Sweet Nectar (The Bee Song)

There is magic in the honey comb
There is magic in the honey comb

It starts with a seed…and then becomes a flower
Along comes a bee and they…dance for hours
There's mystery in between and things we've never felt or seen
And we are learning…ohhhhh……

I sometimes watch flowers…for hours at a time
Knowing that inside them…theirs something sweet and divine…
The bees gather up this sweetness and make a beeline back home
And we are learning…ohhhhh……

that's why the bees; that's why the bees
that's why the bees drink sweet nectar

Wish I was a bee…building a honey comb,
Knowing just what to do…and how to find home.
So freely they express…and live in togetherness
And I am learning…ohhhhh……

I feel like a bee…searching for something sweet,
I'm finding just a little bit in…everyone I meet.
There's perfect orchestration in this crazy crazy crazy world
And am learning…ohhhhhh….

that's why the bees; that's why the bees
that's why the bees drink sweet nectar

They work all together in symmetrical bliss
There's something we humans can surely learn from this
And they hum, and they build a sweet honey comb
And they drone, and they build the sweetest of homes,

And their cup runneth over into my cup
and their cup runneth over into my cup
Let's follow the bees and find our way home
ohhhhh…

Let's make a home; let's make a home
Let's make a home made of sweet nectar

Queen of the Sun

Queen of the Sun - Audio

Queen of the sun
Queen of the hive
Her love alone keeps us alive

Queen of the hive
Queen of the sun
Brings love and light for everyone

So why now am I spinning
So uncontrollably though space
Such amazing grace
Sucha a beautiful face

So why now am I spinning
So uncontrollably though space
Such a sacred sound
Rapture on the way up
Liberation on the way down.

Queen of the sun
Queen of the hive
Her love alone keeps us alive

Queen of the hive
Queen of the sun
Brings love and light for everyone

Green Carpet

Green Carpet - Audio

See what grows when you let it grow wild.
See what grows when you set it free.
Who's walking on her green carpet?
Who's cutting her limbs down?
She's reaching 'cause she's trying to feed you air.

Go talk to her,
Go walk with her,
Go hold that woman's hand.
Go walk with her,
Go talk to her,
She is the promise land.

Liberation

Liberation - Audio

Hold tightly to nothing…and it will all be yours
Let go of the reins…in your mind
Seek not the answers…and you will find them

Come into the fields, come into the mountains
Come into the fields, come into the mountains

Deny yourself no journey
Trust in the eyes of reason
And dance...
in every season, in every season

Come into the fields, Come into the mountains
Come into the fields, Come into the mountains

Resist only that which takes away your sight
Free your life of anger
Follow that silent calling that you've ignored
Read not just the book but the body

Lay down your sword

Give thanks to the Mother Earth
Give thanks to the Father Sun
Give thanks to the plants in the garden
Where the Mother and Father are one.

And again I say Give Thanks.

Soulmates

Soulmates - Audio

If I were a river I would run to you tonight
If I were an ocean I would meet you at the shore
If I were a home darlin' I would meet you at the door

but I'm only human this time around
and I won't be flying until I find my ground
but I know how to build
and I know how to weave
and what I lack in skill
I make up for 'cause I believe

I believe this is more sacred
than I have ever know
and that we can build together
what we can not build alone

and I know there will be times
when we might not get along
but if we can get back to this moment
we'll be back where we belong

in that quiet place
in that peaceful calm
in those moments when we don't have to move at all
cause there's nothing to move beyond

and just like the mountain's communion with the sun
and where the greens of the forest and the blue skies become one
there's something so amazing when two become one

Bow to your Heart

Bow to your Heart - Audio

Bow to your heart
Lighten your mind
Breathe in the light
and let your heart-light shine

Listen to your heart
Feel it beat in time
Walk peacefully and let your heart-light shine
Walk prayerfully and let your soul-light shine
Walk peacefully and prayerfully
And let your whole light shine.

All Right Here

All Right Here - Audio

I used to live on a mountain,
With winding roads and weathered streams,
I'd wander through the woods,
And contemplate my dreams.

Would it be love,
Would it be more prayer,
Would it be, one day I'm gonna make it out of here.

I remember those days alone,
I was kind of lonely but I was free to roam,
I'm not sure what I was searching for,
But all it took was an open door, and I'd be born again.

Would it be love,
Would it be more prayer,
Would it be, one day I'm gonna make it out of here.

It is all right here,
It is alright here.
It just takes a little bit…
Now I live on a southern stream,
I'm not lonely and I live my dream,
I've got love and I've got prayer,
And it's inside of me, and it's not out there.

It's not the mountain,
It's not the prayer,
It's not the light you will find out there.

It is all right here,
It is alright here.
It just takes a little bit…

Lessons in Flight

Lessons in Flight - Audio

There were days when I had no food
But I knew I'd eat again
I tried to think about how far I'd come
And not what I didn't have right then

I trained my mind to see the good
Though I wasn't quite sure why
But I understood what I had to do
And I knew one day I'd fly

And I know one day you will fly too
If you use these gifts that were given to you

There were days that it wasn't clear
What dear Lord am I doing here?
I work so hard to get it right
But it's sometimes hard to see the light

And I know one day you will fly too
If you use these gifts that were given to you

We get signs all the time
Clear directions from the divine
But we're all too busy, we're all too blind
So if you close your eyes and rest your mind
It will all be clear, just give it time

So everything that comes to you
The good and bad that you go through
These days are making you stronger

Harvest

Harvest - Audio

Let's light a candle.
Let's celebrate this peace we're feeling,
Finally, we've all come home.

Everybody's free,
Everybody's fed,
The harvest came and
Light was spread throughout the land.

Looks like we've made it back to base again.
So nice to see your shining face again.
Finally, we've all come home.

Everybody's free,
Everybody's fed,
The harvest came and
Light was spread throughout the land.

Let's light a candle.
And keep the flame aglow.
We'll carry this flame wherever we go.

Everybody's free,
Everybody's fed,
The harvest came and
Light was spread throughout the land.

Everybody's free,
Everybody's fed,
The harvest came and
Light was spread throughout the land.

Timelessness

Timelessness - Audio

Gone now your doctrines of time,
I have shed your calculations,
Space now is mine to fill.

I am far beyond your chiseled days,
Uninterrupted continuums of bliss,
An ever clear abyss.

And it feels so good to be on my way.

Gone now your doctrines of time,
We have shed your calculations,
Space now is ours to fill.

We are far beyond your chiseled days,
Uninterrupted continuums of bliss,
An ever clear abyss.

And it feels so good to be on my way.

And it feels so good to have found the ones
Who want to take the slow way; down a country road, on a riverboat.

On my way, to my lover's arms
where it all comes together.
On my way, to my lover's lips
where it all comes together.
On my way, to my lover's heart
where it all comes together.

And it feels so good to be on my way.

Together

Together - Audio

I will hold it together for both of us for a while brother
both of us for a while, till you get yourself together
'cause I know the man and I remember the child
and I dreamed the same dream of being free and wild

and I will not stop believing
and I will not stop dancing
and I will not stop singing until your spirit returns

I will hold it together for both of us for a while sister
both of us for a while, until you get yourself together
'cause I know the woman and I remember the child
and I dreamed the same dream of being free and wild

and I will not stop believing
and I will not stop dancing
and I will not stop singing until your spirit returns

can you smell the smoke in the winter air
can you see the light shining right over there
we're going to make it, to the fire
we're going to make it up that hill
this is not the end of our journey
this is a test of our will

and I will not stop believing until everyone's believing
and I will not stop dancing until everybody's dancing
and I will not stop singing until everybody's singing
and I will not stop breathing until everybody's breathing

Foundation

Foundation - Audio

I just need someone to listen, someone to understand,
Someone to interpret as I figure out my plan,
'cause my mind starts working overtime, my head begins to spin,
And although it appears as though I'm lost, I'm just looking for a place to dig in.

Every farmer knows that a crop only grows
When its roots are deep in the land,
Every architect begins at the base of the building
Though her blueprints are tall and grand.

I've been gathering information, It's all inside my head
And I've just a few more ideas to write down before I go to bed,
I've been studying the landscape, observing the sky,
Picking up the pieces of this vision before they synthesize.

Every farmer knows that a crop only grows
When its roots are deep in the land,
Every architect begins at the base of the building
Though her blueprints are tall and grand.

Every farmer knows that a crop only grows
When its roots are deep in the land,
Every architect begins at the base of the building
Though her blueprints are tall and grand.

Before it is ever written,
Before it is set in stone,
Before one lover meets the other
Each must walk alone.

Total Immersion

Total Immersion - Audio

Be at one with the ocean, be at one with the force.
Worry you not its just par for the course.
It takes time to see, it takes time to feel.
'Cause when you're raised in illusion it's so hard to see what's real.

It's total immersion in the good life.
Its total immersion in the rhythm and song
And what you thought was missing was there all along.

So give all your love to it.

What is real? Hear the soil.
What is real? Hear the seed.
What is real? Hear the sunshine.
Which leads me, let it lead you.

Immerse yourself in the flow.
Feel the waves come and go.
Live the life you wish to lead.

And give all your love to it.
