LYRICS TO THE SONGS IN THIS EPISODE:

THERE IS NO END
There is no end to who I am.
I must manage 'till the end.
To make a story once again, 
With a me I must defend.

This self creation keeps me safe.
This is just how I know my place.
Even if there is the pain, 
At least I know just who I am.

Sometimes I feel the flow 
Of something I can't know.
It takes a simple thing.
A miracle it brings; 
A unity, 
But then it fades, you see.

In this world I can see, 
This clever mind deceiving me.
With each story I renew, 
I push away from life and you.

The more I try, the less I see.
A way to change this mind made me.
If I could stop, then I would not, 
And something else might come to be.

Sometimes I feel the flow
 Of something I can't know.
It takes a simple thing.
A miracle it brings; 
A unity,
But then it fades, you see.

WHO'S WATCHING
Am I here? 
In this moment All alone? 
Wishing to disown 
What I've become 
There are so many voices.
They all imprison me.
And I can't seem to see 
Who’s watching? 

If you think you know 
The mind and its desires.
Think again and know 
The consciousness required 
Even though my love seems true 
There's claiming and possession too 
True love can never find me 
Who’s watching? 

If you wish to live 
A life of sinless virtue 
There is no one here 
Who can begin to teach you 
Virtue makes abundance flow 
Then desire begins to grow 
Then peace can never reach you 
Who’s watching?

SARVE PRAYER
Sarve bhavantu sukhinah 
Sarve santu niramayah 
Sarve bhandrani pasyantu 
ma kascid duhkhabhagbhavet 

(Translation) 
All be Happy 
All be free 
All be free of disease 
All creatures have well being 
All creatures have no misery

SHADOW
(Instrumental)

I BELIEVE
I Believe for every drop of rain that falls, 
A flower grows; 
As life must flow. 

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, 
A candle glows; 
And we all know.

I believe for everyone who goes astray, 
Someone will come To show the way. 

I believe, I believe. 

I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer 
Will still be heard; 
By us all 

I believe that someone in the great somewhere, 
Hears every word; 
We all can hear 

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, 
Or touch a leaf, 
Or see the sky The I know why; 

We need to flow 
With life we know 
We know...

℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison

 

I AM

I Am... 
I Am Light 
I Am All 
I Am One
