 Unimaginable Life » Lyrics [+ Kuongeza +] |
1. _ This Island Earth
When will we know love?
When will we listen to heaven above?
And how will we return?
Someone said that we've been tempting fate
But i believe this song just wouldn't come if it's too late.
Chorus:
When will we see a light upon the ocean.
Shining like a star
That leads us ever onward
There's a new world waiting
When will we see rebirth
This island earth
Maybe our moment is gone
Maybe we've stood and watched
A moment too long
So why do i believe?
Someone said
That the truth's too much to take
But tell me how we can face it
If we only want to look the other way
Chorus
To a new beginning
Shine for all it's worth
This island earth
Why, what will we say to the angry child,
Try to explain away her fears while we're crying burning tears
Maybe it's time to cry the tear that matters
Chorus
Oh as we sail
Through the stars
We're alive on this island of ours

2. _ One Chance At A Time
Hello there
You tell me
You got a lot of real respect
For my kind
The old timers
I'm old enough to know the rules.
But nobody gave me the book
I had to learn to improvise myself
'n time 'n time i let me down
Until i learned the hard way
How to feel
What's real
Chorus:
But you get one chance at a life
To give it all and get it right
'n after all this time in mine
Everything i thought i knew
Was tellin' me
To give it up
And leave it all behind
But you get endless second chances
To take it one chance at a time
For love 'n money
I made a lot-a dumb mistakes
In my time
Believe me
I proved and proved it
I can't believe i'm gonna prove it again
It's time to reinvent myself
But where the hell does the fire come from
When makin' it don't make it anymore?
Chorus
Time and love
I been lookin' all my life
For time and love
Hoping a breeze will come 'n take me
I been waiting
And waiting
And sailing in one place
Like a bird against the wind
Afraid to turn and fly away

3. _ All I Ask
Every time i'm around you
I'm caught by surprise
A sense of electric anticipation
Rolls into me when you smile.
And i know that you're filled by emotion
'cause i see it in the tear
That you hide
Girl i don't want you to go
'n i don't need you to know
If forever is a part of your life
Chorus:
All i ask of you
Is hear your heart
All i ask of you
Is trust it babe
They call love "illusion"
They say "falling in love's a mistake"
"it could be just about anybody"
But i don't see it that way
Hey - i know what's in you
Because i can feel it too.
And i've never been more scared in my life
'n i don't want you to go
'n girl i don't need to know
If forever's what i see in
Your eyes
Chorus
Just as the night
Knows the sun's comin' home
Trust that our love
Has a mind of its own

4. _ Birth Energy
I am opening
I am opening up
Birth energy
Be my teacher
Birth energy
Heal my fears
Teach me trust
Teach me compassion
Walk me into the darkness
And into your light
Birth energy
You are woman
Birth energy
Within the man
Ever constant
Ever changing
Let your winds blow
Rock me in your storm
Let the bough break
Let me fall
Into your arms
It is you i trust
When i say
I'm trusting love
Invocation:
I stand among the sisters of the moon
I am held by the creator of the world
I am opening
I am unbounded
I am luminous
I am powerful
I surrender to this power
Life and newness are continued and
Renewed through me
You are the ocean
I ride upon your waves
I am opening
I am blown apart by your caress
I surrender to you
I embrace you
I am ready now to sing the moon
To be her voice
I am the singer
And life is her song
I sing creation
I sing joy and pain
Beginning and ending
Giving and taking
Existence
Goddess
I embrace you
I am opening
I am opening up

5. _ Just Breathe
I prayed for something i could never understand
The sword of shiva to deliver me to unimagined lands.
And there you were
I asked for something that could catch me by surprise
To leap into the belly of the beast to rip me up and bring me out alive
And there you were
Into your eyes
I'm falling rain
Into your eyes
A hurricane
Into your eyes
I'm coming home
I'm holding on
I'm letting go
Oh, i'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All my future below
Oh, i pledge my life
All i am to be by your side
Then you whisper that all you need of me
Is just to breathe
Initiation to the wisdom of the heart
An invocation know to humble men
And tear their worlds apart
And there you were
I prayed every night n'day for something to believe
Some brand of magic that could lift me up and bring me to my knees
And there you were
Into your eyes
I'm falling rain
Into your eyes
A hurricane
Into your eyes
I'm coming home
I'm holding on
I'm letting go
Oh, i'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All my future below
Oh, i pledge my life
All i am to be by your side
Sworn to love you as long as i shall breathe
In every other lover's eyes
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, all your life
In the line of duty we can never do enough
I am surrendered
I am ascended on love
I'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All of my future before my eyes and
Oh, i pledge my life
All i am to be by your side
Come and take me home
Oh my father's son
New reborn as the chosen one
Now he kneels at your feet
Oh, i pledge my life
All i am to be by your side
Come and take me home.

6. _ I Am Not Hiding
I was runnin' from paradise
Busy dancin' across thin ice
Then lookin' up
I thought somebody called my name
But i kept on walkin' on down
On my own way
I was livin' but not enough
Turnin' my face
From the face of love
Then lookin' up
I'm certain i saw your eyes
And i don't know how
And i don't know why
But i know i'm home
Chorus:
I am not hiding
This time i'm deciding
Now i'm showin' up
To give it all my love
I am not hiding
Now i'm standing here
Shoutin' out to heaven
Runnin' no more
Freedom was overdue
I was starvin' for a dream
And the dream was you
Then lookin' up
Big love was pourin' down
'n i don't know how
'n i don't know why
But i know i'm home
Chorus
The dream of love was more
Than i could have
I'd almost given it up
But darlin' now it's back
I am here
You are real
This time i'm learnin' to feel
I have found
Paradise
Showin' up in your eyes
This is all i know
No more sad goodbyes
Kiss it all hello
I'm showin' up for my life
Oh, love is what it's all about
You gotta go in
To get out
For once in my life
I've found my home
Home in your arms, darlin'
All i know is that i'm finally home
Strong enough to see the truth
You gotta go in
To get out

7. _ No Doubt About Love
I don't know just what to make of this world
My friends are wonderin' too
I got some doubt about the state of this world
'n what we're gonna do
All i know is you
'n the feelin' i feel is the truth
I'm in love with you
'n i don't need to figure it out
Chorus:
All i know now is that
I got no doubt about love
Hesitation is out
Now that i got no doubt about love
You're never sure about your place in this world
Or what you need to survive
Some people say that
What it takes in this world
Is constant compromise
But your love's so fine
And i must have done somethin' so right
To be in love with you
And i ain't givin' up what i got
Chorus
Can it be
Certainty
Has taken ahold in my life
Imagine my surprise
No doubt big love has arrived
Every day i thank god i'm alive

8. _ Let The Pendulum Swing
Let the pendulum swing.
Let the old guard surrender
It is a new day, a new world,
A new language i wish to speak
The language of love
May i have the words i need to speak my truth,
To translate my heart and my vision
To my beloved and his children
To all who come to sit at our table
Or walk with us through the market place
Or pray with us by the water
May i have the plain poetry to tell them how i feel
Or why there is pain,
If the answers are mine to know.
And if they are, i ask the spirit to let me share them
With a light heart, with laughter,
Wth no expectation, with humility
But for the grace of thee, go i.
May i know my innocence
Every moment of every day
May i be a child forever
Intoxicated by hot sand, cool winds, by love
By my own communication to the spirit.
May my aliveness always be as loud
When i make love, as when i cry
May i see my own reflection in the mirror
And smile
My love,
You are my teacher
And i surrender to your heart
The purest heart i've ever seen
Today i give you everything that is mine to give
My truth
All my innocence
And all my heart
I am yours
Let the dance begin.

9. _ The Rest Of Your Life
Walkin' on my own,
Absolutely free,
Solitary life,
The only life for me,
Midnight caf‚,
Dinner alone,
Independent heart,
Is all i've ever known,
Oh i believe,
I had no one to lose,
And nobody fooled but me
Fire in the storm,
Rainbow in the night,
Lightning on the sea,
Heaven in your eyes,
Never before,
The magic of night,
It happened in my arms,
Right before my eyes
Oh, now i believe,
There's a god watching over me,
From up here, i can see the rest of my life,
It's got directions starting over,
So hold me, it's destiny,
Cause from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can i be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.
Self-assured before,
Had it figured out,
All i didn't know,
Is what it's all about,
You walked into my world,
Then it came alive
I never knew before,
Why i survived.
Oh, now i believe,
There's a god watching over me,
From up here, i can see the rest of my life,
You're giving me directions starting over,
So hold me, it's destiny,
Cause from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
Whoa, oh whoa,
Whoa, i know it's over,
The past is over, ooh yeah
You can't go back to sleep,
Once you've seen what you have seen
And know what you know about love.
Over
Hold me, it's destiny,
And from tonight i know,
You know the rest of your life is mine,
How long can i be this sure,
Only for the rest of your life.

10. _ The Art Of Letting Go
There are times
When love soaks you to the bone
'n then those moments leave you wonderin'
If you'll lose your mind or lose control
Life is nothing without love
Love is nothing if not freedom
They tell me the gates of hell
That you shake 'n you rattle
Are secretly locked from inside
Chorus:
You hope 'n pray you'll find
The one thing on your mind
Not until you know
The art of letting go
'n it may seem to be
Defying gravity
That's because they know
The art of letting go
You may think
You built a present perfect world
And you may wonder to yourself
Does anyone really know what else could ever matter?
But the man with his hand
On the hammer
Wears a velvet glove
Does the rich man know he's poor?
Does the beggar care for much more than survival?
When you look into the eyes of children laughing
Do you remember who you were?
Or who you are?
Life is nothing without love
Love is nothing if not freedom
They tell me the gates of hell
That you shake 'n you rattle
Are secretly locked
From inside
Chorus
You hope and pray you'll find
A love to last all time
Not until you know
The art of letting go
And it may seem to be
Defying gravity
That's because they know
The art of letting go
You're dying to believe
In love eternally
Not until you know
The art of letting go
And it may seem to be
Defying gravity
That's because we know
The art of letting go
You can't go through it
Without going through it
'til it goes through you
'til you know the truth

11. _ Now That I Know Love
How do i know if i'm in love?
Who could i ever learn to trust?
I asked myself these questions for so long
What do i only wish to see?
What do i truly know to be?
I told myself to hold on tight
You never know enough
But now i see what i believe
'cause i'm believin' love
Chorus:
Whether my mind's sayin' it's crazy
Whether my world's sayin' i'm wrong
Wherever my heart goes, that's where i belong
I finally found out what faith is
I follow the way that it feels
And heaven has never been more real
When you looked into me
And you laid your hands on me
At once the deaf could hear
The blind could see
Now that i know love
I was a child alone, asleep
You came along and cradled me
You took me in your arms
And rocked me so sweetly
I'd prayed for love
To come to pass
How do we know if love will last?
And if it can't then someone tell me
What we're livin' for
I don't know what tomorrow holds
But i know what i know
Chorus
Glory be, i believe
Oh i finally see that love isn't blind
'cause i've never seen more clearly in my life
Now that i know love

12. _ The Unimaginable Life
I know we were born to be here again
In the kind of love that you die for
Somethin' in the innocent wind's
Been callin' out to me
Over 'n over
I would build a castle upon our dreams
Or leave it all behind us in ashes
Just to feel your heart in my heart
A promise and a prayer
To lead 'n to follow
Voices that call
From an ancient dream
Remind me of a world i've never known
Chorus:
We are the bridge
We are the fire
'n i burn in a river of love
And now i can sing with all my heart
Oh i believe
All that i've seen in your eyes
An unimaginable life
Something in the way that you say hello
Even to the sound of your heart beat
All seems so familiar to me
My soul-memory of love
Leading me homeward
Voices that call from an ancient dream
The promise of a life i've never known
We are the bridge
We are the fire
And i burn in a river of love
I know i can sing
With all my heart
Here it begins
Freedom is in your eyes
An unimaginable life
Chorus
'n i know i can sing
With all my heart
Oh i believe
Darlin' that we've arrived
An unimaginable life
Our unimaginable life

13. _ Your Spirit And My Spirit
|
14. _ Love's Got Nothing To Prove
Love isn't just
Somethin' to try
No "act" of love
Can satisfy
You've got to believe
It's live or die
To ask yourself the question
"how can love survive?"
And if we try
And it don't work out
Like so many people do
It's just a fact of life
No we ain't in charge
There ain't nothin' that's wrong with me
Ain't nothin' that's wrong with you
Chorus:
Love's got nothin' to prove
It's not up to you
Two souls come into a world made
Of time and space
Searchin' for the truth
With nothin' but love to prove
And find it in the gift of
A moment of grace
Your heart is broken
'cause your love was untrue
You're asking god
"oh why you?"
Oh was it crazy
Givin' all of you?
You ask yourself the question
"what more could i do?"
Bridge and chorus
There's always somebody to tell you how
You were a fool who jus' believed too much
But in the end the fool, you'll come to know
Is not the one who loved
