Refuse To Be Afraid

Why is it we’re hated so We’re stunned to see what we’ve come to know It’s a time bomb, and it’s ready to explode Could it be the arrogance – we feel we’re above the rest Greed driven power brings us to this test Let’s not use our government of might To spread misery and fright Let us use our nation so bright To spread solutions of light Hate only begets hate We can choose another way By refusing to be afraid Refuse to be afraid I know it’s hard not to sway With the anger and outrage To want to blame and retaliate But stop to think what it means Nothing now can change what’s happened There’s more going on here then there seems You can love your life You can know you’ll die You can act in kindness Towards those your life passes by

Finite Time

The time is finite and it’s showing The importance of change is ever growing Can’t continue on this fearful course It’s a queasy set up for remorse It’s not too late to be your highest It’s not too late to be your brightest Be your loving mightiest Chorus Please stop the correcting and contradicting Change the tone to one of kindness and respect Focus on support and true compassion Healing appreciation will be the reaction Forgive yourself first, let love heal the hurt Forgive them next, this is forgiveness Talk to them without payback Without blame for the pain You must, you must let all that go What’s left is precious time you know To empower another only makes us stronger To empower another only makes us stronger To empower another only makes us stronger This is unconditional love put to the test This is unconditional love put to the test This is unconditional love put to the test This is unconditional love put to the test

You Don’t Have To Go

There you resist Like a boulder in the rapids Overwhelmed by gushing water Rushing all around you I wonder if that rigidness Is serving you so well Do you like where you life is Or does it just feel like hell Bridge: Choose a different path A different plan of action Choose a different path One with satisfaction Chorus: You don’t have to go there You don’t have to go You know you must surrender Surrender to the flow You don’t have to go there You don’t have to go You know you must surrender Surrender to the flow Deep in your darkness Permeating energy Flashing all that anger Directed at me Using blame to abdicate Your responsibility I work hard not to take this So personally And at the moment That you let go When you’re dancing with your life force When you’re dancing with the flow With nothing to cling onto Your source begins to show Only you can escape this Believe in what you know

Modify Your Dreams

Standing in the kitchen The five of us waiting for pizza He pops out of nowhere I have news good and bad to share First the good is I’ve made a recovery The bad is an illness with it’s grip on me It’s a terminal discovery The three of us who hadn’t a clue Stepped into shock, a gray shade of blue What does this mean and What’s the extreme and How will this affect all your dreams The wife she did sigh Her muffled terror denied Chorus: You have been given a chance to know of your end To still useless clatter To make right now matter To see what is truly important to you Modify your dreams and make them come true Modify and live what’s important to you The details of that night ever etched in my mind The lighting, the smells, The waves turned to swells But now that I’ve had the time and the space I see an opportunity for grace Lot’s of choices still to be made We all know that one day we’ll end There’s birth and there’s living And then there is death We all know that one day we’ll end

Communications Collide

She exists in the dull pale Of her melancholy Love in strength for so many Love so weak for herself He lives in expectation Always braced for the worst Unaware his fears defined Leave the best case behind Chorus: Communications collide Heartbreak turns to apathy Passion has faded and died Little understanding alive She hears criticism He hears attack Communications collide Communications collide She longs for a true sense of worth Of her importance Somehow it just eludes her Chilling her view, now set and skewed He seeks reconciliation Finally willing to glimpse his part His past illusions for survival Hoping for a love revival Bridge: He can’t fix her She can only fix herself And she can’t change him Only he can choose to change Unconditional love we must feel this for ourselves Unconditional love we must feel this for ourselves

State Of Fear

Do we really want to raise our children in fear Is that the only way we can think to keep them near And what’s the message that they hear Do we really want our children to live in fear It’s our responsibility to protect them But they will suffocate if we don’t let them try They were born to soar, they want to fly And who knows what they’ll choose When you don’t get to decide Chorus: Do we really want to raise our kids In a state of fear In a country of paranoia In a world of pain In such a reality there doesn’t seem much to gain No wonder we feel blessed to just remain sane We’ve got to find the way of hope and trust So our kids can know the way of joy and bliss We can go beyond fear to trust in the knowing That love is the energy of the universe It’s us Love is the energy of the light And all happens as it must And all happens as it must Whether we choose fear or trust And all happens as it must Whether we choose fear or love

For A Ride

Don’t wait to feel confident Before you proceed Gather and create the minimum you need Then do it, just go there Let your faith take a leap Surrender to the landing Be in the love and that’s what you’ll reap Find a purpose to serve That works with your passion Listen for your call Try different things until it happens Then take it and be the best The best that you can be With love as your guide You’re in for a ride With love as your guide You’re in for a ride It seems we all are searching Searching for our light Looking for our meaning and our reason why Maybe we should call off the search Then see what turns up What moves us to love Let that define what we are made of Bridge: This ride will take me places I can’t even imagine Give me grace and give me kindness Most of all give me open-mindness

Everything Is Opportunity

To me everything is opportunity This is the vision I strive to see A way to objectively Understand this changing land Truth’s higher laws Reveal present flaws Truth’s higher laws Reveal Love’s true cause Darkness just can’t take hold When even a tiny flame’s so bold I’m always searching for the light I want to bask in its shining sight The law of attraction Helps me step into my action Blessed Divine Unconditional Love Helps me overcome fear and it gives me a shove

A Confusing Place

You fight so unfair It seems like you don’t care You refuse to share Afraid, you’d not dare To let out the venom that festers towards me But I can feel it, I can see You hold in the venom that festers towards me Slowly, simmering, seething Chorus: And how does one deal With pretending, not real When I feel the truth You deny any part of it Firm in your resolve That somehow you’re not involved It comes right back to me A confusing place to be So here we are same distressing scene Where we’ve both been, we’ve both been You don’t want to go there And neither do I But if we don’t go somewhere, we’ll surely divide We just replay this depressing scene, And I’m drowning in this lonely dream Bridge: I hope someday you’ll open Though maybe you won’t So I’ll trust in the truth to deal with you And I’ll carry on I can always escape By singing my songs Creating this way

Your Truth Still Calls

This is the story of a woman named Jo She carried her baggage and everyone’s load It was dragging her down Down a deep dark hole She thought she was helping But she was killing herself Jo harbored the illusion That she could just deny her needs She could sacrifice her dreams It was right to put all before she It was her duty she felt The weighty cards she was dealt Chorus: You see, Jo, you can’t take it all When you try to bear another’s weight They’ll never learn to stand tall But look to you to take their fall And you suffocate with the needs That only they can meet and In the end your truth still calls And Jo could live on in her dramas They helped distract from her source She always felt this strong sense of fear Whenever thoughts of her came near Jo, you’d be surprised what you’d hear A melody that’s really sweet and clear Your truth is waiting for you And always there for you to choose Just go inside and take a look Your truth is the love that is you

Believing

There’s magic in the mystery In all the intangibles I can’t see I use them to guide and assist me To comprehend the opportunities Believing That leap of faith Remembering The feeling of truth Keep in focus As I pursue my dreams Believing everything is as It’s meant to be The trick I’ve discovered Lies in what I’ve recovered In experiences coming my way I’ve changed my approach I won’t let negative encroach Faith is living truth and love every day, every way Bridge Believing and knowing Without always understanding Using truth, love and win-win And gratitude I begin
