Our Land

We are in Love
And Love is our lore
So will we walk
To the great sandy shore

And when we get there
Will you take my hand
Will we sail off together
To a far distant land

Where sweet wine is plenty
And peace wears a crown
Where there’s singing and dancing
And faces don’t frown

Our land, an island
Our land, an island

Where we can be beautiful
Loving and wise
And never let bitterness
Moisten our eyes

But weep, just for joy
An occasional tear
To keep our vision
Vivid and clear

Our land, an island
Our land, an island

In the land of poetry
Painting and song
Where the days are short
And the legends are long

Will we go there together
Forever to stay
Will we go there tomorrow
As we did yesterday?

Fool’s Gold

Sometimes I see you
In the corner of my eye
Try to reach out to you
A shadow passing by

Long ago it seemed
You were really there
Now I know you’re dreams
Floating on the air

Try to keep time
Hold it in your hands
It trickles through your fingers
Like grains of sand

Anything worth having
Is nothing we can hold
Wealth is an illusion
Security fool’s gold

A Moment of Quiet

A moment of quiet,the mind is calm.
Thoughts are a clear, gentle stream.
All’s in its place, expressed in a face
Half-smiling, as if in a dream.

The cosmos, a nutshell,
Yet endlessly huge,
Breathing out, breathing in
The Divine

It’s Love that is breathing,
Consoling and healing,
In this infinite
Fragment of time.

Because of You

When I’m sad
Feeling tired and old
The world is bad
Life is cold

Whenever the rain
Will find no end
Whatever my pain
I have a friend

Because of you
The sun shines through
Because of you
I can fall, I can fall

When I’m frail
Feeling a fool
Scared I’ll fail
Or be uncool

Because of you
The sun shines through
Because of you
I can fall, I can fall
I can fall
And land softly

Can You feel It?

Can you feel it, that feeling?
Can you feel it, it’s like dreaming
It’s inside you, and all around you
Everywhere

Can you feel it, that feeling?
It’s like music from deep within
You can’t see it, but you can feel it –
It’s there

And I’m getting closer
All the time, moving closer
Every day, striving harder
On the way, going farther
Closer to

Can you feel it, that feeling?
It’s breathing, and healing
It’s being, and all-seeing
Loving you

And I’m getting closer
All the time, moving closer
Every day, striving harder
On the way, going farther
Closer to

My Daddy’s Eyes

Wish you could see me now, Dad
Wish you could watch me fly
After the troubles we had
My castles in the sky, yeah

Never would believe, Dad
The way our lives unfold
Never could conceive, Dad
The happiness they hold

And in my dream, glowing green
Warm and wise, my daddy’s eyes
And in my dream, glowing green
Warm and wise, my daddy’s eyes
My daddy’s eyes

To me you were a god, Dad
To me you were divine
The understanding we had
Until the end of time

So when I think of you, Dad
I wonder what you’d say
I wonder what you’d do, Dad
If you were here today

And in my dream, glowing green
Warm and wise, my daddy’s eyes
And in my dream, glowing green
Warm and wise, my daddy’s eyes
My daddy’s eyes
