The Cold
02:56
|

In the thick of winter
The cold crept in so slow
I didn’t see it coming
Sucked down by the undertow
Now I’m shaking and I’m wet
With tears and disbelief
I surrender to this water
In the throws of grief
I let go, I let go, I let go and I surrender
I let go, I let go, I let go and I surrender
There is no way to know
If or how or when
I’ll heal from this pain
And begin again
For now I let it take me
Down into the deep
Harvesting what’s here
Holding dear what’s mine to keep
And I let go, I let go, I let go and I surrender
I let go, I let go, I let go and I surrender

Oh Mama Mama

When you’re trying so hard to figure it all out
That’s when you know it’s time to lay it down on the ground
When you get all stuck up in your head
You know that’s the time to lay your mind to rest
Chorus:
Oh mama mama, guide my way
Oh papa papa, I pray and I pray
Oh sister sister, hold my hand
Oh brother brother, help me take my stand
Then you look around see the trees and the sky
Listen to the birds singing songs so high
Look at the doggy walking down the street
He just walks his walk guided by his own feet
Chorus
The Mystery is calling
Gently it beckons to me
Sometimes it shouts and it screams
It sings to me, everyday I’m listening
Opening to hear what is meant for me
Chorus
Than you ask the one within and all around
You know this body’s temporary and you’re Spirit bound
So when you’re feeling lost, don’t know where to step next
Lay it on the Lord, because the Lord knows best
Chorus
When the people talk and try to tell you who to be
Just look em’ in the eye, say “only I can be me”
Great Spirit’s got a vision gonna set me free
Yeah!
Chorus
Oh mama mama, guide me guide me
Oh papa papa, stand beside me
Oh sister sister, help me reach
Oh brother brother, my higher self

Waves

Waves waves wash over me
Waves waves wash over me
Carry my troubles away
Won’t try to hang on
Won’t try to stay put
I’m gonna let these waves
Do their work
Won’t dig my heals in
Right where they are
I’m gonna let these waves
Carry me far
Waves waves wash over me
Waves waves wash over me
Carry my troubles away
When those waves come
They may knock you down
Rough you up and toss you around
Don’t be afraid to get soaking wet
Where those waves are taking you
Is better yet
Waves waves wash over me
Waves waves wash over me
Carry my troubles away
Surrender to
The force that comes
To cleanse and renew
I give it all up
I give it to you
I trust completely
Devour me so I can be set free
From what no longer serves me
Waves waves wash over me
Devour me
And carry my troubles away
Waves waves wash over me
Waves waves wash over me
Carry my troubles away

After the Winter
04:45
|

After the winter the spring comes
Do not fear the falling of the leaves
Death makes way for the new life
Set it free and believe
CHORUS:
Life the new life
Sprouts from the ashes
Life the new life
Comes once the winter passes
Yes the birds will sing again
But we need the silence too
The old must fall away
So we can birth the new
CHORUS
Look to nature to guide you
To remember what is true
And there is a wisdom inside you
Ready waiting to break through
CHORUS

Amplifier of Goodness

It’s a great day to be me
Nowhere else I’d rather be
Than right here inside my own body
It’s a great day to play
Every day’s a chance to say
Hallelujah I’m alive!
I’m alive
Gonna have some fun each day
Gonna make sure I remember to play
Every single day, every single day
Because joy joy joy
Is who I am am am
And I am love love love
I am pulling it down from above and I am
Soaking it up through my feet
And I’m letting it grow in me
Then I send it out I… I send it out I…
I’m an amplifier of goodness oh
I’m an amplifier of… good good good good
I’m an amplifier of goodness
I’m an amplifier of good good good
I’m an amplifier of good good juicy goodness
Yum yum yum this life is so sweet
And I just love being me
I just love being me, I just love loving me
Oooh
As the sun hits my skin
I soak it in, I soak it in
And I feel it burning
I feel my fire burning in me
It’s a drive it’s a drive to live this life
In total alignment
With that which makes me feel
So so good so so good
I just wanna feel good
All the time, I knew I would
If I just start to sing this song
Oh sing along with me
Sing I feel good and free
I feel good and free, I feel good and free
And I love being me
Oh I love being me oh
Nowhere else I’d rather be than right here
Right inside this very body
Oh, wawawa, aahoooo
Ahhh ahhh, ayayayay tatatatata…
Oh this life it is so juicy sweet
It is just made for me by my design
Yes I make my life with what I think about
And what I do and what I say
And what I believe and how I pray
Yes I’m making my life by design each day
And I make my life so fun
Because I wanna feel good
All the time all the time all the time all the time
I just want you, I just want you
I just want you to feel this so so good good too
Ohh yeahhh
Cuz joy joy joy is who I am am am
And I am love love love I am
Pulling it down from above and I am
Soaking it up through my feet
And I’m letting it grow in me
Then I send it out I, I send it out I…
I’m an amplifier of goodness oh
I’m an amplifier of good good good good
I’m an amplifier of goodness
I’m an amplifier of good good good
Joy joy joy is who I am am am
And I am love love love I am…
Joy joy joy is who I am am am
And I am love love love I am…
