The light in you is the light in me …
Here in this moment, together, everything is new …
Alleluya, Alleluya, Amen, Amen ...
I know a place where life is good, somewhere around this neighbourhood …
Shivaya Namah Shivaya, Shivaya Namah Shivaya ...
Be the blessing and the peace, be at ease on the way …
All the while the children sing: It comes and goes, everyrthing …
Now it’s time to look within …
Where is the love that we share? Here is the love that we share …
We rise we fall, we want to do it all …
Here I Am! Here I Am! Free of endless Joys and sorrows ...
Hey ya Hey Ya Hey ya Hey Ya Hey ya Hey Ya Hey ya Hey Ya …
I am earth, I am air, I am water, I am fire ...
When you feel forsaken, I’ll comfort you …
Ram Rama Hare Hare …
Love and be free. Love and be free. Life is a mystery …
Love because this universe is you in mysterious ways, live your days in love …
Love! Love! Love I call your name. And in Your Joy I will remain I call Your name.
Words tired of their meanings embrace a sleepy lullaby ...
Namo Namah, Namo Namah, Om Hare Jaya Jaya Namo Namah ...
Now is the time to be free ...
Peaceful day, Peaceful way, Peaceful heart come what may.
Satchidananda, Satchidanada OM …
Here among all these places and faces …
There's never quite enough of this, so we keep singing for the Bliss ...
The broken hearted disagree, While merging silently, With everything they see ...
The light reveals our blessed way …
This is Love. This is Love. Rise above the world …
Life never waits to say good-bye, and now I arrive and leave you ...
You’ve been sleepin’ too long …
[ Upbeat rhythm & blues style ]
The light in you is the light in me

VERSE 1
I know a place where life is good,
Somewhere around this neighbourhood
I know a time when time is free
When we can spend it peacefully
That time has arrived, this place is the one
There's love enough for everyone
VERSE 2
Open your mind and you will see,
Only the truth can set you free
Gather your friends and spread the word,
Tell anyone who hasn't heard
The time has arrived, this place is the one
There's love enough for everyone

Amen. Hear those angels singing'
Wake up, get up, stand up for love!

All the while the children sing:
It comes and goes, everything.
’Round and ‘round the end begins,
It comes and goes, everything,
Come and goes.
In sweet surrender you’ll remember endless love.
In sweet surrender you’ll remember endless love.
Peace
© Jarek Czechowicz,
Now it’s time to look with,
The dark is here again.
From winter night to light of spring,
All that ends begins!
Now my love joins your love.
All my love joins your love.
We laugh we cry, we live we die
From first hello to last goodbye
Rise up and shine, your endless light!
Peace

Words tired of their meanings
Embrace a sleepy lullaby
This life shines like a million suns, there's
nothing to be done. Everything is one.

Thoughts tumble over feelings
Dreams wash across an endless sky
This life shines like a million suns, there's
nothing to be done. Everything is one.

ya, Om Namah Shiva - ya -

Eternity greets every day.

nothing to be done. Everything is one.

This life shines like a million suns, there's
nothing to be done. Everything is one.

Peaceful day, peaceful way, peaceful heart, come what may
VERSE 1 (solo)
Look around, at this play of light and sound
What a show, life is all that comes and goes
And it seems, you've been lost in these dreams
CHANT (eveyone)
Peaceful day, peaceful way, peaceful heart come what may
VERSE 2 (solo)
Did you find, your elusive peace of mind
Was it there, can you live without a care?
Tell me this, did you find happiness?

Come along, leave your worries for a song
We're all here, and there's nothing left to fear

Here among all these places and faces
Familiar, loved or forgotten.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Pour out your tears turn the years ever flowing into
Oceans of love and surrender.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Come and rest, rest, rest, rest beside me.
Come and rest, rest, rest, rest beside me.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Always becoming the one and the many,
You’re the lost, the found, and the empty.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Come and rest, rest, rest, rest beside me.
Come and rest, rest, rest, rest beside me.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.
Silence calls you: “Come here and rest beside me”.

Verse 1
The broken hearted disagree,
While merging silently,
With everything they see.
The broken hearted want someone,
Their tears are cast and spun,
like diamonds 'round the Sun.
Chorus
Ha-re Ha-re Kri-shna,
Ha-re Ha-re Ra-ma.
Ha-re Ha-re Kri-shna,
Ha-re Ha-re Ra-ma.
Verse 2
The broken hearted fall asleep,
Forgetting as they weep,
The Joy they long to keep.
The broken hearted look for Peace,
Awaiting its release,
Into thoughts that never cease.
Verse 3
The broken hearted learn to pray,
Resting in the Way,
Upon a timeless day.
The broken hearted sing their chants,
Surrendered to the Dance,
Awake Divine Romance!
