Hallelujah
03:28
|

What appears as a betrayal
Is truly a guiding light
Veiled within the darkness
An invitation to the fire
Drowning, drowning
I learn to breathe with all my might
Dying, dying
I fully choose life
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
With neglect comes a sacred yearning
With decay soil for turning
With abuse comes a wounding
Within the wound lies a miracle healing
Falling, within the falling
Is the freedom to fly
Calling, calling
Brings a mother to the child
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Affirming and abiding
Sends the angels eagerly flying
And the universe realigning
And the miracle materializing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
What appears as a betrayal
Is truly a guiding light

Free
03:03
|

In the midst of the commotion
She takes me to the ocean
Feeds me a magic potion
Sings songs of devotion
I’m dirty from the city
Torn up broke down and gritty
She says that I look pretty
And that I’m free to choose to be free
And when it comes to heaven or hell
I guess it all just depends on how I feel about myself
And when it comes to love or fear
Well one is an illusion only one is real
Only love is real
Only love is real
And when I’m looking for something
To ease my pain
It seems that all I’ve got to do
Is just drop the blame
And when I find myself begging
To the lord above
It’s time to get up off my knees
It’s time to choose love
Love love love love love love love
Love love love love love love love
I’m free to choose to be free
I’m free to choose to be free
I’m free to choose to be free

Disasters
04:33
|

You were having a great life
You were having a real good time
But your soul was lonely
So you reached out to take my hand
You wanted a sweetheart
Maybe you wanted an angel
But you got a woman who has walked through heaven and hell
Disasters
Require miracles
And I’ve seen some miracles
I have walked in and out of flames
No big deal
Cause only here and now is real
Sometimes my memories
My memories do betray
Baby I’m sorry I left you that way
Baby so sorry I left you that day
I know that space and time
Should make everything better
But I think the great Divine
Is all that will get us through
I’m not asking you
To believe in Jesus
But darling I’m asking you
To believe in us
Disasters
Require miracles
So lets make a miracle
We can walk right out of these flames
No big deal
Cause only here and now is real
If you’re ready
Then I’m ready to walk your way
Baby I’m sorry I left you that way
Baby so sorry I left you that day
Baby I’m sorry I left you that way
Baby so sorry I left you that day

Burn
03:35
|
|||
I need a new beginning
I want ground
Solid ground
I need to build myself
A new foundation
Take this façade of myself
And burn it down
Burn
Burn
Burn
It’s time to burn myself down
It’s time to burn myself down
My house is haunted
My building blocks are cracked and broken
Call in the wrecking ball
Come on and level it all
It’s time, it’s time to
Burn
Burn
Burn yeah
It’s time to burn myself down
It’s time to burn myself down
I have been believing in Illusion
I’ve been living my sweet life in seclusion
It’s time to open up my heart
It’s time to open up my mind
It’s time to let my body move and groove it all the time and
Burn
Burn
Burn yeah
It’s time to burn myself down
It’s time to burn myself down
It’s time to burn myself down
It’s time to burn myself down

Goodbye
03:38
|

Darkness, darkness
All around
Where shall I be found?
Moonlight, star shine
Glimmering hope down to me
On this cold ground
In the garden
I wander
A place I once knew well
Here in the beauty
Lost in the cruelty
Of love’s final farewell
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my beloved
I wish you freedom
from your prison door
The key to which I never found
Fire, fire
Funeral pyre
The ashes of my grief
Phoenix I am awaiting
Your rising
In your talons
I will travel
By your turquoise wings
To a land far away
From my tragic failing
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my beloved
I wish you freedom from the war
The peace I could never inspire
Drowning in still water
I reach for the surface
Sunlight guiding me
To my sacred purpose
Releasing, releasing
By my grieving
All of this burden
All is forgiven
And I move forward
As sure as this earth is turning
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my beloved
I wish you freedom from the pain
Which I could never ease
I wish you freedom from the pain
Which I could never ease
Goodbye, my love
Goodbye, my beloved

Raven
04:09
|
|||
I am craving flying with the Raven
Cause she takes me between the two worlds
She’s got magic in her dark wings
In her heart lies the blue pearl
I am hungry I’ve got some honey
And it feels good in my mouth
But Mama needs some loving and communion
But I’m left hanging too far south
So I breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
Breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
It’s ok that it turned this way
I can always use time for myself
Time to develop self-love as a habit
Cause you sure cain’t get the from no one else
Oh, I hang out with my diseases
I can cure them good as Jesus
When I find my own true self
Well that makes people nervous
But I do it nonetheless
Cause I think it’s what we came here for
We came to breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
Breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
Sometimes I feel like an angel
Sometimes I feel like the devil
Sometimes I am free
Sometimes I am bound
I have been recruited, I’ve been persecuted
And it just seems to keep coming ‘round
Yes, but I am not afraid of the man today
Cause he revealed himself in a past life interaction we had
Make no mistake, he burned me at the stake
But it did not hurt that bad
Because I breathed in the air
I invoked the water
I honored the earth
I burned in the fire
I breathed in the air
I invoked the water
I honored the earth
I burned in the fire
Breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
Breathe in the air
Invoke the water
Honor the earth
Burn in the fire
I am craving flying with the Raven
Cause she takes me between the two worlds
She’s got magic in her dark wings
In her heart lies the blue pearl

Tree
02:43
|

I asked a tree
To help me
And it is
It its own time
I asked a tree
To help me
And it is
It its own time
Time, keeps messing with me in my mind
My mind, keeps messing with me all the time
So I asked a tree
To help me
And it is
In its own time

Declaring
04:24
|
|||
I found myself by the roadside
Watching my life go by
I asked a thousand questions
And heard myself answer with a thousand lies
Surrounded by people
I could never seem to get to know
We all traded love for fear
Somewhere a long time ago
No need for war anymore
We are mistaken
In the time that we are taking
All that there is is love
There’s no question
There’s only proclaiming
No need for war anymore
And no more begging God
For the changes
All that there is is love
I’m not asking I am declaring
Everybody says do unto others
As I would have them do unto me
But it’s hard to pull it off
When you don’t even know what the hell you need
So I take a precious moment
Take a moment to gather ‘round
All of these children inside of me
Hanging at the lost and found
No need for war anymore
We are mistaken
In the time that we are taking
All that there is is love
There’s no question
There’s only proclaiming
No need for war anymore
And no more begging God
For the changes
All that there is is love
I’m not asking I am declaring
Finding my brothers and sisters
Amongst the strangers
Knowing there’s only one
Frees me from the danger
True life, true love, true self
True life, true love, true self
No need for war anymore
We are mistaken
In the time that we are taking
All that there is is love
There’s no question
There’s only proclaiming
No need for war anymore
And no more begging God
For the changes
All that there is is love
I’m not asking I am declaring

Mother
03:56
|
|||
I must stop
I must stop
I must gracefully, lovingly stop
Got to go
I’ve got to go
To what is left of my home
I must stay there
I must pray there
While the water comes in through the roof
In this house of rot wood and ruin
It’s time for a little home improvement
Mother is here now
Mother is here, now
Mother is here now
Mother is here
Mother is here now
Mother is here
It’s never too late for mama to come home
Teach the demons to dance with the ghosts
Teach the children to pick up their clothes
Hold the rebels up to the light
Fight the devil with all of my might
In this house of push and shove
It’s time for love
Mother is here now
Mother is here, now
Mother is here now
Mother is here
Mother is here now
Mother is here,
It’s never too late for mama to come home
Never too late for mama to come home
Never too late for mama to come home

Root
04:04
|

Root yourself in the earth, woman
Come on now and root yourself deep in the earth, woman.
You’ve had the trials and the tribulations
And the deepest violation
But here you are
Beautiful and strong
You’re gonna laugh out loud and sing your song
And root yourself
Root yourself
Come on now, root yourself
Deep in the earth, woman
Find the answers in the rising of the sun
Honor your ancestors and beat the drum
Light the fire put your hands in the dirt
And soon you will find your true worth
If you root yourself
Root yourself
Come on now and root yourself
Deep in the earth, woman
Root yourself in the earth now
Take it way down
Root yourself in the earth now
Take it way down
Root yourself in the earth now
Take it way down
Root yourself in the earth now
Take it way down
Way down, deep down, way down
Way down, deep down, way down
Way down, deep down, way down
Way down, deep down, way down
Root yourself
Root yourself
Come on now and root yourself
Deep in the earth, woman
Tap into love deep in your chest
Look at yourself the worst the best
And cry, cry, cry, cry and some more ooo yeah
Show the evil spirit the door
And root yourself
Root yourself
Come on now and root yourself
Deep in the earth, woman
Root yourself
Root yourself
Come on now and root yourself
Deep in the earth, woman

Bells
04:39
|

Singing of where I’m from
My heritage, my blood
Red earth, blue sky
The lightning of my Grandmother
In my heart there lives a drum
Beating into the sound of bells
Ancestors on my tongue
Singing songs from the well
Sky people rising from the reign of terror
Children of middle water
Singing our prayers
In our hearts there lives a drum
Beating into the sound of bells
Ancestors on our tongues
Singing songs from the well
