LYRICS
I say yes
I say yes (yes) - to the thing itself
yes (yes) - to the way it works
yes (yes) - what it does
yes yes yes yes - to how to use it
God - Spirit - that’s the Thing Itself
Cause of all creation
origin of everything - it’s what makes me sing
powerful foundation
whatever I’m doing wherever I’m going
it’s the voice that whispers in my ear
I say yes...
through - me - that’s the way it works
principle in action
limitless is what I am - yes I know I can
live in satisfaction
heeding the call - having it all
piece of mind is mine
I say yes...
the channel is wide open - the circuitry’s divine
I’m focused on the positive and mmm that’s fine
the principle is proven - I’m living by the rule
I only see perfection on the pathway of the truth
I say yes...
river song
river song, river song I say yes
rising falling tall and strong
be our roots be our wings
oh river song
sun or the moon - sky grey or blue
thanks for the ever-changing beauty and view
water that lives - and flows under you
creatures that swim and float and fly over you
at work or at play - midnight or noon
worlds of adventure wait in each of your rooms
daylight that sings and dances through you
stillness that fills us up with great gratitude
with all we say - and all we do
may our love together deepen in you
and every time - we gather anew
may our friends and family feel that love too
longing for light
longing for light - searching in darkness
yearning to see I’m home
hoping for light - reaching in darkness
yearning to feel I’m home
praying for light - breathing in darkness
yearning to know I’m home
I’m home...
I surrender
I surrender to the peace - I surrender to the stillness
I surrender to the peace and rest in God
I surrender
I surrender
I am surrendering - to the One
I am surrendering - to the One

I love you (Sheila’s song)
hand in hand when we’re out for a walk
sharing some sweet talk
getaway with a car or a plane
sipping on chilled champagne
cuddle time with a book or a flick
going with your pick
‘til the end and all the way through
this means that I love you
birthday card on your pillow at night
kissing in moonlight
dozen roses any old time
being your valentine
dinner out at an intimate place
holding your sweet face
‘til the end and all the way through
this means that I love you
I understand your point of view
you need to hear the words and often too
AND every day - in all I do
that’s what I’m telling you
dialogue when we disagree
saying I’m sorry
open arms when you’re feeling blue
reminding you what’s true
candlelight by the side of the bed
stroking your forehead
‘til the end and all the way through
this means that I love you
always in my heart
dear friend - it seems too good to be true
can it really be you
come in - and take a load off your feet
I’ll make us something to eat
I’m just delighted
to see your eyes and feel your smile
I love you dearly - you’re always in my heart
always in my heart
tell me - about the people you’ve met
and the places you’ve been
teach me - about the lessons you’ve learned
and the things that you’ve seen
it fills me deeply - to hear your laugh and share your tears
I love you dearly - you’re always in my heart
always in my heart
no matter who you think you are
or what the world may say
I see your goodness shining brightly - namaste
no matter where your journey leads
or how your life unfolds
I’ll always hold your heart
a heartbeat from my own
when you - have told me all you can tell
and shown me all you can show
I’ll be - content to honour the space
and to bask in your glow
I’m truly grateful
for every moment that we share
I love you dearly - you’re always in my heart
always in my heart
no matter who you think you are...
well friend - too quickly after hello
comes another goodbye
thank you - for being the treasure you are
and a light in my life
until the next time
you only need remember this
I love you dearly - you’re always in my heart
always in my heart
a prayer to You
may all that I think and all that I do
be a prayer to You
a prayer to You - a prayer to You
may all that I think and all that I do
be a prayer to You
a prayer to You - my Love
in every face may I see You
In every voice may I hear You
in all that is may this be true
may we be one may I be You
may all that I think and all that I do...
in every breath may I breathe You
in every drop may I taste You
in all that is may this be true
may we be one may I be You
may all that I think and all that I do...
in every touch may I feel You
in every heart may I feel You
in all that is may this be true
may we be one may I be You
may all that I think and all that I do...
be a prayer to You my Love
a prayer to You
jump right in
sittin’ up here on my high horse
sure do like the view
grass looks greener on the other side
don’t know what to do
if i keep all my options open
play it safe and wait
my whole life is gonna pass me by
time to step up to the plate
i’m gonna have to jump right in
yeah i’m gonna jump right in
i’ll have to jump right in to find out i can fly
humpty dumpty sat on a wall
humpty dumpty got a great call
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
couldn’t put humpty back together again
‘cause all they found where he landed
was his shell and his clothes
his transformation was total
where did he get to - i suppose
he had to jump right in
yeah he had to jump right in
he had to jump right in to find out he could fly
i’m scared to jump but you know what they say
you’ve got to feel the fear and do it anyway
i might fall and i might crack
but both feet are in and i’m not turning back
‘cause even if i get busted
or maybe lose my shell
i’ll be a better man for it
with some tales to tell
once i decide to move forward
the universe’ll move too
‘cause it’s not what i do - it’s how i do it
that’s gonna see me through
i’m gonna jump right in
yeah i’m gonna jump right in
i’m gonna jump right in to find out i can fly
to love
in this time and in this place
is the grace to love
with these hands and with this heart
i can start to love
to love - to love - to love
i’ve been bruised and i’ve been burned
still i yearn to love
so i’ll forgive and i’ll forget
pay my debt to love
to love - to love - to love
because love is all there is
ever was and will be
i may win and i may lose
still i’ll choose to love
i may stand and i may fall
still i - i will give all to love
to love - to love - to love - to love
little by little
little by little bit by bit
i’m getting to the heart of it
little by little love is guiding me home
with every step along this path i feel a little lighter
with every lesson that i learn i burn a little brighter
little by little...
and every soul along this road is like a little mirror
in understanding you i see myself a little clearer
little by little...
throughout this journey i’ve been shown
that i am not alone
(solo)
with every thing that i create i grow a little stronger
with every triumph on this trek i’ll go a little longer
little by little...
little by little...
do that thing
play the game - so that everyone’s the same
tow the party line
know the score - so you’re sure of what’s in store
watch for all the signs - yeah
remedy - heard about it on t.v.
it’s the latest thing
surf the net - so you know which one to get
it does everything
that whole scene’s unraveling
whatever feeds your soul (do it)
whatever makes you whole (do it)
whatever makes you feel (do it)
whatever makes you heal (just do it)
whatever makes you sure (do it)
whatever makes you pure (do it)
whatever makes you sing (do it do it) - do that thing
we don’t need - to conform with every deed
we don’t need what’s new
what we need - is to let ourselves be freed
what we need is you
celebrate that thing you do
whatever feeds your soul...
listen up for a minute stop your hurryin’
what you gonna get with all that worryin’
so much to remember - so much to forget
it’s gonna kill you if you aren’t dead yet
so find a way to unwind - and clear your mind
there’ll never be a better place and time
because now is all we have and all there is...
so just do it! do that thing!
that thing that makes you sing!
whatever feeds your soul...
- get outta your head and just do it
get outta your head and into your body
- animate - energize - stimulate - go to it
vitalize - activate - galvanize - just do it
- do what you will but harm none
got to remember the golden rule
and let kindness be your fuel
whatever feeds your soul...
be still
stop - take a break - whatever can wait
allow here and now - to unfold
let wisdom come quietly into your heart
be still and find peace - in your soul
like a seedling in the springtime
ripe and ready on its tree
disconnect from all your worries - and be free
like a gently flowing river
that surrenders to the sea
empty out your expectations
and just be
breathe - contemplate - let all the rest wait...
everything has its own season
everything has its own place
everything has its own purpose - its own grace
like a happy smiling baby
playing with her favourite toy
we are here to know and savour - complete joy
so stop - take a break - whatever can wait...
so stop - and be still
stop - be still
stop
i am walking
i am breathing - i am breathing in and out (2x)
and i'm mindful of the stillness and the million thoughts throughout
mindful of the space between the knowing and the doubt
and i have no destination no place I have to go
the rising and the falling is all there is to note
i am breathing - i am breathing - i am breathing - oh
i am sitting - i am sitting dignified
and i'm mindful of my posture and the straightness of my spine
mindful of a mountain that's connecting earth and sky
and i have no destination...
i am sitting - i am sitting - i am sitting - oh
i am walking - i am walking on this street (2x)
and i'm mindful of the process and the way that it repeats
mindful of the lifting and the placing of my feet
and i have no destination...
i am walking - i am walking - i am walking - oh
i am standing - i am standing on this floor (2x)
and i'm mindful of the blood that's circulating ‘round my core
mindful of its oxygen depleted and restored
and i have no destination...
i am standing - i am standing - i am standing - oh
i am lying - i am lying on the ground (2x)
and i'm mindful of the tension in my muscles winding down
mindful of releasing melting into sacred sound
and i have no destination...
i am lying - i am lying - i am lying - oh
i am breathing...
i can see you
see you...
i can see you (4x)
you made your debut - all shiny and new
your heart and hands open wide
you wore a big grin - and drank it all in
your happiness justified
‘til the king and queen and their final scene
scared away that shine
and i can see you - barely breathing and still
in a tidal wave
i can see you - huddled deep in the dark
of a tiny cave
alone and displaced - you painted your face
and learned how to work the crowd
you mastered the art - of playing it smart
and feelings were not allowed
since the final scene with the king and queen
that’s been your solemn vow
and i can see you - holding court with a smile
and a lonely heart
i can see you - crying under the mask
as you live the part
I think it’s time you had your say
it’s no longer yesterday
you’ll be safe now and i promise
i’ll be with you all the way
you can laugh and sweat and shake
you can cry until you ache
you can kick and scream and fight
you can keep me up all night
i will listen while you do
and remember what is true
that you’re not the one to blame
and it’s time to end the game
‘cause i can see you
breathe
as the cool of evening settles on the bay
and our work is over for the day
come and lay beside me in this quiet space
in my open arms you’ll find a place to
breathe - in my love for you - and the deepening hue
of our union i will
breathe - in your love for me - feel its energy
build divine communion
spooning on our left and swaying like the tide
let the rhythm lead us deep inside
filling every chakra starting with the heart
nurturing our sacred counterpart we
breathe - in my love for you - and the deepening hue
of our union we will
breathe - in your love for me - feel its energy
build divine communion
as our dance progresses with each passing night
feel a growing sense of peace and light
saying yes to love and conquering the fear
seeing our true nature reappear we
breathe...
grateful for the process eager to go on
let us journey onward til we are as one
til we are as one
more than enough
a wise soul from another day
laid bare the simple truth
that all we need to be content
is this
someone to love something to do
and something to hope for
with these three goals your aim
life will be bliss
but human nature’s funny
you live learn and forget
may this song help remind me
when i’m tense and upset
food for my belly - a comfy bed
a gal who loves me - ‘nuff said
it’s not much - but it’s more than enough
my trusty six string - a pad and pen
some inspiration - amen
it’s not much - but it’s more than enough
oh i know some folks say
you won’t be happy ‘til you have a pile of gold
but i have found - you can’t be bound
by everything that you’re told
a heart for lovin’ - a soul to feel
a voice to sing ‘bout - what’s real
it’s not much - but it’s more than enough
(solo)
oh i know some folks say...
got time to ponder - all i possess
all things considered - i’m blessed
it’s not much - but it’s more than enough
it’s not much - but it’s more than enough
just like this
your eyes that shine - your hand in mine
our lips combined - in a sweet kiss
laughing in bed - tears that we shed
things that we’ve said - in moments just like this
all of our mem’ries form a tapestry
whose colours grow richer each day
weaving the you and me into a we
i’ll cherish first last and always
the setting sun - our bodies one
second to none - are moments just like this
(solo)
all of our mem’ries form a tapestry...
the setting sun...
husband and wife - let’s live a life
brimming with moments like this
just like this - just like this
choose love
so many options
it’s a challenge to know where to start
in a world of too many points of view
which one is true
i sought the silence
and the wisdom that once filled my heart
offered peace again like a trusted friend
can often do
it said two roads - are calling out to me
one of danger - one of certainty
so i’ve decided - if it’s fear or love i choose love
only two roads - it comes down to this
one of suffering - one of gentle bliss
i’ve decided - if it’s fear or love i choose love
as sure as sunrise
we are all meant to be on this earth
each an artisan of the master plan
humanity
let’s stand together
and reclaim what’s been ours since our birth
our right to be - you and me
completely
there are two roads - calling out to me
one of danger - one of certainty
i’ve decided - if it’s fear or love i choose love
only two roads - it comes down to this
one of suffering - one of gentle bliss
i’ve decided - if it’s fear or love i choose love
and the more i decide - to make love my guide
the sweeter the ride - that life provides
(solo)
there are two roads...
i’ve decided - if it’s fear or love i choose love
i choose love (3x)
here and now
all the time we have is now
all the place we have is here
all that matters is to live - with open hearts and give
cause all we have is here and now
so in this moment let’s allow
all that’s precious to be clear
cause all that matters is to love - that’s all we’re in need of
and all we have is here and now
if we dare - let go what’s behind us
there’s no telling how light we might feel
let’s reclaim - the fullness of being
and rediscover what’s been concealed
what’s ahead - is nothing but mystery
that all our worry won’t help to reveal
best to be - relaxed in the present
where all our power to make change is real
all the time we have is now...
(all is now - all is here - all is here and - now)
in this breath - is all that’s important
in this heartbeat is all that we need
let’s restore - our lives to the present
and reawaken all that’s set free
tears of joy - and peals of laughter
are both eager for us to say yes
here and now - lie magic and wonder
why would we want to settle for less
all the time we have is now... (all is now...)
so in this moment let’s allow...
(let’s allow - to be clear - all is here and - now)
all that matters is to live - with open hearts and give
cause all we have is here and now (all is here and - now)
here and now (now) (3x)
psalm 96
sing...
sing a new song - a song to the lord
proclaim to all men of his glory
shout all the world - give praise to the lord
creator of heaven and earth
the father is great and worthy of praise
for he is creator of all things
glory and power surround him
beauty fills his temple
sing a new song...
be glad earth and sky - sea roar with your life
be glad you fields and all that you hold
the trees in the woods - will shout for joy
when he comes to rule over all
sing a new song...
sing...
sing a new song - a song to the - lord
