Endless Love

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LOVE, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LIFE
ARE YOU SEARCHING TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU’RE HIDING INSIDE IT’S TIME TO HEAL?
JUST LET GO, ALLOW YOURSELF TO COME ALIVE
TO BE REAL, TO TOUCH HOW YOU FEEL

MIND BODY AND SPIRIT IN PERFECT HARMONY
MIND BODY AND SPIRIT, THAT’S THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE
SO OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR MIND
OPEN YOUR EYES AND FLY FREE
WHEN WE’RE MIND BODY AND SPIRIT
WE’RE ONE WORLD, WE’RE ONE FAMILY

TAKE A MOMENT TO STOP, TAKE A MOMENT TO LEARN
TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIFE YOU CAN CHANGE
THE SEEDS OF YOUR FUTURE ARE PLANTED DEEP WITHIN
GROW IN STRENGTH, WITH FRIENDS TO GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY
JUST BEGIN TO LET YOURSELF WIN

MIND BODY AND SPIRIT IN PERFECT HARMONY
MIND BODY AND SPIRIT, THAT’S THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE
SO OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR MIND
OPEN YOUR EYES AND FLY FREE
WHEN WE’RE MIND BODY AND SPIRIT
WE’RE ONE WORLD, WE’RE ONE FAMILY

WE’RE TRAVELLERS TOGETHER, A GLOBAL ONE-WORLD BAND
AND WE ALL STAND FOREVER HAND IN HAND, LAND TO LAND
(TAKE MY HAND)

MIND BODY AND SPIRIT IN PERFECT HARMONY
MIND BODY AND SPIRIT, THAT’S THE WAY IT’S MEANT TO BE
SO OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR MIND
OPEN YOUR EYES AND FLY FREE
WHEN WE’RE MIND BODY AND SPIRIT
WE’RE ONE WORLD, WE’RE ONE FAMILY

THE SOUND OF THE OCEAN SIGHS ON THE REEF
WITH THE SCREAM OF THE EGRETS WINGING TO SLEEP
AND THE WHISPERING PALMS TELL A STORY SO OLD
TO THE CORAL WHITE SANDS AS MY SECRETS UNFOLD
AND THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, SHE IS RIDING THE SKY
IN REGAL PROCESSION AND SWEET LULLABY

A BEAM OF PURE ENERGY FLOWS FROM HER CORE
A SHIMMERING PATHWAY FROM HEAVEN TO SHORE
A THOUSAND SMALL CANDLES ARE FLOATING THE WAVES
LIKE THE SOULS OF LOST SAILORS FROM WATERY GRAVES
AND THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT TURNS HER POWER ON FULL
WHILE EARTH AND HER CREATURES ARE SLAVES TO HER PULL

I’M DRINKING THE MOON, MERCURY BRIGHT
TASTING THE NECTAR OF SILVER AND WHITE
I’M DRINKING THE MOON, AWAKENING DREAMS
BATHING MY SOUL IN LUMINOUS STREAMS

AND MY PRAYER IS TO GATHER THAT POWER WITHIN
THE ESSENCE OF PURITY WHERE I BEGIN
LIGHT OF THE HEAVENS, POUR OVER MY FACE
FILLING THIS VESSEL WITH WISDOM AND GRACE
ANCIENT HER MYSTERY, AGELESS HER MIGHT
AND I AM A GRAIL FOR THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

I’M DRINKING THE MOON, MERCURY BRIGHT
TASTING THE NECTAR OF SILVER AND WHITE
I’M DRINKING THE MOON, AWAKENING DREAMS
BATHING MY SOUL IN LUMINOUS STREAMS

WRAPPED IN A CLOAK OF LONELINESS
PRAYING FOR A DREAM
SILENCE HOLDS ME HIGH UPON THE HILL
EMPTY MIND AND EMPTY BELLY
ONE LAST DAYLIGHT GLEAM
WAITING FOR MY WANDERING TO BE STILL

I HAVE EYES BUT I DO NOT SEE
I HAVE EARS BUT I DO NOT LISTEN
I TOUCH BUT I CANNOT FEEL
I AM CRYING FOR A VISION, I AM CRYING FOR A VISION

SPIRITS OF THE WINDS AND CLOUDS
WHISPERINGS OF THE TREES
SACRED SOUNDLESS VOICES SPEAK TO ME
LISTENING WITH OPEN HEART, LOOKING WITH MY MIND
I CLOSE MY EYES THAT I MAY CLEARLY SEE

I HAVE EYES BUT I DO NOT SEE
I HAVE EARS BUT I DO NOT LISTEN
I TOUCH BUT I CANNOT FEEL
I AM CRYING FOR A VISION, I AM CRYING FOR A VISION

IF YOU NEVER HAD A VISION, WHO ARE YOU?
IF YOU NEVER HAD A QUEST, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
IF YOU NEVER SEARCHED TO FIND THE PATH
YOU’LL TRAVEL TO THE END
THEN A GIFT IS YOURS THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR FEAR
YES A GIFT IS YOURS THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR FEAR

LOOKING DOWN UPON THE EARTH, I FLY ON WINGS OF SOUL
RAINBOW COLOURS SPREAD ACROSS THE SKY
BREATHING IN THE VISION, I AM MORE THAN WHO I AM
PLANTED IN THE EARTH AND SPIRIT HIGH

WE HAVE EYES BUT WE DO NOT SEE…
WE HAVE EARS BUT WE DO NOT LISTEN
WE TOUCH BUT WE CANNOT FEEL
WE ARE CRYING FOR A VISION, WE ARE CRYING FOR A VISION…..

FOR NINETY-SIX YEARS WITH THE BRIGHTEST OF SPIRITS
SHE LIVED IN THE VILLAGE THAT GAVE HER LIFE BIRTH
WITH LOVE AND HUMILITY, EYES FILLED WITH LAUGHTER
SHE GREW INTO WOMANHOOD CLOSE TO THE EARTH
AND SHE MARRIED HER SWEETHEART BUT BORE HIM NO CHILDREN
SO SHE GAVE OF HER LOVE TO ALL THOSE WITHIN SIGHT
AND THAT LOVE RETURNED HOME TO THE SOUL OF YOUNG LISA
IGNITING A FLAME THAT BURNED CLEAR AND UPRIGHT

OH MY HOME IS MY HEART AND MY HEART BELONGS HERE
IN THIS HOUSE, IN THE VILLAGE THAT I HOLD SO DEAR
NO AND NOTHING WILL MOVE ME, NOT FLOOD, STORM NOR FEAR
SO FOR LISA CERNUTA, PRAY SHED NOT A TEAR

THE SEASONS THAT TURNED TOOK HER HUSBAND IN PASSING
LEFT LISA ALONE THIRTY YEARS OR MORE
BUT HER KINDNESS AND WISDOM, SMALL DEEDS OF ASSISTANCE
BROUGHT THE SPIRIT OF LOG TO HER WIDE-OPEN DOOR
IT WAS DEEP IN NOVEMBER, THE YEAR WAS TWO THOUSAND
ON MANGRT A RIVER OF MUD BOILED HIGH
WHEN THE WARNING RANG OUT:
“LEAVE YOUR HOMES, LEAVE THE VILLAGE
THE MOUNTAIN IS MOVING. IF YOU STAY – YOU WILL DIE!”

OH MY HOME IS MY HEART AND MY HEART BELONGS HERE
IN THIS HOUSE, IN THE VILLAGE THAT I HOLD SO DEAR
NO AND NOTHING WILL MOVE ME, NOT FLOOD, STORM NOR FEAR
SO FOR LISA CERNUTA, PRAY SHED NOT A TEAR

AT FIVE PAST THE MIDNIGHT, A TORRENT OF MUDSLIDE
SMASHED DOWN ON THE VILLAGE AND LISA IN SLEEP
AND THE LAND THAT FOR NINETY-SIX YEARS HAD SUSTAINED HER
CLAIMED HER LIFE BACK AS IT BURIED HER DEEP
BUT THE SPIRIT OF LOG LIVES ETERNAL IN LISA
AND SIX OTHER VILLAGERS LOST ON THAT NIGHT
FOR SHE KNEW WHO SHE WAS AND SHE FOLLOWED HER VISION
IN THE MOMENT OF DEATH, SHE AFFIRMED HER BIRTHRIGHT

OH MY HOME IS MY HEART AND MY HEART BELONGS HERE
IN THIS HOUSE, IN THE VILLAGE THAT I HOLD SO DEAR
NO AND NOTHING WILL MOVE ME, NOT FLOOD, STORM NOR FEAR
SO FOR LISA CERNUTA, PRAY SHED NOT A TEAR
FOR LISA CERNUTA WALKED ON THROUGH HER FEAR….
FOR NINETY-SIX YEARS, WITH THE BRIGHTEST OF SPIRITS

Music & Lyrics: Copyright Shirlie Roden

WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE NIGHT LIKE A CHILD THAT’S CRYING
AND THE WORLD DOESN’T CARE IF YOU’RE LIVING OR DYING
JUST REACH OUT TO THAT PLACE WHERE YOUR JOURNEY BEGAN
AND TOUCH THE MEMORY OF YOUR DIVINE PLAN
FOR YOU ARE ETERNAL, AND THE FLAME THAT IS YOU NEVER DIES

WE’RE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS
LOVE THAT’S NEVER OUT OF REACH
PURE LOVE THAT BLAZES TRAILS
WE ARE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT CANNOT DIE
ETERNALLY WE’RE HELD BY ENDLESS LOVE IN YOU AND I

THERE IS LOVE THAT BRINGS JOY
THERE IS LOVE THAT GROWS TENDER
THERE IS LOVE THAT WILL BURN YOU WITH ITS LAST DYING EMBER
BUT THE LOVE THAT WE NEED N O-ONE ELSE CAN FULFILL
LET GO AND SURRENDER TO THE DIVINE WILL
FOR WE ARE ETERNAL, AND THE LIGHT OF OUR SOUL NEVER DIES

WE’RE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS
LOVE THAT’S NEVER OUT OF REACH
PURE LOVE THAT BLAZES TRAILS
WE ARE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT CANNOT DIE
ETERNALLY WE’RE HELD BY ENDLESS LOVE IN YOU AND I

AND WE SPEND OUR WHOLE LIVES SEEKING PERFECTION
WHEN THE TRUTH IS IN OUR SOUL CONNECTION
FOR WE ARE ETERNAL & NOTHING ON EARTH CAN BREAK THE TIES

WE’RE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS
LOVE THAT’S NEVER OUT OF REACH
PURE LOVE THAT BLAZES TRAILS
WE ARE ENDLESS LOVE, LOVE THAT CANNOT DIE
ETERNALLY WE’RE HELD BY ENDLESS LOVE IN YOU AND I

TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS
I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT POSITIVE PEOPLE
I WANT TO FEEL THOSE GOOD VIBRATIONS, I WANT TO BE INSPIRED
TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS – CELEBRATE THE HUMAN SPIRIT
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOOD AND WHO DID IT
GOOD NEWS IS REQUIRED

WHERE ARE THE HEROES? SHOW ME THE BRAVE HEARTS
TELL ME THE STORIES OF THE CARING AND THE WISE
THERE’S SUCH A POWER IN EVERY WORD
SO LET INTEGRITY BE HEARD
AND THE TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE LIGHT UP THE SKIES

TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS
I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT POSITIVE PEOPLE
I WANT TO FEEL THOSE GOOD VIBRATIONS
I WANT TO BE INSPIRED
TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS – CELEBRATE THE HUMAN SPIRIT
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOOD AND WHO DID IT
GOOD NEWS IS REQUIRED

GIVE ME THE HEADLINES WITH HAPPY ENDINGS
SHOW ME THE MOVIES WHERE PEACE IS BREAKING OUT
TURN UP THE VOLUME ON THE SONGS
CELEBRATING RIGHTS, NOT WRONGS
CHOOSE THE MESSAGES OF HOPE SO THERE’S NO DOUBT

TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS etc.

IF WE’RE ONE GREAT GLOBAL BRAIN
NOW’S THE TIME TO THINK AGAIN
SWITCH THE PROGRAMME – TUNE INTO LOVE, NOT FEAR
WEAVE A WEB IN CYBERSPACE OF ONE AMAZING HUMAN RACE
IN PERFECT HARMONY – THAT’S WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR

TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS
I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT POSITIVE PEOPLE
I WANT TO FEEL THOSE GOOD VIBRATIONS, I WANT TO BE INSPIRED
TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS – CELEBRATE THE HUMAN SPIRIT
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S GOOD AND WHO DID IT
GOOD NEWS IS REQUIRED, GOOD NEWS IS REQUIRED
GOOD NEWS IS REQUIRED. TURN ON THE GOOD NEWS!

SURRENDER TO THE HIGHEST WITHIN YOU
SURRENDER TO THE LIGHT OF YOUR HEART
SURRENDER EVERY CELL, EVERY BREATH THAT YOU TAKE
IN THE MOMENT YOU CUT LOOSE AND BREAK APART
SURRENDER THE HALF AND BECOME THE WHOLE
SURRENDER BODY AND SOUL

OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER, OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER…..

SURRENDER ALL THE MEMORIES FROM CHILDHOOD
WHEN NO-ONE SHARED THE LOVE YOU STILL NEED
SURRENDER TO THE TEARS OF THE WILDERNESS YEARS
WHEN YOU SILENTLY ALLOWED YOUR HEART TO BLEED
SURRENDER THE HURT FROM THIEVES WHO STOLE
SURRENDER BODY AND SOUL

OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER, OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER….

SURRENDER TO THE STILL SILENT HOURS
SPENT WANDERING THROUGH THE MAZES OF YOUR MIND
SURRENDER TO LOVE’S LOST AND FADED FLOWERS
RELEASE THE PAST AND LEAVE THE OLD BEHIND
SURRENDER THE FEAR AND LOSE CONTROL
SURRENDER BODY AND SOUL

OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER, OOH, SWEET SOUL SURRENDER
I SURRENDER MY SOUL…..

Dedicated to the Sava Dolinka River, Slovenia

THE RIVER SINGS, THE RIVER SPEAKS
THE RIVER CRIES – SAVE ME (RESI ME)
THE RIVER LIVES, IT DANCES FREE
IT NEVER DIES – WHEN WILL YOU SAVE ME?
THE RIVER’S VOICE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR
THE CURRENT SIGHS – SAVE ME (RESI ME)
AND FROM THE SOURCE, THE SPRING OF TRUTH
THE WORDS I HEAR – WILL YOU SAVE ME?

FREEDOM – LET ME FLOW IN PEACE
CRY FREEDOM – I WILL NEVER CEASE

THE RIVER GLIDES IN WAVES OF LIGHT
TO DARKEST DEEPS – SAVE ME
IT EBBS AND TIDES IN POOLS OF JOY
THE RIVER WEEPS – WILL YOU SAVE ME?
YOU HEAL MY HEART, YOU TOUCH MY SOUL
RELEASE MY FEARS – WILL YOU SAVE ME?
I AM A CHILD, THE WATER FLOWS
A THOUSAND TEARS
WHEN WILL YOU SAVE ME?

FREEDOM – LET ME FLOW IN PEACE
CRY FREEDOM – I WILL NEVER CEASE
FREEDOM – LET ME FLOW IN PEACE
CRY FREEDOM – I WILL NEVER CEASE

I DIDN’T SEE YOUR FACE TODAY
I ONLY SAW YOUR SOUL
THE BLUENESS OF YOUR EYES GAZING UP AT ME
MELTED MY CONTROL
AND EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH ME DEEPER THAN YOU KNOW
I HAVE TO TRUST THE FUTURE AND SIMPLY LET YOU GO

I DIDN’T HEAR A WORD YOU SAID
I LOOKED AND FELL RIGHT IN
I DIDN’T FEEL THE CITY HEAT
THE SUN BURNING KISSES ON MY SKIN
I WAS LOST IN AN ETERNITY, I LET YOU TAKE ME THERE
THE MIRROR OF YOUR EYES – I BREATHED YOU IN
YOU LAID ME BARE

AND I’M RAINSWEPT, CLEAR AND FREE
RAINSWEPT EMOTIONALLY
I’M RAINSWEPT, STRETCHED OUT ACROSS A LJUBLJANA SKY
I’M RAINSWEPT. YOU LEFT ME HANGING OUT TO DRY

(spoken) Kje si? Kje si zdaj? Moja srca leti! Letim…

I DIDN’T SEE THE MAN I KNEW
I SAW THROUGH YOUR DISGUISE
I LISTENED TO YOUR HEARTBEAT
AND IT LED ME TO THE MAN BEHIND YOUR EYES
A SOLITUDE OF SILENCE WHERE SECRETS LIE UNTOLD
I TOUCHED YOUR TRUTH, YOU ONLY TOUCHED MY SOUL
I THINK YOU BROKE THE MOULD

AND I’M RAINSWEPT, CLEAR AND FREE
RAINSWEPT EMOTIONALLY
I’M RAINSWEPT, STRETCHED OUT ACROSS A LJUBLJANA SKY
I’M RAINSWEPT. YOU LEFT ME HANGING OUT TO DRY
ACROSS A LUBLJANA SKY
YOU LEFT ME HANGING OUT TO DRY

I’VE BEEN WANDERING, I’VE BEEN SEARCHING
I’VE BEEN HOLDING MY GROUND, AFRAID TO BE FOUND
LOOKING FOR ME
I’VE BEEN ACHING, SOMEDAYS
I’VE WALKED THE EDGE OF ALMOST BREAKING
I’VE BEEN LEARNING TO CHOOSE WHAT I NEED TO LOSE
LOOKING FOR ME

I WAS PRAYING FOR ARMS TO HOLD ME
WHEN THE GOING GOT TOUGH
WAITING TO HEAR THOSE WORDS
THAT I WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH
REACHING FOR A PERFECT LOVE TO LET ME BE ME
BUT NOW I SEE THE PERFECT LOVER IS ME

I’VE BEEN HEALING, CELL BY CELL
I’VE BEEN COMING BACK TO LIFE AND I’VE BEEN FEELING
THE TRUTH WITH EACH WORD
I SPEAK AND I’M HEARD, LOOKING FOR ME
I’VE BEEN GROWING, TOOK THE MOMENT IN MY HANDS
AND FILLED MY EMPTY HEART WITH KNOWING
THE GIFT THAT I BRING, THE SONG THAT I SING
LOOKING FOR ME

DON’T NEED THOSE ARMS TO HOLD ME
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH
DON’T NEED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS
THAT I AM MORE THAN ENOUGH
I ONLY NEED THIS PERFECT LOVE TO LET ME BE ME
AND NOW I SEE THE PERFECT LOVE IS ME
IT’S THE GIFT THAT I BRING
THE SONG THAT I SING
LOOKING FOR ME

Music & Lyrics: Copyright Shirlie Roden

IN THE DARKNESS THERE IS SCREAMING
A STRANGE AND HIGH-PITCHED WHINE
DEEP IN THE FOREST HOW THE EARTH SHAKES
A DESECRATED SHRINE
DOES NO-ONE CARE? DOES NO-ONE DARE TO SPEAK?
STAND UP FOR THE STANDING PEOPLE

BRANCHES CRASHING WITH THE SUNRISE
THE BLOOD-RED SHADOWS SPREAD
AS ANCIENT GUARDIANS OF POWER
WHO ONCE TOWERED NOW LIE DEAD
DOES NO-ONE SEE? DOES NO-ONE DARE TO SPEAK?
STAND UP FOR THE STANDING PEOPLE

ONLY WHEN THE LAST TREE HAS BEEN CUT
ONLY WHEN THE LAST RIVER POISONED
ONLY WHEN THE LAST FISH HAS BEEN CAUGHT
WILL THEY FIND OUT THAT MONEY CANNOT BE EATEN
BUT THE EARTH WILL NOT BE BEATEN!

(spoken) IT IS THE DUTY OF MAN TO PRESERVE THE EARTH AND THE
CREATION OF THE GREAT SPIRIT, MAN BEING BUT A GRAIN OF SAND IN
THE HOLY CIRCLE WHICH ENCLOSES ALL LIFE. HE MUST REALISE THAT THIS PLANET DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM BUT THAT HE HAS TO CARE FOR AND MAINTAIN THE DELICATE BALANCE OF NATURE FOR THE SAKE OF THE WELLBEING OF OUR CHILDREN AND OF ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS (White Cloud)

DON’T TALK TO ME ABOUT BUREAUCRACY
DON’T TELL ME I’M INSANE
DON’T LOCK ME UP INSIDE A CAGE OF LIES
THE TRUTH WILL STILL REMAIN
BECAUSE I CARE, BECAUSE I DARE TO SPEAK
STAND UP FOR THE STANDING PEOPLE

ONLY WHEN THE LAST TREE HAS BEEN CUT
ONLY WHEN THE LAST RIVER POISONED
ONLY WHEN THE LAST FISH HAS BEEN CAUGHT
WILL THEY FIND OUT THAT MONEY CANNOT BE EATEN
BUT THE EARTH WILL NOT BE BEATEN!

Music & Lyrics: Copyright Shirlie Roden

TO GIVE WITHOUT TAKING
STAND TRUE WITHOUT BREAKING
HOLD STRONG BUT LET THE DREAM GO
TO TRUST BUT SPEAK NOT A WORD
TO LET YOUR SILENCES BE HEARD
THE JOY AND THE HEALING
SURRENDER THE FEELING
THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN YOUR EYES
FOR LOVE IS THE PRIZE
ONLY LOVE, ONLY LOVE

TO LIVE FOR BELIEVING
AND DIE TO DECEIVING
TO KNOW THE TRUTH IN YOUR SOUL
TO FIND THE PLACE YOU BELONG
THE HEART THAT’S BEATING TO YOUR SONG
TO SHARE WITHOUT NEEDING
TO FOLLOW WHILE LEADING
TO HOLD SO CLOSE WITH NO TIES
FOR LOVE IS THE PRIZE
ONLY LOVE, ONLY LOVE

TO CARVE A FUTURE IN STONE
SIDE BY SIDE, YET WALKING ALONE
TO SERVE WITH EACH DUTY
GROW OLDER IN BEAUTY
STAY YOUNG, BUT ALWAYS BE WISE
YES LOVE IS THE PRIZE
ONLY LOVE, ALWAYS LOVE
LOVE THAT CHANGES AND GROWS BUT NEVER DIES
ONLY THIS LOVE, THIS LOVE IS THE PRIZE
ONLY LOVE
