    1. Living Tree (Part 1)

      There was a sacred lady soul inspired
      Who felt that every child should know how to love
      So daily laid a trail of light that clearly followed close
      Yet no one really understood that you, you loved the most
      Learning to love, learning to love again Learning to love yourself
      Know that the wheels are turning 'round
      To show you every step
      We dance around the living tree
      And love is what we get
      Learning to dance, learning to dance again Learning to dance again
      There was a sacred man who sailed the seven lives
      He would ask this question, always on his mind
      He would sing for secret wording, searching for the words to say
      Sing at the perfect meeting, part of life in every where
      Living in the living tree
      Living in the learning Living in the living tree
      Living in the learning
      In the pages that you sing your song again
      You will write yourself a life
      In the book that comes with every tale
      You will realize

    2. Morning Star

      Speak to feel the breath of everlife
      Where were you this morning star?
      When I needed you the most
      Where's the answer through the door
      Where are you, my future days?
      Breaking all the rules of life
      Where are you? Let truth be told
      When I'm needing you the most
      Breaking all the rules
      Stop that game of youth
      Zooming out the door, sick and tired of this
      Stop this getting cold
      Where are you that mystic voice?
      When I need there strength of truth
      There the signs are getting strong
      What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?
      Catch that deeper spell
      Full of hope and life
      Stop them breeding hate
      Let them see the light
      So remember how the perfect day was ready
      How millions chased the greeting of that perfect day
      For all the calling out, the steady dream implanted
      On days remembered yet the path, it still remains
      The path, it still remains, the path, it still remains
      The path, it still remains, the path, it still remains
      Yes, the path, it still remains
      Speak to feel the breath of everlife, everlife
      Everlife, ever lying love, ever lying love, ever lying love
      Ever lying love
      And the more we see the world as one
      [Incomprehensible] but regained
      To the question, there's the answer
      There is hope in every day
      Be the beacon to eternal youth
      Be the voice of all you see
      Be the answer to the question
      Knowing this eternally
      We are tuning to the Heavens
      We the song, we the truth
      As the more resounding point of love
      Is sent to do 'round you
      The more the echo every sound is settled around you
      There you are, my morning star When I'm needing you the most There's the answer to the door Here we are, our future selves
      Change this space of truth in every life Change this space of truth in every life

    3. House Of Freedom



      Don't aspire to chain me down
      Caught in my ever knowledge to release
      All I need to hear is that truth is found
      Take to my ever reason to believe
      Knowing that it truly has come true All this goodness flowing All this goodness flowing
      Open the power of my wings, fly away
      Go tend the clouds of the moment
      Should it be like the voices of every dream
      Should it be like the voices of everything coming true
      All aspire to break the chains
      Most of the pressure leaves me truly liked
      Sure, the stars can surely guide us right
      Hoping with every promise open eyes
      Truly say, knowing that we can make a stand
      Go strong, we stamp on every song
      Clear to make the better days more than we have ever know
      All the answers coming in the house of freedom All the answers coming
      Oh, aspire to become the giver light
      Let me begin by showing how we share
      Hold me closer, let us make it right
      Hold to the knowledge that we really care, this night
      Truly, truly this love, truly, truly this love Open the power of my wings, fly away
      Go tend the clouds of the moment
      Shall I be like the voices of every dream
      Should it be twice the voices of everything coming true
      Truly, truly in the love of life
      Living in the house of freedom, let it shine
      Truly, truly in the love of life
      Living in the house of freedom, let it shine, let it shine
      Truly, truly, truly




    4. Living Tree (Part 2)



      We are the master class of all we receive
      We are the branches of the truth, the living tree
      Know that this truth is strong and clear
      We are the master class of all we will be
      We are the master class of the living tree
      There is a sacred path we close to your dreams
      Each step you take will help your heart to be free
      And like the sacred lady talked about the trail of light
      Knowing that there always will be that special way to shine your light
      Learning to love, learning to love again Learning to love yourself
      So in reaching out to learn the understanding
      Be the perfect truth
      Action speaks, the words of wisdom calling
      Ever to be you
      Living in the living tree
      Living in the learning Living in the living tree

    5. Anyway And Always

      It takes more life close to Heaven
      More than I realized
      The easiest thing to remember
      Your soul will never die
      Please do receive what you get there
      Between the letting go
      I always find what I'm after
      It's all I need to know
      And then these words so incredible
      To finally find the truth
      When all along they are telling you
      It is you, inside you
      So we reach a level to be seen
      Speak your truth into the universe
      Know there is a way of getting there
      Anyway, anyway and always
      You write your feelings on your heart
      To receive that final dancing
      You realize there's a light of love
      Let it shine from you
      Moving fast, be strong, be better now
      Speak your truth into the universe
      Know there is a way of getting there
      Anyway, anyway and always
      Anyway and always
      Then you'll finally tell me You remember the signs You remember the signs
      For all be better, future be clear
      'Cause all the days go by
      For life be better, future be clear
      'Cause you will testify
      And when you do
      They'll sing to you
      And let you be the one
      Believe in you You are everything you want to be You are everything you want to be
      You want to be


    6. 23/24/11

      Spoke about it twenty four days ago
      Talked about it twenty three years away
      Asked about it, never to be lost again
      That feeling of emotion
      He sang about it twenty days long ago
      Heard about it, nineteen everlasting wars
      Though about it twenty six times a day
      That feeling of destruction
      No one could ever rely on the words of the truth
      In the battlefield
      Someone is there through the time of events
      They will speak your name, sing your voice
      Speak, they will shine, they will sing in your heart
      Never let it be, never let it sing
      Let it reach, always the song for you
      In the darkness there's always a song for you
      So they wrote a book about it saying really many times
      And no one ever talks about it till they come alive
      Always to be known as the ones that changed the course
      I see them demonstrating everywhere, believe this is happening
      Truth is always going to be strong
      Changing our thoughts of war
      In the darkness, changing our thoughts of war
      So he wants the truth and the good in every soldier Coming on unbroken in the battle for the cause
      They will show that each will be given the freedom that comes
      With a heavy load and other lives and other dreams
      Wounded inside, lost forever
      Twenty three, twenty four, eleven
      So he wrote it down
      Twenty three days, twenty four minutes, eleven hours
      And I'll be gone and gone out of this
      Desolate place, this desolate waste
      We are the first generation to know
      That more really doesn't relieve
      It just breaks the song clearly around us everyday
      Twenty three, twenty four, eleven
      Twenty three, twenty four, eleven

    7. Forever

      No one could ever love the way that you love
      No one could ever give the way that you give
      No one could ever hold me the way that you hold me
      To speak of wisdom come within the second wonder of With all the power divine, it reaches in my senses
      So chase this personal lust to knowing it will get to you Just let it shake your heart so all will be revealed
      Straight for the deeper love given
      Straight for the very song Straight for the deeper love given
      So many dances reaching to the second wonder of
      She gives me soul reflection, I see it in my everyday
      Which ones who kindle and aspire to re-continue
      Who redesign their hearts so all will be revealed
      Straight for the deeper love given
      Straight for the very song
      Straight for the deeper love given
      So everyone will see it, so everyone will feel it
      No one could ever love the way that you love
      No one could ever give the way that you give
      No one could ever hold me the way that you hold me
      Knowing that I'd be yours, knowing that I'd be yours
      Forever, forever
      Show me your moonlight, show me your sunlight Without them we are nothing, nothing
      No one could ever love the way that you love, you get it No one could ever give the way that you give, you see it
      No one could ever hold me the way that you hold me
      Knowing that I would be there with the most important life
      Knowing that you would be mine, knowing that you will be mine
      Forever, forever, forever and a day
      No one could ever love me the way that you love me No one could ever give the way that you give to me

    8. Garden

      I'm planting in the garden, I'm moving to the center
      I know the sun will shine on today
      Your love is like a piougher. it gives so much attention
      You move your heart to make my whole day
      Knowing that you are the sun in my life
      Making rainbows alive there with love in your heart
      And if I ever could be alive with love emotion
      I really would believe I would say
      I'm planting in the garden. I'm moving to the center
      I know the sun will shine on today
      My deepest fear is not that we're nothing
      My deepest fear is knowing that we are beautiful
      Amazing and true
      So if you really ask me the questions that will come through I always will believe in. in you
      So everytime I listen. I'm planting in the garden
      Knowing that the flowers will grow
      Just like in every raindrop, it needs to greet the sunshine
      It needs to know that you love it so
      I'm planting in the garden. I'm moving to the center I'm planting in the garden. I'm moving to the center

    9. Just One Man

      Who would've believed a Man could do so much?
      Who would've believed the millions He would touch?

      Who could believe in the dreams left and spoken?
      Who could believe in the dreams yet to come? Who could believe that one man had this promise To share this love of life, to share this love of life
      Savior of all that is true to us
      Savior of all of our dreams
      Savior of all that is good for us
      Just one Man, just one Man
      Who would believe one Man had this promise?
      Who would believe that one Man could be strong?
      Knowing how we wanted to understand
      How did we belong
      Who would believe one Man gave His reason?
      Who would one Man sang the song?
      Knowing how we wanted to realize
