VERSE 1:
My life is a dream
And my dreams are my true life
If I get quiet and listen patiently
I start to feel them and hear them speak to me
CHORUS 1:
All of your longings, yearnings lie here with me
All your desires answered are now to be
In my dreams –
VERSE 2:
And so I step aside
For I can trust my dreams to be my guide
They hold the power to letting my life be free
If I get quiet and hear them speak to me
CHORUS 2: All of your longings …
BRIDGE (in Lithuanian language):
Klausysiu savo svajonių, Savo ilgesių, mano sielos kalbų

VERSE 1:
What will help the world Is if each of us would
Use our ability To transform our energy

Let’s pick joy, our heart’s desire
So we raise our vibration higher
Let’s emerge from where we’ve been immersed
Till we spin into a parallel universe

Ah, it’s a new game but strangely the same
Spinning into a parallel universe
We’ll make things go how we’d like them to now

VERSE 2:
Our frequency’s faster now So it’s getting harder to hold on
To thoughts and behavior That slowed us down for so long

So we raise our vibration higher
Let’s emerge from where we’ve been immersed
Till we spin into a parallel universe

My relationship to all that is
That is all I ever experience
So let me relate to it all – in utter bliss!

We are just travelers in space and in time (Parallel universe)

My soul grasped the full meaning

Phoenix

VERSE 1:
I can’t rise until I fall thoroughly
And I can’t fly until I die.
LIFT 1:
We start out life in a shell
I felt mine breaking down around me
I thought I was going through hell
Instead I found a lighter way to be
CHORUS:
I am a phoenix rising
A servant of the sun
I am a phoenix rising
Must leave the past in ashes, everyone
VERSE 2:
My first flight just might leave me shaking.
Is it because of fragmented shells still on my wing?

There’s nothing left to cling to,
There’s no one else to be

As I let go, I feel my soul set free

VERSE:
Life around us is so colorful
If you want to taste its sweetest fruit
If you want it, you must take the bitter too

We all revolve, revolve around love

For it to come to life, you just let it – go.

INTRO (IN LITHUANIAN):
Lieka tik muzika, Lieka tik muzika,
Lieka tik muzika -- Ji amžina
Viskas praeina nebesugrįžta
Lieka tik muzika, Lieka tik muzika,
Lieka tik muzika --
(TRANSLATION:
All that's left is music (3x)
That is forever
Everything passes and never returns
All that's left is music...)
VERSE 1:
As a child I believed what I was taught about my world
Believed in my priests, in my teachers,
And in my parents – God bless them for all that they didn’t know…
And for what I discovered on my own
CHORUS 1:
There came that fateful day
When all I thought I knew got blown away
Life cut thru me like a blade
And my whole world was changed
VERSE 2:
It took some time to take it in and to get out into this larger world
Believing in myself, in all that I had learned
Thru experience – God bless me for all I hadn’t lived yet…
And for the rest that I still had to get
CHORUS 2 (EXTENDED):
There came that fateful day
When all I thought I’d lived got blown away
Life cut thru another layer
And my whole world again was changed
I thought I had life figured out
I thought I saw a clear way to go
I thought I knew beyond a doubt --
So what do I ever really know?
BRIDGE:
Life is change and worms become butterflies
Snakes shed their skin, some ideas have to die
The greatest empire can crumble away ‘cause
Nothing that’s born on earth can stay the same
INTERLUDE:
Viskas praeina Nebesugrįžta > 2x
(Everything passes and never returns)
So where do I stand?
Lieka tik muzika Ji amžina
(All that's left is music, that is forever)
I stand renewed in every moment, ready for anything –
CHORUS 3:
There came that fateful day Now every moment I am blown away
I’ve become the cutting blade And everywhere I go, the world is changed
There came that fateful day Now every moment I am blown away
I’ve become the cutting blade And everything is changed

Rise
07:38
|
|||
CHORUS:
The higher that we rise
The bigger the picture that comes into view
The farther that we climb
The closer we get to touching the moon
And in this heightened state
Choose what you’d like to create
The higher that we rise
The closer we get to the divine
VERSE:
Animal
But spirit as well
Why choose to crawl
When you can soar above it all
Unlock from your heart
What keeps it apart
From one love, one purpose --
To be all that you are
CHORUS: The higher that we rise...

Evening Prayer
06:12
|
|||
VERSE:
As the twilight falls, the evening sings to me with one voice --
LITHUANIAN BACKGROUND VOCALS:
Susijungiam Diev' su Tavim (TRANSLATION: We unite, God, with Thee)
And I contemplate just how today I used my choice –
Did I take a stand To reveal who I truly am?
Or did I let the world win? Did I give in?
Can I find strength within Once more to begin?
VERSE:
As the nighttime comes, the moon and all the stars shine their light --
And I think of all the things throughout my day that went right --
Oh I know I’ll never be the perfect one
But let me more often than not Be my Higher One
Let me not give in Let me find strength within
Once more to begin
BRIDGE:
So I turn my thoughts to those around me,
Everyone I have ever known -- friends and family.
If we’re hurting now, May I forgive them and they forgive me.
I’m praying that each of their lives be expressing their greatest blessing.
And I give thanks for the whole world
Sending thoughts that the Highest Good
Take place everywhere for everybody -- synchronistically.
VERSE:
As I close my eyes, the crickets’ chirping lulls me to sleep --
I have asked that solutions come to me from the deep --
For my dreams bring me my answers by the dawn,
I wake up to surrender to my Highest One
So I don’t give in So I find strength within Once more to begin.
