SPRINGOSPHERE

Lift your voices higher
Set your heart on Fire
Seek the truth and you'll find it
Set your spirit free
Find the source of every inspiration
Watch winter, come into spring
Every beauty's here, now

This old world keeps spinning
Finding new beginnings
Moment to moment
Trust that we are one
Every word and every thought's your power
To change us
Come into spring
All the beauty's here, right now

You lift my spirit higher
You set my heart on fire
Can't believe, that I found you
You set my spirit free
You're my source for every inspiration
We're dancing, right into spring
Find the beauty - within your heart, start now
Return your heart, every beauty's here....

QUIET YOUR THOUGHTS

Quiet now, you can hear every sound,
Quiet your thoughts, still your mind
Listen you'll hear the sunrise, before any light appears
Now the twilights time to steal light
Hear the night, set the stars in the quiet

Quiet now, you can hear every sound
Quiet your thoughts, still your mind
Watching shadows of moon glow
Return light across the sky
Every moment, time has spoken
Whispers near, listen close you can hear
Quiet your thoughts...

LULLABY FOR A YOUNG BOY

Here's a gentle child's story
His photograph sits here calling me
And the saddest melody he sang to me
Why he left here alone
So many days gone
Who has the answer
To why this young boy's gone

Young boy listen to me
Your heart's all pure
If you just believe,
Hold your spirit sacred for
Nobody's war
Peace will come, not for all
Just those who seek it
No life lost in silence
Remember this, young boy gone

Trust your heart, be still young boy
I dream a dream for you, filled with joy
And this simple melody will set you free
You are never alone, and not forgotten
Gentle heart that you are
Remember this, young boy gone

You are not alone, young boy
Trust your heart young boy, hold your spirit sacred for
Nobody's war Fly away.

DANCE DELICIOSO

Look at the young boy dreaming
He wishes he knew her song
She dances and twirls around him
And hopes he’ll soon join along
Dance delicioso  Oooh…oooh..ooh.ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh

An old lady sits with memories
Alone without family
She finds herself dancing slowly
Lost in a new fantasy
Dance delicioso  Oooh…oooh..ooh.ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh

A mother stands in the distance
Afraid of life passing by
An old man too frail for dancing
Takes her by the hand and smiles
Dance delicioso  Oooh…oooh..ooh.ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh

Look at the young boy dancing
He laughs in the face of fear
The old lady sits with children
She no longer sheds a tear
Dance delicioso  Oooh…oooh..ooh.ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh

Look at the young girl dreaming
Her mothers eyes dance with glee
An old man alone no longer
The little child sets him free
Dance delicioso  Oooh…oooh..ooh.ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,oooooh

LAST FAREWELL

I knew your heart
Your eyes were diamonds
So it goes, as it must go
Life must leave us
Find rainbows’ end

But I miss your lovely
Arms holding me gently
The softest star
You shone like crazy
Through the night
All thru dawns
Daylight

I know you hear this song
I feel your heart
It beats so gently
So you go
When you go

ROAMIN'

Catch the sun as it goes down
While you’re roamin’
Watch the sundown
Wait a while before too long
What’s been hiding
New moon rising
Out late, can’t wait
For the starlight
Midnight, invites (Moon’s hot, why not)
Roamin’ (keep roamin’)

ONLY THE SILENCE

You don’t own my words
You don’t own what I’m feeling
I’m a million voices strong
Only silence hears us calling
But you don’t know my name

If you listen close
You might hear the whispered song
On a soft wind blowing down
And it’s sad lament
Sings of lives all spent
Lost on senseless battle grounds

You don’t know my name
You can’t hear what I’m thinking
Still you stake your claim on me
With the stars quietly falling
You’ll hear the heartache
Only the silence hears

NEW DAY

Dancing in the summer sun
There’s joy here for everyone
It feels good to throw our cares away

Now’s the time for seeking
And finding out
Turn around, look, what comes about
A new day

Find the source of the love you are
And go seek tour heart’s desire
Believe all that’s given will return
See how far away all the sadness is
Now that we’ve had a chance to glimpse

A new day. old love, lifts you,
Higher, and higher, shining
Brighter than the sun
In love

Laughing now, you’ve come my way
You see now we’ve got to stay
Together, let’s welcome in
A new Day

Finding new ways
Comes a new day
Lifts you higher, and higher...

PABLO

I still can’t believe
That you have really come to me
You opened up my eyes, Pablo
Your life’s most, wonderful surprise now
I’m like a little child again
No more fears but then,

Will you be there, tomorrow
Who knows, who cares
What sorrow brings
‘ Cause if only for a moment more
I’m just so happy to adore

The beauty of your gentle soul
Your voice a song whispered so low
Is all I hear, and all I know
Of you, just you
Pablo

BLUE IN GREEN

When the day grows old like autumn
Leaving all its many charms
To lovers gone, the Blue in Green
Takes on a new and different meaning
On into another kind of blue romance,
A sudden glance

Through winter see the colors changing
Just a different kind of view
To what is always Blue in Green

It seems we always end up feeling
Things are never what we want
Our world to be, but can’t you see
What Blue in Green
Really means, in your dreams.

SONG FOR SAM

Big brown almond eyes
How did you get so wise
Everybody smiles when you walk by
African music makes me dream
But you haven’t heard of Halloween
A distant memory shines within your heart
You dance you dance ‘neath the bluest of southern skies

I always thought that you
And I could be this way
You mean much more to me
Much more than words can say
I hold you in my arms
On a sunny day
Touch a shining star

I sit and gaze far off
And watch you play
You make friends easily
So unafraid
Your energy is much
That I know one day
You’ll fly away

Big brown almond eyes
How did you get so wise
Everybody smiles when you walk by
African music makes me dream
But you haven’t heard of Halloween
A distant memory shines within your heart
You dance your dance ‘neath the bluest of southern skies

FREEDOM

If you believe that you get what you need
You’re sure to feel free when you bleed
There out of a moment in time
You can be certain to find
What you need to feel fine
There’s no mistakes in life
Only what you can make of life
That’s freedom

Sure you can say there are people who pay
Too much for their lives, it ain’t right
Well perhaps the next time ‘round
They will get to wear the queen’s crown
Turn the world upside down
There’s many ways through life
Yeah some choose the bitter fight
To freedom

If you can hear through the minds inner ear
The music is clear in high gear
You can just relax on the sounds
And make the orchestra sound
Quite profound, turn around
There’s more than one way out
Just play with the notes and you’ll find out
That’s freedom!

HEARTS STILL BEATING

Someone once told me
Beware of beauty
It’ll steal your heart
And leave you cold
But I was foolish in
The ways of passion then
My heart stopped beating oh yeah
My heart stopped beating then and there

Await a journey
For where love finds you
Can take you everywhere but there
‘ Cause all my life I’ve been
A drifter on the wind
I took one look at you
You stopped my heart right then and there

And it’s hard to know just how to leave this
It’s just so hard to go away from here
If I could lose my way again and find you
Would you remain a mystery still

I heard that someone new
Shares all your secrets
A captive heart has found your soul
But it’s so hard to let you know that I’m the one still dreaming
It’s just so hard to let you go, you now my heart is beating still

I wish that I had told you long ago
My heart’s still beating don’t you know
My heart’s still beating very slow—oh yeah
My heart’s still beating, don’t you know
