We Are the Critical Mass
Citizens of the world...the time has come.
Citizens of the world...all you daughters and sons.
Citizens of the world...choose your path.
Citizens of the world...we are the critical mass.
We have arrived at the shore of our tomorrow.
We are making a wave to create a world of peace.
Now is the time to reach out to your brothers.
Now is the time to erase the face of fear.
‘Cuz we’re all in this game if the rules never change they divide us.
If we want to last we must break from the past. Love will guide us.
We are traveling light filled with the sight understanding
the critical mass is expanding.
Citizens of the world - peace is your right.
Citizens of the world. - end all the fights.
Citizens of the world. - raise your voice.
Citizens of the world.- we have a choice
No hate today...Only love.
No fear today...Only joy, joy, joy.
No war today...Only peace, only peace.
Citizens of the world...the time has come.
Citizens of the world...all you daughters and sons.
Citizens of the world...choose your path.
Citizens of the world...we are the critical mass.
Setting Sail
I’m setting sail -- winging down the wind
Every destination is charted deep within
I’m setting sail -- -- I never look behind
Cause every day’s a new horizon
I never worry when winds are blowing
Or when I lose sight of my port of call
I drink the wind and I taste the ocean
And know my heart’s a compass calling me home
When I am lost in a sea of trouble
When I am tossed by mighty gales.
When I’m in irons or winds becalm me
I know the breath of God will fill my sails
Sailing straight into sunrise
Living one breath from the stars
Freedom. Welcome to heaven.
Heaven is right where you are.
I’m setting sail -- winging down the wind
Every destination is charted deep within
I’m setting sail -- -- I never look behind
Cause every day’s a new horizon
I may never arrive but I’ll know I’m alive. Sailing to a new horizon.
Desire Never Dies
We wandered everywhere, through the fountains in the market square,
Through the vendors, and the vineyards, and the mountains in the summer air.
Eyes full of secrets, little lockets of ocean blue,
whispered wishes for kisses and love made under heaven's hues.…
You made my heart pound like the ocean that foamed below
that same path of gods walked by lovers of old.
And all of our senses cried with wonder at the touch of wind
leaving leaves in our hair and salt on our skin.
And you will feel the wind cease to blow and you will see the ocean bide.
Long before my heart will let you go now that you're inside.
Do you remember how we promised under starlit skies
to keep our love alive on the wind and on the tide?
We’d meet as strangers in another place another time
and see through our disguise …into each other’s eyes.
Because -deep in your heart you know desire never dies.
we’ve been together soul to soul before time before time before time before.
So walk with me in the sun today and know that...
And you will feel the wind cease to blow and you will see the ocean bide.
Long before my heart will let you go now that you're inside.
How could you ever think I would leave you after all this time
of twisting in the wind like the Cyprus on the hill?
You’ve been a wanderer for all your lives, yet I know
love will bring you home.
Changing Winds
One day I stood alone weeping in my mirror,
Wondering how I ever got myself down here?
I know my choices cannot be undone
but I feel the winds are changing.
What's done is done. The past is done.
Then a sunset brought me to my knees
In the twilight I heard angels on the breeze
In my heart I knew I had another chance
to hear the music in my soul
and learn to dance, I yearn to dance
On those changing winds. The winds are changing
Life goes on and the winds will blow.
What are the choices I make on my way
to keep me centered in my heart each day?
Oh Lord forgive my every mistake
I want to give myself the same break.
Sweet forgiveness on silver white light
Blowing on those changing wind
through my life. Blow through my life.
The universe says, “Be who you are.
You are a miracle born from a star.
Open your heart and let wonder fill your soul.
Feel the power growing strong and taking hold
Watch me unfold.
On those changing winds. The winds are changing
Life goes on and the winds will blow.
What are the choices I make on my way
to keep me centered in my heart each day?
What are the choices I make on my way
to keep me centered in my heart each day?
Closer Than Your Name
You’re having such a hard time. Life is rough. And so insane but
No matter where your road leads you Know that I AM closer than your name.
The grain of truth can be gritty. It can grind you up until you weep.
When honesty isn’t pretty. Know that I AM here to bring you peace.
I’ll bring you peace.
You can run so hard And you can run so far
You can travel into harm And I will find you
I’ll always find you.
When the darkness all surrounds you
In the silence listen to my voice say
When your wings are broken
And your life feels torn apart.)
You can hear love spoken) …
If you listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
You can run so hard And you can run so far
that you travel into harm Still I will find you
I’ll always find you.
In the darkness ….when your wings are broken.)
All surrounds you ….. your life is torn apart
In the silence ….you can hear love spoken.
I can hear you … listen to your heart
When the darkness … when the darkness
All surrounds you … All surrounds you
Love is spoken …. In the silence
I can hear you …I will hear you
‘Cause I’m closer … yes I’m closer
Yes, ‘I’m closer … I’m closer
I’m closer … closer
Somewhere Under The Sun
Somewhere under the sun my love is waiting. Somewhere over the sea my love is waiting
I'll cross the ocean and sand. I'll sail a boat if I can
In our home by the sea my love is waiting. Watching for sails in the sun -- anticipating.
He leaves a light on the quay.. He knows that I am on my way
I sent a bird to my love with my heart With it a promise we never will part
And when we meet we will touch with our eyes Lovers again let the wind hear our sighs
Just a mile down this road my love is waiting. Just a mile down this road my lover dreams of me
Just a mile down this road I hear him singing. I'll run that mile as fast as I can .. because,
Running into my arms my love is laughing. Spinning round in the sun we are laughing
And we two are as one. Once again we are one
I sent a bird to my love with my heart With it a promise we never will part
And when we meet we will touch with our eyes Lovers again let the wind hear our sighs
My Romeo
You read a comic book. I quote Shakespeare
I order food in French and you drink your beer
You drive a rattle-trap. I drive an SL
We come from different worlds. What the hell?
You’re my Romeo, my Romeo. You’re the one I can’t let go
And I want everyone to know you’re my Romeo
Romeo, my Romeo. Hold me close when the lights are low
Music plays and we’re dancing slow.
I’ve got a condo on Maui. Your trailer leaks.
You set the world on fire -- while I critique
You own a lava lamp. I stroll Guggenheim
You sing for your supper, while I fine dine.
Yet you lift my spirits when I’m feeling like a fool.
You tell me I don’t have to live by their rules
You give me hope when it seems the world doesn’t care
Now all I want to do is - --- wake and find you there.
Everybody tells me, That you’re no good
I don’t believe them - Though they say I should
Your heart is good and I know it. Your love is true and you show it
Your name is Joe, but you know you’re my Romeo
Romeo, my Romeo. You’re the one I can’t let go
And I want everyone to know you’re my Romeo
Romeo, my Romeo. Hold me close when the lights are low
Take me to that place ---- we go.
New Shoes
You can’t stop your feet from striking out and traveling.
They will take you any where you want to go.
When it seems your life is just unraveling
Let your head and heart tell you where to go.
Go put your new shoes on and start to kick around
It’s just your old blues that ever held you down
Find something new to do and take a little chance
Put on your new shoes and learn to dance
You know everybody has their share of trouble.
Every trouble has a lesson there to learn. Get it right, get it right yeah-ah
When the road is twisted and uncertain,
Believe there is a change around the turn.
There is no reason for you to hide from your future.
As long as you live your dream is alive; it’s what you came for.
So have the courage to carry on; your heart is strong.
And though the way is long you can do it. You’ll get through it.
Go put your new shoes on and start to kick around
It’s just your old blues that ever held you down
Find something new to do and take a little chance
Stop what you’re doing and head out.
Kick off your blues and get out
There’s a world of wonder waiting there for you.
It’s just waiting there for you.
It’s just waiting there for you.
And all you got to do is put your new shoes on.
Lay It On The Line
Lay it on the line. Tell me how you feel.
You know the words I want to hear
Tell me you love me and that you’ll be true.
Tell me you’ll be there when I need you.
'Cause in this world of trouble true love is hard to find.
So if you really love me lay it on the line.
Lay it on the line. Say it loud and clear.
Your eyes say something that I can’t hear
Tell me you want me and need me deep in the night.
Look me in the eye say “It’s all right.”
Then when I travel, no matter where I roam.
I’ll always come back ‘cause your heart is home.
So, Lay it on the line
