A TOUCH OF YOUR INNERMOST If you let your eyes open
and you let yourself see
you will know what you are
you will know what to be
in a touch of your innermost
so tender and sweet
that you bow down in love
and lay your head at its feet
When you open your heart
and you simply say yes
giving rest to your struggles
then you are truly blessed
by a touch of your innermost
so tender and sweet
that you bow down in love
and lay your head at its feet
As reality beckons
In the stillness inside
there's the first light of dawn
it's the end of the night
in a touch of your innermost
so tender and sweet
that you bow down in love
and lay your head at its feet
LETTING GO
Letting go into the flow of the river
Listening to the still small voice of my heart
Letting go into the love of existence
It is life itself, inside of me, that is calling
This is my home, this is where I belong,
life itself inside of me is my guide
I don't know everything 'bout tomorrow
Yesterday is a memory in my mind
Here and now, relaxing into my being
I gently merge with the peace inside and I know
This is my home, this is where I belong,
life itself inside of me is my guide
I KNOW SOMETHING
I know something so exquisite
to water and to nourish
I know something so sweet
that grows in my heart
I know something so real
that grows inside in silence
I know, that it moves
and grows in my life
I know it is true...
I know that we are one being
in this world of many forms
I know that love is real
and that I'm the peace within
I know that we can know this
and be this and express this
when the heart is quiet
when the heart is still
I know it is true...
JUST LIKE A CHILD
Just like a child I am full of wonder
a delicate and pure delight
It's like the sunrise so new every morning
a tender flame burning clear and bright
There's such delight on this path to nowhere
such sweet delight in the here and now
in every breath I take, in every move I make
O-o-oOM-m-m
There is delight in the deepest darkness
an open heart, true and still
Restfulness in quiet knowing
letting go of misuse of will
There's such delight...............
And when the light is strong and flowing
everything being such a thrill
The heart is staying simply open
taking nothing, truer still
There's such delight....................
Just like a child I am full of wonder
a delicate and pure delight
It's like the sunrise so new every morning
it is a flame burning clear and bright
There's such delight on this path to nowhere
such sweet delight in the here and now
in every breath I take, in every move I make
O-o-oOM-m-m A HEART THAT DOESN'T BREAK You say the pain is by far too much
You say I don't understand
that I don't know what you're going through
the suffering at hand
And even though I sympathize
and really truly care
inside my heart is a clarity
that I would like to share
A Heart That Doesn't Break
is a heart that will always ache
for freedom and unboundedness
true intimacy and tenderness
Surrender your heart to openness
do not resist the pain
Pain is a simple fact of life
fighting it is in vain
By letting the pain into the heart
it's breaking through the crust
Emerging in the vulnerability
is a never ending trust
A heart that doesn't break....
The breaking of the heart is there
to help the shell dissolve
for the heart to regain its innocence
to help the heart evolve
into love not based in want and need
love not based in misery
a delicate love that is free to be itself
strong in its fragility
A heart that doesn't break....
LOVE INVITES
Now I know I can be
Everything calms down
Being received I receive myself
and put my feet on the ground
Love reveals what I can be
Love recreates me
Love invites me finally to be here
Such a sweet and tender
dear reality
How could I not surrender
to be free
Now I know what to be
with certain and clear delight
Something not needed, given freely
How could I not receive
Love reveals what I can be
Love recreates me
Love invites me finally to be here
NOW IS THE TIME
Now is the time to dance, now is the time to fly
Not asking how and not asking why
Knowing it's time to spread the wings
and fly into this unknown sky
Joy and freedom, clear blue sky
Joy of being, rising high
Now is the time to sing, letting the voice ring clear
Feet on the ground and hands in the air
Living a life without any fear
Flowing with the mystery
Joy and..........
Now is the time to be celebrating life
This very movement, this very moment
Living in the here and now
Trusting this reality
Joy and..........
BELOVED FRIEND
You're the beloved friend of my heart
how it has happened, I do not know
Your fragrance calls me and I come closer
breathing your silence and drinking your love
You're a reflection of my true nature
Looking into you, I'm knowing me
Seeing, then being and then becoming
all of myself so lovely and free
IN THIS GARDEN OF LOVE
In this garden of love
there's a beautiful flower
A flower of innocense
with a fragrance so sweet
In this garden of love
there's a beautiful flower
with the power of love
in itself so complete
Here in this presence
growing softer and softer
I'm melting with life
without any fear
In this garden of love
there's a beautiful flower
The flower is you
and I feel you so near
THERE'S A SECRET I'M LEARNING
There's a secret I'm learning
it is simple and clear
if just we would listen
if only we could hear
It is right there in front of us
for everyone to see
Everyday getting clearer
and clearer to me
Everything is all right
Everything is all right
It always was and it always will be
Everything is all right
Everything is all right
Come back home inside yourself and you will see
The Buddhas of ages
all say the same
To drop the seeking
for riches and fame
To relax all becoming
To stop up and see
The one we already are
is the only one to be
Everything is all right …

TRAVELLING
I've been travelling a long, long time
it seems like eternity
I've been lost and gone astray
now it's all coming back to me again
You are opening up my heart
you are giving me eyes to see
It's such a joy to be back again
back again in my home in the here and now
After looking everywhere outside
trying to find what would satisfy
My deepest longing, my hearts desire
Is fulfilled in the stillness of what I am inside
THE SEED HAS WAITED
The seed has waited
patient and silent
deep in darkness, underground
Waiting its moment
and now it has come
The shell is broken nowhere to be found
The ice has melted
the rivers are flowing
The flowers flower
Spring has come
Spread your wings
it is time for flying
Now is the time
to touch the sun
We have been waiting
patient and silent
knowing nothing with nothing to know
Waiting and trusting
and now is the time
to stand in the open sharing our love
The ice has melted....
AS WE WAKE UP
As we wake up
to the rising sun
aware of
the morning inside
we can get up
and let the new man express
there's no need at all to hide
Soft eyes opening
it is time to enjoy
our bodies moving
as we dance in the sun
waking up now
letting go of the old
rejoicing that the new dawn has come
WHY NOT STOP LOOKING
Why not stop looking for the far away horizon
Living is always in the here and now
A soft breeze flowing, a sunset or a sunrise
A meeting with a friend as a sudden surprise
A bird on the wing happy to fly
A smile on a face, love in the eye
A silent cloud moving across the sky
What more do we want?
What more can we ask?
There is so much joy in being in this moment
everything's included in the here and now
Sometimes in the darkness, sometimes in the sunlight
Always underneath it all, the heart is shining bright
Just give it a try, sitting in peace
closing your eyes, moving inside
The breath slowing down, everything at ease
What more do we want?
What more can we ask?
DEEP INSIDE THE HEART
Deep inside the heart at the source of life
in the silence there is music
It's a whispering, a song of love
a dance of joyous celebration
There're no questions and no answers
words are withering away
Leaving us in wonder
with nothing left to say
Only singing and dancing
only singing and dancing...
Only singing and dancing with you
GIVING LOVE A CHANCE
All is welcome here as we sing and dance
We're joining hands and joining hearts
Giving love a chance
We're giving love a chance
All colours of the rainbow merging in this dance
We're sharing one heart and sharing one being
Giving love a chance
We're giving love a chance
La, la, la ...............
TIGHTROPE MAN
I am a tightrope man
walking on a razor's edge
I am a tightrope man
walking on a razor's edge
Leaning to the left
leaning to the right
Right in the middle
is the eagles flight
I am a tightrope man
walking on a razor's edge
I am a tightrope man
walking on a razor's edge
I am a tight rope man
walking on a razor's edge
On the wings of love
I'm flying high
Flying like an eagle
in the empty sky
I am a tightrope man
walking on a razor's edge
ALL BY ITSELF THE GRASS GROWS
Silently sitting relaxed and in peace
Deeper and deeper the heart is at ease
Nothing to do, no need to fight
Life's moving on and easy is right
Seasons change, night follow day
spring comes, with no delay
No need to push, the river flows
All by itself the grass grows
BOWING DOWN IN GRATITUDE
Bowing down in gratitude
The silence and the presence
is filling every nook and corner
of the universe
How I love to sing it's song
and delight in dancing it
Being what I truly am
Being what I truly am
Being what I truly am
enjoying this life
CHERRY BLOSSOMS
Exquisite and lovely
it is springtime, it's May
See the cherry blossoms dancing
in the wind they play
There's no fuss and no fear
simply joy and sweet delight
Cherry blossoms on a cherry tree
just being what they are
When the wind stops, in the stillness
fragile and strong
cherry blossoms on a cherry tree
naked in the sun
Petals soft and open,
delicate and new
Tender blossoms on a sturdy tree
rooted in the ground
MELTING INTO LOVE
For a long time I was wanting
to be going elsewhere
Now I know for certain
that we are to be here
just melting into love
just melting into love
just melting into love
In this body is the Buddha
eternally at rest
The gentled heart of Christ is
in tender openness
just melting into love...
In the ocean of this silence
love is growing wild
the eyes are full of wonder
there's once again a child
just melting into love
just melting into love
just melting into love
