The Water 05:57
The Water My Love is gone and I am merely waiting My Love is gone and I am merely waiting Cause I love him so Should I stop or go How am I to know When he will return from his quest across the water If he will return from his quest across the water My dream is over, what am I to do My dream is over, what am I to do Have no energy Sitting listlessly Cause I cannot see How I can grow wings and fly beyond the water If I can grow wings and fly beyond the water Wise women often say see the miracles All you need to do is be patient Wise women often say see the miracles All you need to do is be patient As things end in life and come to a conclusion As things end in life and come to a conclusion I take time to think To let it sink See how they interlink And learn some more before I set off across the water And learn some more before I set off across the water Wise women often say see the miracles All you need to do is be patient Wise women often say see the miracles All you need to do is be patient

Capacity for Love When she stood alone Feeling all her greatness Chose the big unknown Independent, gracious Love danced right back in Very unexpected May their lives begin Fully interconnected Look at their incredible capacity for love Their capacity to love Each other He danced into her life With his heart wide open The softness in his eyes Shining, loving, golden The kindness in his smile Betrays his sweetness He’ll walk her down the aisle While we all bear witness Look at their incredible capacity for love Their capacity to love

Faith 03:47
Faith When darkness rolls in And sunshine is hidden Despair seems to win And joy feels forbidden Life will work out, my dear Just open your eyes and you’ll see Have faith in what will come to pass You’re stronger than you’ll ever know You are not alone in this Surrender to destiny’s flow Life will work out, my love Just open your eyes and you’ll see When nothing is smooth But riddled with shadows When no one can soothe No faith in tomorrow Life will work out, my dear Just open your eyes and you’ll see Have faith in what will come to pass You’re stronger than you’ll ever know You are not alone in this Surrender to destiny’s flow Life will work out, my love Just open your eyes and you’ll see

Hero 04:28
Hero One day I will hear the call Some day I will dare to soar Fearlessly defying protocol No stopping me anymore Along the way I may find Serpents and dragons to slay Help will be there to remind Me not to back away I am the hero of my own story Fearlessly I’ll walk the talk I am the hero of my own story Gracefully I’ll walk the talk Challenges on this new road Will help me to mature Life lessons for me to decode Just when I'm feeling unsure Guru's will join my adventure Wisdom amending innocence I will uncover treasures Find serendipity and coincidence I am the hero of my own story Mindfully I’ll walk the talk I am the hero of my own story Fearlessly I’ll walk the talk I am the hero of my own story Courageously I’ll walk the talk I am the hero of my own story Gracefully I’ll walk the talk

On The Way You are a light to me You shine for all to see May you be loved ev'ry day ev'ry day ev'ry day Your path be blessed on the way on the way on the way As you move on in life Let there be happiness in your life Make every day a melody melody melody Be all that you set out to be out to be out to be
