lyrics

Late Bloomer I feared I would not fit I’m not young and gorgeous I just could not make it One ought to be flawless But somewhere inside me There is this desire I’ve tested and tried me Can not put out the fire I am a late bloomer But now I am sublime I am a late bloomer I really took my time I am a late bloomer I’m doubtful, uncertain Afraid, quite unsure I dropped the fire curtain And followed the lure I am a late bloomer But now I am sublime I am a late bloomer I really took my time I am a late bloomer Not all of us get a wake up call Not all of us grab our chance You don’t have to become 10 feet tall Or have a whirwind romance Listen to the voice inside Know it isn’t all fantasy If you haven’t truly tried It will all be a fallacy I am a late bloomer But now I am sublime I am a late bloomer I really took my time I am a late bloomer But now I am sublime I am a late bloomer I really took my time I am a late bloomer

If I Were Bebel If I‘d been a fibber I'd have told you one If I’d been a winner I’d have won you one If I were poetic I'd write you one If I were heroic I'd fight you one I am a woman, I am a daughter I am a sister, I am a mother I am a friend, I am a lover That’s why we hold one another If I were angelic I'd dance you one If I were romantic I'd romance you some If I’d been more patient I’d have waited some If I were less ancient I’d have aged you some I am your woman, I am your daughter I am your sister, I am your mother I am your friend, I am your lover That’s why we hold one another

Dragonflies Some day when the dragonflies fly Some day when her time has gone by Leaving the lake behind Some day when the nymphs cannot see Some day when het soul’s roaming free Her spirit is not confined That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars Some day when the ashes blow by Some day when she’s no longer nigh She’s left us with all her grace That day will be filled with light and love That day we will reunite That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars That’s when our souls will dance forever ‘Round the fire together We will colour the stars

Spiritual Life 03:30
lyrics

Spiritual Life If I do Yoga And read all the wise guy's books Eat healthy food And forget about my looks Will I become enlightened? I want to lead a spiritual life I want to lead a meaningful life I want to lead a spiritual life If I start healing Meditate every day See a Shaman for my dreams Ask angels to come my way Will I stop feeling like a victim? I want to lead a spiritual life I want to lead a meaningful life I want to lead a spiritual life I went to a famous guru's workshop Hoping he would fix things for me But he's really not that good Cause the pain is still here I want to lead a spiritual life I want to lead a meaningful life I want to lead a spiritual life I want to lead a spiritual life I want to lead a meaningful life I want to lead a spiritual life

Every Inch I miss every inch of you The look behind your eyes Very distant sometimes The way you seemed so wise And light-footed at times I miss every inch of you I miss every inch of you the beauty of your hair the sunshine in your smile the way you always cared and often could beguile I miss every inch of you I miss every inch of you your arms, your legs, your skin your toes, your knees, your scent the way your love has been the way our lives went I miss every inch of you I miss every inch of you I miss every inch of you

Sister Dear Sister From the start we were a pair Where you used to hang out, yeah I’d be there Always your old hand me downs that I’d wear Naughty kids, sneaking out after dark Secretly playing with our buddies in the park Lighting fires, roasting marshmallows, having a lark Have we lost one another Are we worlds apart Sister dear sister You will never fall short Always this connection Straight from the heart We could take on the world, you and me Side by side wherever we would be We were besties, BFF’s by decree Pulling your hair and scratching your skin Trying to wipe away that stupid horrid grin What’s the use, I quit, you always win Have we lost one another Are we worlds apart Sister dear sister You will never fall short Always this connection Straight from the heart Have we lost one another Are we worlds apart Sister dear sister You will never fall short Always this connection Straight from the heart Solo ABA Standing up to you has taught me a lot You were there if I got myself in a knot How you stuck by me is something I never forgot Have we lost one another Are we worlds apart Sister dear sister You will never fall short Always this connection Straight from the heart Have we lost one another Are we worlds apart Sister dear sister You will never fall short Always this connection Straight from the heart

Step Into The Light 04:15

Step into the light Your mind is your own, uncontrolled Don’t believe all that you are told Be good, be quiet and well behaved Do not cry, or scream, be brave You’re just a girl and very weak Be tactful always when you speak The world is bigger than you think You just may find your missing link You can’t be seen dressed like that It’s really ugly when you’re fat No acting out, don’t be extreme When frustrated, never scream To other thoughts open your mind Space and freedom you may find Be kind, reserved, restrain yourself Put your emotions on a shelf It may be safe not to be heard Simply following the herd Step into the light
