    1. New State Of Mind

      Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
      Staring at the golden heights, wondering are you ready for the climb

      Are you ready for this?
      Are you ready for that?
      Will you take the chance?
      Well you've got the time? If you're ready to believe it, treasure you'll find
      Don't mistake the chance, focus your eyes
      When you're ready to receive it, fear's left behind
      A new perspective
      A new state of mind

      Always on the edge of what could be the greatest moment in this life
      Watching as the theme builds, left only to wonder in delight

      You've got to let it go
      Wanting to feel
      There's no reason for deceiving
      To a new perspective
      A new state of mind You've got to let yourself believe in all that can be
      Wanting to feel just what it means to be free
      There's no reason for deceiving, focus your eyes

      Sometimes you feel you want to run away from it all
      Sometimes you hear the voices of the past come to call
      But there's no giving up when you are giving it your all

      Hoping, forgiving and loving, the qualities of life
      Designing the future we're building, the dreams taking flight

      Are you ready for love ?...............................................................

      A new state of mind

      Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
      Reaching for the golden heights without a doubt you're ready for the climb

      You've got to set it out
      No escaping
      There's a reason for your being
      You've got to set yourself believing and fortunes you'll find
      No escaping once you've made up your mind
      There's a reason for your being, focus your eyes
      To a new perspective
      A new state of mind

    2. Open Your Eyes

      You've got a great imagination
      We carry on in the same old way no lesson learned from yesterday
      Talk of changes lost in pages of paper work

      I believe it
      I've received it
      I believe that
      How can we refuse to see
      What could be our final destiny
      Still we go on from day to day knowing what could be true
      Wish I knew..........Wish I knew

      Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
      In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come

      Open your eyes
      You've got a great imagination

      We cast the world, we set the stage for what could be the darkest age
      Short exchanges form perfect strangers we'll never know
      But wish we knew

      I believe that
      I've received it
      I believe it
      It's time to face reality
      Questioning the powers that be
      Are we too confused to see
      Wish I knew..........Wish I knew

      Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
      In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come

      Open your eyes
      You've got a great imagination
      Show it..........show it
      I believe it It's time to face reality
      I've received it Things aren't what they used to be
      I believe that What I see in you, you see in me
      Wish I knew..........Wish I knew

      Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
      In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come
      Change is gonna come..........You've got a great imagination

      You've got a great imagination
      You've got a sweet imagination
      You've got a deep imagination coming
      Open your eyes
      Show it .....show it .....show it .....

    3. Universal Garden

      Looking up into the endless sky, staring into the maze of time
      Our existence caught in the blink of an eye
      Imagining other worlds we try
      Realizing somehow we're all part of this
      Wondrous cosmical tapestry

      Beyond the sun..........Beyond the sky
      Are where the real questions lie
      Wanting to know where it begins
      The puzzle piece we are missing
      Starlight..........Flowering
      Endlessly through the universal garden..........garden above

      Looking up into the endless sky..................... Through space and time
      Staring into the maze of time.......................... We'll fly
      Our existence caught in the blink of an eye..... Retracing years
      Imagining other worlds we try........................ No fears
      Realizing somehow we're all part of this......... Blazing a new trail
      Wondrous cosmical tapestry

      Beyond the sun..........Beyond the sky
      Are where the real questions lie
      Wanting to know where it begins
      The puzzle piece we are missing
      Starlight..........Flowering
      Endlessly through the universal garden..........garden above

      Investigate the science of illusion, we benefit without knowing
      Our time is man-made, our fear is man-made, delusion man-made, religion man-made
      Love is forever flowering endlessly through the universal garden.....garden above

      Beyond the sun..........Beyond the sky
      Are where the real questions lie
      Wanting to know where it begins
      The puzzle piece we are missing
      Beyond the sun..........Beyond the sky
      Are where the real questions lie
      Universal garden above

    4. No Way We Can Lose

      There must be one answer for us all
      There can be no stopping what is ever changing
      Living for the perfect dream, it's time to make a resolution
      There will be some peace in our hearts and our minds

      We can all find a way to resolve our differences
      There's no way we can lose
      When we all realize that there are no differences
      There's no way we can lose

      Ready or not.................we can all find a way

      We will be forgiving to the ones we love
      We will see the blossoming of the new spirit
      Shaping everything to our design we'll build a brighter future
      We will free ourselves from chains that would bind

      We can all find a way to resolve our differences
      There's no way we can lose
      When we all realize that there are no differences
      There's no way we can lose

      No way can we lose,

      There's no way we can lose

      Ready or not.................

      We can all find a way to resolve our differences
      There's no way we can lose
      When we all realize that there are no differences
      There's no way we can lose

      Ready or not .................

      No way we can lose

    5. Fortune Seller

      Fortune, seller, finder, seeker, giver, taker, wisdom keeper
      Fortune, sailing, finder, seeker, giver, taker, wisdom maker

      Take hold of the answer
      Give life to the dreams you were foretold
      Looking into the future, trace the steps into the great unknown

      They say that time is like a river that flows
      And where that river ends nobody knows
      And so we navigate our way through this life
      Riding the river, riding the river

      Take hold of your chances
      Defy all the odds that have been made
      Making every movement count, we step toward a golden age
      You know...only you know

      Fortune, seller, finder, seeker, giver, taker, wisdom keeper
      Fortune, sailing, finder, seeker, giver, taker, wisdom maker

      They say that time is like a river that flows
      And where that river ends nobody knows
      And so we navigate our way through this life
      Riding the river, riding the river

      Giving into the power
      Giving into the magic of the ride, using imagination
      We take a step into the other side

      Fortune, seller, finder, seeker, giver, taker, wisdom keeper

      They say that time is like a river that flows
      And where that river ends nobody knows
      And so we navigate our way through this life
      Riding the river, riding the river

    6. Man In The Moon

      I am the man in the moon and I hope to shine upon you very soon
      Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
      I am the man; I am the man in the moon.

      Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above on
      my own
      Round and round and round I go
      When I stop no one will know

      I am a creature of the night and I hope to come and shed a little light
      Although the universe our teacher I remain the central feature
      I am the man; I am the man in the moon.

      Round and round and round I go
      When I stop no one will know

      Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above on my own

      I am the man in the moon and I hope to shine upon you very soon
      Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
      I am the man; I am the man in the moon.

      Round and round and round I go
      When I stop no one will know

      I am the man, man in the moon..........

      It's that old devil moon

    7. Wonderlove

      I believed that one day love would cast a line
      I believed there was something more for me to find
      Hoping today.....hoping tomorrow, taking it all in stride
      I believed, I could be chasing my mind

      There you were.....
      Like a dream to me.....Wonderlove
      Could this really be.....Wonderlove
      Can I make you see, you're the world to me

      I believe if we could only take the time
      Eventually we would learn each other's life
      Open the heart.....Give it a moment, leaving the cares behind
      Happily, we could be two of a kind

      There you were.....
      Like a dream to me.....Wonderlove
      We were meant to be.....Wonderlove
      Can I make you see, you're the world to me

      It was the very first day that I came alive,
      the door flung open there was a vision couldn't believe my eyes,
      everyone immortal like as though they didn't get it,
      everyone believing here at last receiving.
      Wonderlove, it's a place we all belong. Wonderlove

      I believe I could walk a thousand miles
      Just to see the vision of your simple smile
      Everyday.....wanting to follow, forever by your side
      Faithfully, you are my destiny

      There you were.....
      Wonderlove
      We were meant to be......Wonderlove
      It's the world where we belong......Wonderlove
      Together we will faithfully.....Wonderlove
      Can I make you see, you're the world to me

      Just imagine what you give is who you are and where you're going to
      If you're looking for the wisdom of the world all you've got to do let
      it coming through
      Be forever.
      Wonderlove ..... just imagine

    8. From The Balcony

      Now I've heard you singing, dreaming that you know me well
      Let me tell you far away, looking down on you

      If you know my spirit, always shall you know me well
      Singing is your pleasure, looking down on you

      Now I hear you singing, saying that you know me well
      Take me to your promise, new state of mind

      Now I feel you sighing saying that you understand

      You know that I would be the one who waits forever
      You know that someday we will find a way to share our
      love

      Now I hear you singing, dreaming that you know me well
      Let me tell you far away, new state of mind

      Feel the love shine

    10. Somehow, Someday

      So the blue bird will fly o'er the world and the stars
      In the moonlight she prays for forgiveness that's ours
      Only now can she rest from the singing of songs
      And the freedom of love

      Chances are when you give the love you have
      You will find it coming right back
      Giving into the love, you know it's right
      It's a feeling you'll long remember

      Hearts will be chosen....Somehow Someday... Hearts will be chosen

      Sailing into the dreams of what could be
      Reaching out for some form of contact
      Waiting for the one you know is right
      All you're needing to do, surrender

      Someday..........
      Hearts will be chosen
      Somehow......Someday
      Hearts will be chosen

      So many times on the clouds of forgiveness
      We walk through the country and feel so at ease
      A gentle reminder how things really are
      In our homelands of love

      Face to face with the one you really love
      Moving forward down the right track
      Chances are when you give all that you have
      You will find it flooding right back

      Someday..........
      Hearts will be chosen
      Somehow......Someday
      Hearts will be chosen

      O'er the green mountains and o'er the green valleys
      The blue bird of faith sails far off to the shore
      She sleeps on the breeze of the coming of love
      For the homelands of Ireland

      So many times on the clouds of forgiveness
      We walk through the country and feel so at ease
      A gentle reminder how things really are
      In our homelands of love

      So the blue bird will fly o'er the world and the stars
      In the moonlight she prays for forgiveness that's ours
      Only now can she rest from the singing of songs
      And the freedom of love
