Free As A Dove
One day I asked aloud, amidst the dark confusion,
I asked “Where could be found?” the answer to our problems
And then, out of the dark, a voice was saying “Listen...
...Listen to your heart, we are all wise within ... and ...
Only you, only you can change the way you are
And only you can find your morning star.
Through the day while you're working, do your hands feel like clay;
Or save it for a rainy day...
Only you, only you can change the way you feel...
And only you can beat the Karmic wheel.
Through the day when you're thinking,
Do you know who you are...
In the night when you're dreaming,
Do you know where you are...
Is your home a distant star?
Keep your head wide open...
Do not fall for the same old things that you did before...
This world's cold... religions they'll lead you anywhere
But the secret door... on your second floor.
This time around, you've got to see from the highest mountain
And then you'll find you've got to feel like the depth of the sea.
All light and sound is Perpetual Motion...
If you understand then, one day, you'll be free...
...Free as a Dove...”

You'll Make It Through
If you're caught in darkness, holding on for dear life,
Remember where you started and how you knew what was right,
And now if you're lonely and the feeling ain't right...
Hold on! Don't give in...
You'll make it through the night.
Hold on! You'll make it through this life.
Living all together is the biggest challenge ever...
Someone's gonna come and set you right.
Spread your wings and love will guide your flight...
Get those good things into your life.
You've got the real thing, and only Love can bring
An ending to these troubled times.
If your heart is heavy, and you live in fear,
There's a time to be lonely
And a time to get clear.
Let those words we're singing
Reach your inner ear.
Hold on! Don't give in...
You'll make it through the night...
Hold on! “You'll make it through...”

I Only Want To Love You
Looking back, sometimes I wondered
Who held the key to your hearts,
Now I know, through places I travelled
Our Love's unravelled a chart...
In my life I've waited for a chance to really make it...
Something written into my stars.
Past lives that I've lived only lead up to a Gift
Of speaking out my thoughts in my songs.
I only want to Love you.
I only want to care.
I'd like a friend to talk to.
My feelings are to share my life with someone
I hope it's you and that you'll care.
Our imagination is a secret of creation
Given to us right at the start,
And our Destination is reaching for Salvation.
From the city streets we've outgrown.
I only want to love you...
I only want to care.
I'd like a friend to talk to
My feelings are to share my life with someone
I hope it's you and that you'll care.
I only want to love you...
So will you play this song again...

Someone To Believe In
I've travelled this Illusion...
Light show extraordinaire...
Been searchin' for a reason...
A ‘why’ we all can share.
'Coz all the things they taught me
Didn't help to make it clear...
'Twas their misunderstanding
Made all this appear.
A man needs someone to believe in,
Or else he's gonna blow his mind.
There's something more to life than TV,
You know it's gonna make you blind.
I've come to this conclusion -
There's one beyond compare.
The source of all religion -
His light has always been there.
The Truth that He has brought me
Did away with all my fears,
And misinterpretations
Are soon to disappear.
A man needs someone to receive him
When he gets to the other side...
We've gotta have this growing feeling:
We're a part of the Great Divine.

Carry On
Your smile has been so good to me; you made my blues disappear...
You helped me pull through the darkest hours with truth and love.
So live your life in bliss, and take this tender kiss for your flower;
My inspiration now is what you gave to me every hour.
Carry-on, the Past has gone and paid for.
Solo-on, through the door you're made for.
Love flows on, through the Gates Of Heaven.
We are One, by the light of the Seven.
The Saints and the Saviour have all talked about
The cause of our downfall and how to get out.
The Yogis and Mystics on Spiritual Planes,
The Gurus and Divas they all say the same.
Spiritual Flame... keep it burning.
In faith we'll journey on, Love's promise gets it on, oh yea
And everyone will be sparks of the family of Love.
Somewhere beyond the Sun, the Lord he turned me on and on
He said “Be not afraid, the summer's gonna come one of these days...”
Carry-on! The Past has gone and paid for.
Solo-on, through the door you're made for.
Love flows on, through the Gates Of Heaven.
We are One, by the light of the Seven.
A new thing is happening on this planet now,
We're hearing The Buddha, The Christ and The Tao.
It powers the starships... the colours of awe...
It powers us all, and that's all.

Message
Oh, I hope that I see you again.
I never even caught your name
As you looked through my window pane.
So I'm writing this message today.
I'm thinking that you'll have a way
Of hearing the notes in my tune.
Where are you going? Where have you been?
I can imagine ‘other worlds’ you have seen,
Beautiful faces, and music so serene.
So I do hope I see you again,
My Universal citizen.
You went as quickly as you came.
You know the Power! Your love is right;
You have good reason
To stay out of sight,
But break our illusions, and help us
Be.
The Light.

The Seed
The secret of the seed
Is in the fragrance of the flower,
As the petals open up
And bow their heads towards the power.
In the sky were [sic] passing by
A million miles every hour
On the Universal clock...
It's [sic] Basic Rhythm is forever...
And Life Dances... and rejoices
In the knowledge... of it's [sic] freedom
And the Promise of a New found Destiny.

The Promise
The world is full of People, some are trying to lend a hand
To help us learn to recognise, so we can understand
That Life holds many Secrets, they stand before our doors...
Admit the ones you're hiding now, so you may know them all...
Twelve Vibrations long ago are the cause of me and mine, and you and
yours.
Just let them be and the doors will open wide
To paintings on the rocks, gigantic Stonehenge Blocks,
The Pyramids, and the sphinx, the temples are the links
To lead us through our past, so we might find ourselves at last...
The first Book ever written was a symbol of our home;
It came from Solar Heaven, where our Life... Wave was born.
We came in ships a-singing the Praise of One above,
Like children in a garden, our hearts were full of love...
Ezekiel's wheels seem to be turning up now...
The Pillar Of Fire, a Luminous Cloud;
I know, I've seen them, and they do make a sound...
They filled my soul with ‘Music Of The Spheres’.
It's been my goal for nine long years to write this song... so I can
say....
Exactly what I believe is coming down...
Oh Sweet Loving Music, I hear your tender call.
To me, you are a River, Pure Love your Waterfall.
A Tide forever bathing a rough and rocky shore...
Please take us on a Journey, so we can learn some more.
I dream by day... I dream by night.
Through coloured Rays, I feel your Might...
And now I claim my Right... a son of God,
Eternal Life... the Promise of Your Rainbow Light.
