1. Endless Endeavors
I have long been fashioning
An inner world of obstacles
Between thee and me
Shuttered huts of discouragement
Barbed wire fences of habit
Stone walls of indifference
Mountains of indolence
And oceans of unfaithfulness
I'll plant a seed beneath my feet
Someday
And breathe into it energy
Someday
I'll firm its' soil with a dance
And pray the sky will shine its' lamp
I'll water it with heartfelt love and
Someday, I'll awake...
I'll pack a bag beneath the stars
When someday comes
And grip it when the missiles charge
When someday comes
I'll tend to it with utmost care
And open it when I can share
A slavery to its' perfection
Someday, I'll awake...
I'll cry because I have the faith
That man can change his ugly ways
I'll throwaway the bag and seed
For no one owns what we all need
I'll begin, without, within
Searching, seeking, seeing
Endless endeavors
2. Karma's Plight
3. Circle
I am winter dormant in my solitude
You are spring alive and with new growth
I am summer burning in my beatitude
You are fall shedding leaves grown old
Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone
I am petals found in frail wayside flowers
You are wind blowing bare open
I am sunlight showering the rays of play
You are sand soft yet hard as stone
Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone
Merging with the land now
With all things
And all the beings
Knowing I am one now
With my vision
With all the feeling
I am winter, you are spring
I am petals, you are wind
Faith fills my inner space
Clears my circle's place
Turns me inside out
Moves away my doubt
Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone
Just when the circle's drawn
Just then the circle's gone
The circle's gone
[solo: Aruna]
4. Costumed in Grace
5. Cosmos
I long to live with some celestial beings
To adore in silence blissful friends
Gliding into constellations of their smiles
Melting into shining eyes
Chant away
The cosmos grace
Born inside the lotus gold
To be at the feet of celestial artists
Close to the brush of their cosmic strokes
Churning whispers into melodies of psalm
In timeless rhythms, blessed tones
Chant away
The cosmos grace
Born inside the lotus gold
I can live this revelation
With magnified devotion
Magnified devotion
Magnified devotion...
"Divine mother
Free my mind from all obstacles of delusion
And lead me safely to thy shores of fulfillment
Awaken within me increasing strength, positive thinking, courage, faith
And above all fill my heart
With thine unconditional love
With thine unconditional joy"
[solo: Paul]
I want to be closer to higher beings
Near to touch those divine companions
Gathering joyfully from the nether world
As I go through the portal's fold
6. Crawl Above
7. Mirror Child
8. Road to You
9. Belong
10. Not the Same
