PASS IT AROUND: Born into this world of illusion separation And then we’re taught to run the human race Earn the freedom when we reach the destination Lifetime prescription for living to the numb the pain Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Never coming down… Woke up to the gift of the present meditation And learned to be the witness be the space Freedom found deep down in the Now elevation Heal it by feeling it no need to escape Heal it by feeling it no need to escape Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around The time has come We’re rising up No coming down I know, I know that I was born to be a rebel Feeling alive this natural high’s lifting me up to another level People we’re alive let this natural high lift us up to another level Another level Another level Another level Music’s my medicine Answer to every question Student of truth Follow my heart every day The more I let go of “I” Higher my expression Instrument of Love that’s the song I came to play Instrument of Love that’s the song I came to play Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Never coming down Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around Pass it around The time has come We’re rising up No coming down

I Won't Die 04:26
I WON’T DIE Six o’clock in the mornin’ And I can’t wait to get my day goin’ I’ve been sleepin’ and dreamin’ Now it’s time to get up with the sun Rise, rise above the ashes of yesterday’s deeds undone Every day’s a blessing and I must confess That I’ve been wasting so many but now I’m ready to rest My soul in peace knowing I’ve done what I came to do. Oh dear God, please give me the strength to follow through. My song has to be sung From the heart and the lungs Before I leave I’ve got to speak my truth I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I blink it’s already sundown And I’ve still got so much to do now. This is the one and only moment Where we get to keep the magic unfoldin’. My mind’s been telling me what it’s been thinking about Trying to figure out how but I don’t want that doubt To creep in and ruin all the visions I’ve been havin’ So I imagine it already happened. You can make a wish but if you don’t believe it won’t come true Or you could have it all before you plant the seed you taste the fruit. My song has to be sung From the heart and the lungs Before I leave you know I’m speakin’ my truth I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I know what I’m supposed to do now I’ve got this feelin’ and I’ve got to let it out. Yeah, I know what I’m supposed to now I’ve got this feelin’ and I’ve got to, I’ve got let it out. It’s almost midnight there’s a full moon Outside my window this day’s gonna be over soon I count my blessings and say thank you For this life I know I can’t give too much gratitude. Before I was born into this world I had no form And then I came into the shape they gave And the name they named me. Like a lion in a cage, asleep with no escape Livin’ like a slave but now I’m wide awake. Now I’m free and howlin’ with my voice I choose to use it And no one else can tell this story like I do, yes. My song has to be sung From the heart and the lungs Before I leave you know I’m speakin’ my truth I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me I won’t die, I won’t die With my music inside me

All My Love 03:24
ALL MY LOVE Darlin I've been holding back Not giving you all I have Cause I was afraid To open up my heart all the way Stop with all the games I play Now what would you say If I showed you all my colours Every shade, even my deep and dark secrets? What if everything we have to gain Would be lost if I keep them? I'll give all my love You get all my love I get all my love That's all I really want All I ever really needed is All my love You get all my love I get all my love That's all I really want All I ever really needed is All my love I've been listening to the voice in my head Believing all the lies that it says About who I am When I look into the mirror I see A broken down shadow of me Now what if I can't Cover up my cracks every dirty flaw every last weakness? What if everything I've tried to hide is what I've been seeking? I'll give all my love You get all my love I get all my love That's all I really want All I ever really needed is All my love You get all my love I get all my love That's all I really want All I ever really needed is All my love Darlin I was holdin back Not giving you all I have Cause I was afraid...

LET ME PICK YOU UP I don’t want to be famous I don’t need to be rich But if I had Just one wish I would ask for enough to love To give and open up So many hearts that we could take All the pain we create And turn it into gold Before we lose another soul If you’ve got no faith left And you’re running low on luck Let me pick you up If you’re broken down And you’re hurtin now, you’re stuck Let me pick you up Oh won’t you Let me pick you up I’m not tryin to be the best And I don’t need a prize But if I could be Just one thing in your eyes I would ask God to show me How to be brave like only God could Take away our fears And wipe away our tears Til nothing could keep us From reaching Paradise If you’ve got no faith left And you’re running low on luck Let me pick you up If you’re broken down And you’re hurtin now, you’re stuck Let me pick you up Oh won’t you Let me pick you up Oh another rainy day The sky is gray More of the same Let it fall And wash the tears away And if it still hurts Would it help to hear me say… If you’ve got no faith left And you’re running low on luck Let me pick you up If you’re broken down And you’re hurtin now, you’re stuck Let me pick you up Just let me pick you up I wanna pick you up Cause I’ve got so much love I wanna pick you up Oh cause I’ve got so much love So let me pick you up Let me pick you up Let me pick you up Won’t you let me pick you up

THE PROMISE OF BEAUTY Do you really love me Or is it just that you need All I have to give you? Did you really mean it When you said that you wanted To live for Truth and be my Queen? But if those were just empty words Then darlin’ I’d prefer For you to set me free. Set me free. Cause I don’t need another broken heart I’d rather know for sure And let this go before it starts. Why bleed from picking up a rose When I can clearly see The thorns hidden underneath? The promise of beauty. The promise of beauty. The promise… Can you really hold me When I’m the one in pain And I just need a place, a place to rest? Do you have the space For me to come undone and be a mess Or is that too much to ask? Cause If it feels like trying Then if you wouldn’t mind Please just let me be. Oh just let me be. I can’t take another broken word I’d rather be alone Better on my own before I heard Vows made like falling drops of rain Blue skies that turn to gray clouds In puddles on the ground. The promise of beauty. The promise of beauty. The promise…

Her 04:33
HER I’ve seen the ocean in Her eyes Deep mystery, clear, no disguise I’ve heard Her whisper with the trees Voice of an angel, pure and free. I’ve watched walls crumble when she smiles Under Her gaze, Her healing touch Like a light shone on what darkness hides In Her Presence, there’s only Love. Once upon a Blue Moon Way up in the summer sky There we were, just Me and her Reunited in perfect time And now there’s nothing more She needs to do To keep me Loving Her The whole way through I’ve known her for a thousand lifetimes No space between Her Heart and Mine. And when she calls for me I’ve seen How Mother Nature offers me Her streams. Once upon a Blue Moon With the tides rising high There we were, just Me and Her Reunited in perfect time. And now there’s nothing more She needs to do To keep me Loving Her The whole way through Once upon a Blue Moon Way up in the summer sky There we were, just Me and her Reunited in perfect time And now there’s nothing more She needs to do To keep me Loving Her The whole way through

DANCE ALL NIGHT Move your body, shake it. Shake it all around. It’s time to get on up, Yeah, it’s time to get on down. Let yourself get lifted. Let go of control. Feel it in your heart. You can feel it in your soul. Come on, move yourself, Dance all night. All night. Move yourself, Dance all night. All night. Music is the secret. The secret’s comin’ out. When people get together And start screaming it out loud. Mountains will be shaken Oceans overflow’n. Walls will crumble down As the Universe unfolds. Move yourself Dance all night All night Move yourself Dance all night All night Let the sound flow through you Like electricity Get grounded in the groove now And set your spirit free Come on, move yourself Dance all night All night Move yourself Dance all night All night Come on dance…all night. All night

Gone 02:52
GONE I don’t know when i’ll get The chance again So i’ll live this moment Like it could be my last I know that it’s not always easy To tell the Truth But it’s easier than living a lie I know that it’s not always fair The way things work out But you’ll never know if you don’t try So… I don’t wanna wait too long Cause it’ll be too late when I’m gone Come on, let’s not wait too long Cause it’ll be too late when we’re gone Gone...Gone Gone...Gone I know that it can be hard to find The right moment To speak your mind, your mind But I can’t think of anything worse Than running out of time, out of time So… I’m not gonna wait too long Cause it’ll be too late when I’m gone Come on, let’s not wait too long Cause it’ll be too late when we’re gone Gone...Gone Gone...Gone

You Are 04:42
YOU ARE I can tell by the look in your eyes That you don't want to be here. When I look deep into your heart There's a sadness I can feel. A pain that's made of memories And stories you've been telling a long time. I’m like an angel come to set you free, If you can't see with your eyes, Look with mine And you'll find... You are here for a reason. You are one of a kind. You are here for a reason Like a snowflake, like a sunflower, like a season. Beyond space... Beyond time... I can hear the words you’re speaking Reminding me what’s real. But all the voices in my head Keep me numb so I won’t feel This pain that’s made of memories And stories I’ve believed in a long time I wish I could see what others see I wish the voice of reason was mine And I’d find… You are here for a reason. You are one of a kind. You are here for a reason. You are the brightest light. Full of colour, full of beauty, full of wonder. Beyond space... Beyond time... I know the Truth of who You Are, I've known it all along. And even when you can't feel it The knowing's never gone. Through the pain and memories There's a new story to write About the You you've always been And the Truth hidden deep inside. You're Divine... You are here for a reason. You are one of a kind. You are here for a reason. You are the brightest light. Full of colour, full of beauty, full of wonder. Like a snowflake, like a sunflower, like a season. Beyond space... Beyond time... Beyond space... Beyond time...
