Make me present in the face
Of this torrent human race
To find something
True inside this place
That we can hold
That can hold our weight
And lift us from
Our great debate
To bring us Peace
To slow us down
To help our feet
Stay on the ground
To walk the Earth
With a gentle stride
To Live in Love
Release the Pride
When all the songs sound the same
I will find one holy name
To fill my heart, Relieve the pain
To let me live, Release the shame
When all the songs sound the same
I will sing one holy name
That I can hold
That can hold my weight
And lift me from
Our great debate
To bring me Peace
And to slow me down
To help my feet
Stay on the ground
To walk the Earth
With a gentle stride
To Live in Love
Release the Pride...
To show us Love
So we wont hide
To show us something
That just can't be denied

We spent all winter cooped up in our broken hearts
Now spring has cracked our shell
And it's time for a fresh start
And we're on our own
The path is clear
Thank Goodness
We're Not Alone
And our arms are tired
Of dusting off this frozen shelf
The ledge on which we've perched
All we believed to be ourselves
And it's all become much clearer now
To see the way, how we can embody our Power
But we've got this treasure trove
Of guilt within our hearts
And now it's time for this
Heavy gold and I (golden 'I') to part
Behold the gift of Humbling
Invite this Feast of Friends
To come and sing,
"We Are Finally Free
From the Golden Age
Of Our Suffering!"
And our mind's fire
For all the things that we have claimed
To be our own
Now engrave the throne
With this old tribal saying,
"We Are All! We are All the Same!
All one beautiful birth
No One to blame"
Relieved to pull off these chains
That keep our wilderness at bay
And come to our senses again
To inspire kindness
Is one thing worth admiring
In this hollow haven of our
Self-inflicted drudgeries
Allow the face of a new friend
Replace all our walls with open doors
And allow our fear to end
Oh, how we are blessed
With these hands to lend
Oh, how we've been blessed
With these hands to lend

Hold Your Ground

Have I lost you, in the waves my friend
Of your ocean mind, that never bends
To the will of man, with an angry heart
Know the true will of man, is the loving art of
Self Appreciation, Self Appreciation
Self Appreciation, Are we Willing to?
Are we Willing to Go!?
Walking down the isle, with a crazy smile
In from the crazy world
He must've been out there for a while
In this crazy world, he got a crazy smile
Oh, From this crazy world,
He must've been out there for a while
But can you hear it?
Can you hear it singin'?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it singin'?
The wild word, of the untamed
Come to break, your lonely chain
To Free your Heart, to Free your Mind
To Open Your Eyes!
To Free your Heart, to Free your Mind
To Break the Chain,
Let's Break the Chain!
And carve the links 'til you are captive no more
And make your shadow into greatness
Turn your wounds into grace
Turn that frown upside-down on your face
And let the light into the room
To shed some summer on an unending gloom
Are we ready to walk?
Are we ready to go?
Take one small step,
In the direction of your soul
No, your not moving now
You've not a long way to go
Know, your not moving now
You've not a long way to go
To turn your darkness into a fertile storm
That burns the forest down
So new life can be born
Inside your heart
Let go of your worry and your doubt
You're not waiting, holding out
Just to be let down
Lay down your sword
But Hold Your Ground
Hold Your Ground!
Let go of your fear and doubt
You're not waiting now
Just to be let down
Close your eyes, and listen
For the softest sound
No, you're not waiting now
Just to be let down
Lay down your sword
But Hold Your Ground
