready, to let go of this wonderful gift

Verse 2
Sometimes you know, sometimes you know
I don’t feel strong, and I don’t know, no I don’t know what I might do wrong
Sometimes it’s all I can do to put one foot in front of the other
Yet that gradually changes the view, as the miles add to one a other.

Chorus

Bridge
I know who I am and what I want to say
I’ve no choice but to keep trying
I know that I can and I’ll work every day
Even if I’m the only one buying

This Bag is just so heavy

Verse 3
My direction is a dream, I don’t know will ever come true
I just point into the stream, of life flowing through
We can only do our best and keep the dream a goal
With luck we’ll achieve success, but the years still take their toll

Final Chorus
