The Cold 02:56
lyrics

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 04:41
lyrics

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 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
lyrics

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
