Dreamworld

Have you ever heard a song, that spun your world like a top?
And as your thoughts came to a stop, the sunlight on your face was smiling.
I’ve been in my shell like a turtle, the ocean waves tossing me,
But my heart cries to be free, and now my spirit’s climbing.
[This whole life is a dream and I am awaking,
These wings are for shaking the hurt from my bones.
Those visions I’ve had when my heart is on fire,
And I can’t get much higher is where I call home.]
When I was a boy I watched and I waited,
I anticipated the stories I’d tell.
Though now I’m a man, my world is still magic,
And sadness just don’t stick cause that boy is still alive.
And my dreams they look out, at the world through my eyes.
[This whole life is a dream and I am awaking,
These wings are for shaking the hurt from my bones.
Those visions I’ve had when my heart is on fire,
And I can’t get much higher is where I call home.]
Where I call home ain’t got no time or place,
It’s more of a psychological space.
When I’m there with you or all alone,
It feels like nothing in my world is wrong.
Have you ever had a dream that woke you up to the world?
And as your sails start to unfurl, the sun shines out on the horizon.
I have dreamt of you in my arms, but you are more than a dream;
And as far as you sometimes seem, I know our hearts are in alignment.
[This whole life is a dream and I am awaking,
These wings are for shaking the hurt from my bones.
Those visions I’ve had when my heart is on fire,
And I can’t get much higher is where I call home.]

You've Got the Glow
03:09

You’re the anchor of the world,
Sparks seem to shimmer in your hair,
And deep inside me drums begin to play.
I watch you while you speak,
And something seems to lift,
My thoughts to worlds of magic, worlds of love.
[You’ve got the glow I’ve rarely seen.
And your eyes speak of times that will soon come.
You’ve got the glow I’ve rarely seen.
And being near you is like dancing with the sun.]
Your beauty has no start,
No quintessential part.
Your lines roll easily on the tide of reality.
Yet there’s the overall effect,
That perfection has been met;
And her love can make the world perfected, too.
[You’ve got the glow I’ve rarely seen.
And your eyes speak of times that will soon come.
You’ve got the glow I’ve rarely seen.
And being near you is like dancing with the sun.
You’ve got the glow I’ve rarely seen.
And now it feels like the new day has begun.]

Cloud City
05:10

I once knew a man, who lived a secret life.
And every day he kissed good night to his wife.
But when he lay down, in the dark of the night
He drifted towards the clouds like the wind beneath a kite.
[For the Cloud City, it lies up above and you see it most clearly when dreaming of love.
In the Cloud City, we know who we are,
It’s a place where the rainbows shine over the stars.]
And every night he flew on the wings of his dreams.
Soaring with the mountains, skipping over streams.
And many are flying, as they gather round.
Many are singing for the secret they’ve found.
[chorus]
Can you see that life is more than we can ever know?
We leap into the sun’s embrace, then tumble down below.
And there will come a day, when the dreamers awake.
And there will be beauty just for beauty’s sake.
So now when you sleep, remember these words,
And visit the land of the golden winged birds.
[chorus]
In the Cloud City, love shows you the way.
And the light in your heart fills the night and the day.
And the Cloud City, is all in your mind…
When you understand this, it’s easy to find.

Boyhood Friendship
03:41
|

|
Moonlight shining on a mountain path,
There’s a fox smiling at the sky;
And it seems to smile back hi.
I can hear you humming a tune that you borrowed from a robin;
We heard it deep in the forest.
[You’re my best friend and you make me laugh,
you’re the queen and I’m your king.
Sometimes the world makes me feel small and scared but with you I’m always heard…
And when we talk, we fill the space with our magic words.]
You told me you saw a fairy,
It danced right by your eye. And I thought I could guess why.
Sometimes a friend like you exists, I read about you in my stories.
But now I’m sharing in your glories…
And the boy in my skin wants to dance and then sing
For the beauty that is before me.
[You’re my best friend and you make me laugh,
you’re the queen and I’m your king.
Sometimes the world makes me feel small and scared but with you I’m always heard…
And when we talk, we fill the space with our magic words.]

Eyes to the Sunrise
03:25
|

I’m up early in the morning, got an itch to jump about.
And those questions that have plagued me, seemed to sort themselves all out.
I can’t count on this feeling holding on until tomorrow….
But give me just this moment and watch how far I go!
[I’ve got my eyes turned towards the sunrise!
And the golden light’s reflecting… on the road that lay ahead.
It seems that fate is now on my side!
And there’s nothing you can’t do… when this song is in your heart.
Though the deck is stacked and you’re on your back today’s a brand new start!]
There ain’t a rollercoaster to match this one sweet life.
Down today and up tomorrow, sure as darkness in the night.
If you live from your fears then your tears fall like rain!
Today’s the day to change the rules invent a whole new game!
[Chorus]
Sometimes you’re tryin’ to be cool, you end up looking like a clown.
Sometimes you look up at the sky and you see clouds from all around.
But just remember one thing when life’s got you on the ground!
For those who stick to what they think, your day will come around!
[Chorus]

Looking In
02:29

Almonds in a sea of your serenity,
It seems that your eyes are much more than beauty – You see me.
I’m shy in the face of your rosy blush, you are an angel and all of my demons at once: You are a secret.
I feel the sun searching the room, though the day outside is gray because…
It wants to shine for you too:
Be the light in your hair, I want to promise you the world.
Close this moment off from the noise and the fears:
But they give you life.
And beneath your perfect smile and eternal eyes,
I can hear the brook rustle that runs through everything.
Quench this thirst. Make my song the first.
Almonds in a sea of your serenity,
It seems that your eyes are much more than beauty – You see me.
I’m shy in the face of your rosy blush, you are an angel and all of my demons at once: You are a secret.

Goddess Worship
03:56
|
|||
|
When she dances, stars shift and wobble in their orbits;
She can hear the music of the spheres.
My dreams have clung in my confusion and my fear to her breath…
With a word she creates, her instinct is to liberate.
[Oh tell me, do you know the source of life?
You miss her when you call her Adam’s wife.
Surrender to her mystery, and you shall know divinity,
She is the mother of all gods, and her magic is femininity.]
Do you long to be free? Do you dream of life lived in harmony?
Just listen to your heart’s command, and you will find the promised land.
My life seems to be, the loose knit thread of some grand tapestry.
And I wonder what divides us, when her love for all strives to unite us.
[Oh tell me, do you know the source of life?
You miss her when you call her Adam’s wife.
Surrender to her mystery, and you shall know divinity,
She is the mother of all gods, and her magic is femininity.]
Your thoughts create your life. Are you a teacher of joy or an instrument of strife?
When you decide to change the world, then the sacred dream will soon unfurl.
These words can only fumble… Like a child explaining the genetic code.
But to celebrate her incompletely is still a sort of poetic victory.
[Oh tell me, do you know the source of life?
You miss her when you call her Adam’s wife.
Surrender to her mystery, and you shall know divinity,
She is the mother of all gods, and her magic is femininity.]

Most Amazing World
04:14

Try on this idea with me, you can be what you want to be.
You can scramble up a branch like a chimpanzee or teach your dog to play frisbee.
Maybe you’ll climb on a camel’s hump, decide you’ll teach it how to jump.
Then it gets scared and you’re thrown for a bump,
But don’t stop playing cause of just one lump.
If you can state it, you can create it.
This game is pretty fun, so why not play it?
[This game is called your life, you’re the only one who plays it right.
Whether you’re a boy or girl, you’re the magic child of a most amazing world.]
This life can be a lot of fun, if you dance in the rain or sing in the sun.
Make a lot of friends, be nice to everyone. If you love the world, then you have won!
If you listen to your heart, you’ll know you can play any part.
Be proud of who you are, and you’ve made a start.
Lie down in the grass, feel the Earth’s great heart.
[This game is called your life, you’re the only one who plays it right.
Whether you’re a boy or girl, you’re the magic child of a most amazing world.]
Maybe you’ve got a song to sing, a story to tell, or a bell to ring!
You like to run, or look at the stars, take care of your brother or fix up cars!
If you can state it, you can create it. This game is pretty fun, so why not play it?
You are a gift no one understands, not the smartest woman or the tallest man.
Cry, laugh, and dream, but be who you are,
and no matter what you do you will shine like a star!
[This game is called your life, you’re the only one who plays it right.
Whether you’re a boy or girl, you’re the magic child of a most amazing world.]
