1.
Sails on the horizon Sea-spray on the wind Standing in the land Of my kin The rush of ocean waves And the lure of foreign tides My brother stands beside me In music we confide I call to a distant shore And the wind, it has my answer My mind, it cannot fathom How deep is the water? Sands of time are shifting The sunlight peaking through Heart of sea is beating against Mountains of faded blue I call to a distant shore And the wind, it has my answer My mind, it cannot fathom How deep is the water?

Incandescent 03:08
Resonant song My love for you is strong Strength to overcome When the love is gone Music and the fire Love and love's desire Heartbeat of the earth Smoke is rising higher War, waged within the mind Spirit, we are intertwined Confusion Heart is going blind Hesitating On the path to being kind You are a gift But you are not mine Incandescent Piece of the divine War, waged within the mind Spirit, we are intertwined

Medicine 02:46
I poison myself and its been too long I do what I need to remain strong The love that I give is less than I receive I know in my heart its not how it should be I sing to the wind God, I need my medicine Believe I would bleed for my kin But my blood is still full of poison I lie to myself and it keeps me up at night I'll do what I need for my spirit to fly I sing to the wind God, I need my medicine Believe I would bleed for my kin But my blood is still full of poison Earthbound, looking to the sky Knowing one I shall die And fly with eagles And dance with angels Surrounded by Aurora And swimming in love

Firebird 02:19
First there was a knot in my heart Then there was a fault in my art Then I wandered up the hill But my heart was knotted still Then I saw a firebird Made of light and colour Flying across the sky Filling my eyes with wonder First everything was grey Everything felt the same Then I wandered up the hill And began to smell the rain Then I saw a firebird Made of light and colour Flying across the sky Filling my heart with wonder I find myself in awe of your glory In the falling of the leaves Creation's unfolding story Between the wind and the sea
6.
Vision 02:51
Trees are breathing I breathe in Song of the intricate I feel it Water weaves within life I need it Pictures and patterns of paradise Found within Widen your vision Out to the sea Open your heart Dance in the garden Wild, savage, free The leaves nourish the roots The roots nourish the leaves As the heart speaks to the mind My soul is the tree Widen your vision Out to the sea Open your heart Dance in the garden Wild, savage, free My spirit is the force that nurtures or neglects Creatures and creation, I am bound to reflect Listen to the water and the distant thunder How can you truly live without a sense of wonder?

Storm 02:32
