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?

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...

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