Lyrics:

I Give Thanks

 

I Give thanks for all that ever was
I give thanks for all that is
I give thanks for all that ever will be
In eternal life

I question not the Divine Love, Wisdom and Justice

May all beings be peaceful
May all beings be blissful
May all beings be happy

In Eternal Life

In eternal Love
In eternal Truth

I am eternal Life
I am eternal Love
I am Truth
I am Peace
And Peace dwells within me

I Am power I Am wisdom I Am justice

I Am That I Am

 

The Nine Positives

 

I Am Whole
I Am Perfect
I Am Strong
I Am Powerful
I Am Loving
I Am Harmonious
I Am One with Eternal Life

Whole like a planet in a galaxy in a universe I Am perfectly whole
Strong my voice is like thunder my thoughts are like lightning I Am Powerful
Loving like an innocent chile in Harmony with the music of life
And the Clouds in the Sky

(nine positives)

I Am Rich in the spirit as it overcomes me
I Am Young like liquid gold
I Am Happy like a butterfly in its final hour

(nine positives)

 

Take the Long Journey

 

Take the long journey into the mirror
Past the ripples and imperfections

The crippling regrets, fiery hate, stagnant fears, passionate jealousy
Clever deception, such a clever reception

Reflections, reflections, reflections in the water
Distortions in the mirror, ripples in the glass

Go in like Alice meet the demons, face the face
And travel to the other side

Ripples in the water, Ripples in the glass
Like Alice in the mirror, the adventure will pass
The adventures that forge, mold, shape
The adventures that transform, hold, like fate

The water may splash, my tumble you
Suck you under to see the nightmare, the blacks and the reds
The ocean of consciousness may swallow you up
Steady your course Look to the source know the source
Hold the source embrace the source

Let it create let it design with love, resign

Hear the ocean waves sound Hear the sound waves resound
Thundering, speaking, whispering
Hear the ocean waves sound Hear the sound waves resound
Wondering keeping faithfully yours

Watch the ripples smooth and blend

Ripples in the water distortions in the mirror
Reflections, reflections, reflections in the glass

Take The Long Journey into the Mirror

 

Purify

 

Thou O Lord who art the Life and Support of the universe
Who art Dearer than Life
Purify thou my head

Thou who art freed from all pain by coming into contact
With whom I am freed from all troubles
Purify thou my eyes

Thou who pervadest the universe directing and controlling it
Purify thou my throat

That I may sing with the angels
Pulsate with the oceans
Caress the waves with my liquid soul
Sail with the whales and the dolphin
Entwined in the word of God

Thou who art comprehending Purify
Who art comprehending Purify Purify Purify
Thou my heart

Thou who art the cause of the universe
Purify thou my body
Thou who art all sustaining purify thou my feet

That I may fly on wings of light

Thou who art all truth
Purify again my head

Thou who art all-pervading
Purify thy whole being

 

 

Law of Creation

 

The Law of Creation is Life
Wonderful glorious vibrant life

I Am youth I Am beauty strength and power
I Am youth I Am beauty strength and

Free free Life Life

The Law of Creation is Life"

Declaring the Word of the Creator
The hushed and powerful word of

Free free Life Life

I Am eternal, I am eternally boundless
I Am eternal I am eternally limitless
I am eternal I am eternally everlasting
I am eternal I am eternally never-ending

Limitless, everlasting, never-ending free, free, life, life

The Law of Creation is life.

Yearning for all secrets revealed to me
Burning in hopes that all seasons renew in life, life
Free, free life, life

The Law of Creation is Life

 

Tiny Little Specks

 

Tiny Little specks of iridescent light
Light light light

My face is bathed in smiles
Its light for miles and miles
My whole being is bathed in smiles
I am the light of God the blinding sight of God
The all-knowing Might of God
I am the Palm of God
The drowning awe of God
My whole being is raw in the Light of God

Light

Tiny little specks.

If thine eye be single
The single eye the eternal eye the third eye the spiritual eye

If thine eye be single thy whole body will be full of light

And I know that every cell in that countless number of cells in my body
Is a light, a lamp, a torch bringing to me divine wisdom

As the light is to the flame as the flame is to the fire the fire of Divine Love
That burns in the center, of centers, of my Innermost Being

My face is bathed

I want to give special thanks to Bira, whose patience with my demanding production process went above and beyond. I also want to gratefully acknowledge his remarkable creative input in engineering as well as his excellent guitar solos, without which, the recording would be pale.
