     Oh....

We are all poised to drink in the joys
And bask in the what we are
Etheric beings, forces unseen
Bless us from near and from far
The day is at hand when the world sings as one
When brotherly love is routine
Deeper connection, intimacy
Says the Prophecy Celestine
The Prophecy Celestine

Yearning
I don't know why but I keep feeling
Like I've seen you before
Something is happening within
And I just cannot ignore
I was so quiet
I used to be content
But now I'm yearning, yearning for what
I don't know

What a coincidence
That I Am standing here with you
So much in common but so much
That feels so very brand new
There's something happening
Beyond what I can see
And now I'm yearning, yearning for what
I want more

Somehow this doesn't feel like
It's an accident
I can't explain it but my heart and
My life are different
There's something happening
Beyond what I can see
And now I'm learning, learning to flow
I want more

Beneath the sensible
I know there's a pulse calling me
You say you feel it, too
There must be others I know 16
If everybody knew there's so much more to life
They would be turning, turning to Light
By the score

  Everybody hear the voice
  Everybody make the choice
  Everybody now is time|
  To release and realign
  The Universe is handing us the Truth

Be open, trusting to these moments
That come into life
Pay close attention to the people
Who keep passing right by
There's so much wisdom
In what seems common place
Oh, all this learning, learning, learning
In these times

A Stroll Through Time
   Let's take a stroll through time
   A thousand years would be just fine
   Back to the long ago
   Where you and I began
   Let's see the turns we've made
   From Middle Times to Modern Age
   How who we are today so long ago began

Dark Middle Ages, the Church turned the pages
And spoke with insistence of God in the distance
And teased us with Heaven
Controlled us with Hell
Kept us in classes well under their spell
They held out salvation if we toed the line
With God tugging wildly the Devil held on
The Church men interpret and we would respond
For 500 years we were helpless and bending
Till Church men who held that 
Straight B-line to God
Were stealing and lying and living in fraud
In hasty rebellion we ran from the fold
And found ourselves Godless and lonely and cold

   Chorus

Godless we wandered as thinkers they pondered
We turned scientific 'cause so much was "iffy"
Looking for answers not knowing quite where
We turned to exploring and looking out there
In the meantime we snuggled in
To this world we were living in
Hell-bent on survival like runaway horses
We conquered the Earth and 
All her resources
Preoccupied with the gadgets and goods
Our Holy obsession was our livelihood
For 400 years we have ravaged this Earth
Till one day quite recently
Something was birthed
We found some security now we are poised
To enter this time of compassion and joy

   Chorus...where you and I began...

...this greater perspective of where we have been
Helps us to feel it digest it within
Use it as nourishment for these great times
To move ourselves forward with wide open eyes

Energy
  Energy flow through me
  Energy endlessly

The pulse of Heaven
The wave of life
The dance of particles 
Through boundless space and time

  Energy everything
  Energy can be seen

A song of Light and Love
A breath of God
A field of sight and sound
To build the once upon

    Nothing seen is as it seems
    Go deep within go in between
    Shift the focus synchronize
    Be the Truth with open eyes

Symbiosis
Between all forms of life
Expectations can bend and shape
The Living Light

    Nothing seen is as it seems
    Go deep within go in between
    Shift the focus synchronize
    Be the Truth with open eyes

  Energy alchemy
  Energy energy...

Power Hungry
Now listen you've got something that I need
You could say I'm stealin'
You might call it greed
But there's just not enough of it to go around
I want control and I want it now
I need more and more so I can strut and thrive
It's competition only one survives
Power hungry, power mad
I take what I want it's up for grabs

Manipulation is my middle name
I do conflict it's my favorite game
I feel strong and tough when I can dominate
In a struggle for power I don't hesitate
My gut feels knotted my mouth is dry
It's a genuine rush it's a gnarly ride
I'm power hungry, power mad
I take what I want it's up for grabs

  Back and forth the energy rolls
  Push pull to and fro
  Me or you what's to gain?
  Sometimes it feels so, so insane

I'll tell you the truth I'm totally scared
If I don't control I feel lost I swear
I'd like to stop this cycle find a loving way
Not have to defend just be OK
Is there a way I can trust a way to believe
That people aren't there to take my soul from me?
Is there power for one power for all?
Can we live together not live like dogs?

  Chorus

Give In, Give Out
     Give in, give out, give in, give out

There's a never ending river from heaven
Pouring into us each day
If we close our eyes in ignorance
Or throw up our resistance
The river won't flow, no way
So why not dredge the Holy channel 
Make it deep make it wide
Let the manna bring abundance 
To the heart of our lives

    Give in, give out, give in, give out

When the heart is filled with treasure
And we're rolling in the dough
Do we keep all of this goodness inside? No, no
Riches are for sharing 
With our brothers and our sisters
In giving out it's all multiplied 
We're all part of one circle
We keep feeding one another
So take what you need
And freely give the rest away

    Give in, give out, give in, give out

    Everybody grew believing scarcity was true
    So we cling holding on real tight
    Let me remind you right now
    That by giving it away
    We make room for the new
    So let go, oh let go
    Oh let go

    Give in, give out, give in, give out

It may be love you give 
It may food it may be money
It may be the stuff you've saved
It may be hugs or a moment
Or a caring word or two
Or forgiving somebody you hate
It doesn't matter what the form
It's just the giving it away
We send "yeses" back to Heaven
Keep the mighty river flowing
The mighty river flowing, the mighty river flowing

    Give in, give out, give in, give out...

The Party
Look at all these people here
In every size and shape
As different on the outside
As the lines upon each face
Sculpted by the words and deeds
Of those who sold beliefs
Now haunted by a purpose
That awaits discovery
   There's one who plays an island
   In a keep your distance dance
   Over there she's seeking victims
   With her double dare you stance
   While him he's asking questions
   He's digging deep for dirt
   Now she's got hard luck stories
   She's the queen of all who hurt

     They're just doing the dance
     They've always known
     Walking the steps they've all been shown
     Speaking the words not knowing why
     Feeling a hole they can't describe
     One more time, one more time

Like a tender child tugging
It's attention they all crave
The method breeds the madness
Though relief's not far away
Up to the trough it's feeding time
They do the habit thing
Kick and bite for power
Bleeding as they sing
   There's one who deals out daggers
   Through his not-one-step-closer eyes
   While she's so soft and gentle
   She loves it when they cry
   Now him he gives out mystery
   Holds back, till you squirm
   She finds flaws and frailties
   And judges in return

    They're just doing the dance
     They've always known
     Walking the steps they've all been shown
     Speaking the words not knowing why
     Feeling a hole they can't describe
     Trying it on just one more time
     Drinking the same sweet, sour wine
     Feeling the rush that seems so right
     Tasting the pain on the other side
     One more time, one more time

Do you think they're happy
In this day to day today?
What if they knew the reasons
For the choices they have made?
Would they drop the pain they're playing
Consider life anew?
There's just one way to find out
C'mon we've work to do

  Excuse me could we talk
  Excuse me could we talk
  Excuse me could we talk
  For awhile?

Wake Up
Wake up you have been sleeping
Waiting for Light to fall
Longing for something better
Slaving to have it all
Did you listen to your heart?
It beckoned time and time again
And did you hear your Essence call?
As you stand out in the field
Arms reaching for the sun
In an endless moment
Surrender and have it all

Wake up you have been sleeping
dreaming the time away
Fearful of the movement
Clinging to yesterday
Have you listened to your heart?
It beckons time and time again
Did you hear your Essence call?
As you stand out in the field
Arms reaching for the sun
In an endless moment
Surrender and have it all

  Ah....

Wake up you have been sleeping
Open those willing eyes
Heaven lies within you
No more compromise
Won't you listen to your heart?
It beckons time and time again
Won't you hear your Essence call?
Go and stand out in the field
Reach up toward the sun
In an endless moment
Surrender and have it all

  Ah...

Focus
From deep within my body calls the history of me
Begging for expression always seeking clarity
A puzzle made in Heaven
Played out right here on Earth
My dance of evolution
Started long before my birth
A daily dose of progress as I shift one paradigm
Recovering my Holy Self one cell at a time
Listen to my body, focus on one point
Bypass all analysis release the wonder boy

Tune into sensations amidst the worldly noise
Listen with a new intent your birthright here is joy
Every single tingle a message and a clue
It doesn't take much effort friend
Your bod knows what to do
Let your father off the hook, let your mother be
They did the best that they could do
You chose it won't you see?
Freedom comes in buckets like those blessed days of rain
Focus here, focus there, eradicate the pain

   Deeper, deeper let it go darkness into Light
   Courage friend it has to be
   Oneness now in sight
   Threshold of Eternity beckons from the fog
   Focus and step right into the heart and soul of God

No one here needs cancers to remind us why we've come
No one needs leukemia, MS or swollen gums
Disease brings awareness, I cannot deny this truth
But c'mon we know better
God lives in me and you
we're living in a golden time we're crossing every line
We're on the brink of Paradise, we're leaving doubt behind
Focus on what's happening, focus on the Voice
Focus on your holiness, focus on the choice

   Chorus
Copyright 1994.Mark Stanton Welch.

All This Time
Look where we've been, look where we are
Look what our choices have made
Thank God, we've come so far

So it begins, so we move on
Into the mystery calling, into one great beyond

  All this time, we built our cathedral
  All this time, we built our belief
  All this time, we built our reflection
  We built what will be

     We stand on the Power
     We stand on the Light
     We stand on the Word we have spoken
     That God lives in you and in I
     We echo the Wisdom
     We act out of peace
     We reach to each other and open our hearts
     To a Love that won't cease
     All this time

Can you say, "yes"? Can you let go?
Can you embrace what's unfolding?
Can you release what you know?

Each with our mission that's pulling us on
Here in this Unity we can find strength
In our Heavenly bond

   Chorus

The Call
This world is changing, as we are growing
And the feeling that I get is that we're flowing
into the sea of evermore
Where what we are is not ignored
Where I can touch the very core of you

These times are changing, our limits fading
And the majesty of life we are reclaiming
As the wisdom of this Universe
Transforms us people of this Earth
To witness now the grand rebirth of truth

   Hand in hand we take  the first steps
   On the mighty wings of love
   We shall rise with hearts aflame
   And we shall build this house together
   Bring the peace to those who call
   In our sacred home unfold  to fly
   So high above our fall
   One and all in love together
   In the Light together
   Changing lives forever
   One and all
   This is the call

Our hearts are changing we are shining
We are beacons being groomed to light the way
With the power rearrange this world
As messengers of love we'll hurl
The truth to let the joy unfurl today
