Earth in your feet at the break of day
Roses that meet in the lines of your face
Gold in your hands, flames in your veins
The voice of your soul sings at the mouth of the cave
When you raise
Raise your joy
I love to see your grace
When you smile for nothing
Raise your joy
I want to know your ways
When you dream your love in
Breath taken body, sky in your eyes
The dance of your spirit in holy delight
Rivers of love flowing deep from your heart
And the way that they bless everything in their path
Colours of sunrise in your atmosphere
Warmth in your welcome for everything here
Finally rising at your open door
Over and over I’m loving you more
And you
Raise your joy
I love to see your grace
When you smile for nothing
Raise your joy
I want to know your ways
When you dream your love in
Raise your joy I want to feel the fire
When your passion sparks alight
Raise your joy I want to be by your side
When your spirit comes alive
Raise your joy I love to see your grace
When you smile for nothing

The Night Says

What you gonna do?
How will you sell the magicians spell
That slipped right through
The ghost of me and you?
What you gonna say?
Hollowing the words
That flee your mouth
The curling tides have come
To wash them away
Be mine the night says to the day
What you got to prove?
Whose eyes will be the ones that give enough
To feed the fragile flame inside of you?
What you got to lose?
You’ll find another spell to sink yourself
To be enchanted by
And be what you do for you
Where every lie that you tell yourself is true
Oh be mine the night says
Oh be mine the night says
Be mine
Let’s be together says the water to the flame
Let’s stay in love says the heart to the pain
I’ll say goodbye but I’ll love you just the same
Be mine the night says
To the day

The Dream

I take my scissors on holiday
When I find treasures I cut them away
Letters that sparkle
In things one might say
Pictures to flow to
Places to go to
Limbs in the playground
A million hands
Moving and moulding kaleidoscope lands
The orchestra shivers
The ether expands
Beginning fictitious
Becoming delicious
Now it’s just me and the animals
This is me in my tingling fantasy
I am the dream in this animal body
Cool in the openness
Naked with honesty
Light in these fingers
With blinding velocity
I ask for diamonds
And mountains of gold
Castles and creatures from stories of old
And when I get timeless
With nothing to hold
I am the river
Let magic deliver
Now it’s just me and the animals
This is me in my tingling fantasy
I am the dream in this animal body
Cool in the openness
Naked with honesty
Light in these twinkles
With blinding velocity

Freedom to Stay

When you became the man I love
The ground beneath our feet was warm
When you became the one I wanted
Stillness could be found inside the storms
When I became the one you sang to
You believed me like a child
When I became the one you longed for
Stars burst when our bodies were entwined
You may choose another now
And revel in the beauty of her grace
I know I’m still precious to you
Even if beside you’s not my place
May all that you receive bring you happiness
May everything you give be nothing less
May the line between them melt away like snow
If you follow in your freedom to go
When we became the ones who laughed
And joy was filling every space
The world could only disappear
Remember when your eyes dissolved my face
Promises were never in our minds
We trusted in whatever we might find
Watching as the carpet was unrolled
Following the story as it told
May everything you live bring you happiness
May everything you give be nothing less
May all that you receive throw light on your way
If you follow in your freedom to stay
When you’re following your freedom
