2. Change of Heart
My heart, it was broken. Now it’s broken open.
These words I had longed to hear, until my heart had spoken.
I’ve had a change, a change of heart, I’ve had a change, a change of heart
A change of heart, it came over me.
The touch of an unseen hand, gave me the strength I needed.
In the quiet of night, to my heart, my will conceded.
I’ve had a change, a change of heart
I’ve had a change, a change of heart
A change of heart, it came over me, it came over me.
A pieced together identity, unraveled in a moment of truth.
It was the love that you showed me that would see me through.
I’ve had a change, a change of heart, I’ve had a change, a change of heart
A change of heart, it came over me, it came over me, it came over me.

4. New You
Om Ram Agniyai Swaha
There’s a new you, the one you’ve always known yourself to be
The true you, not the one that you believed we all wanted to see
Not the person you believed we wanted you to be
At times Gods walk upon the earth, for those with eyes to see
I believed in you, you believed in me
Om Ram Agniyai Swaha
Bonded in eternity, like beads of love upon a string
Round and round, in all directions
As the fog clears from our eyes
Guided by what we can’t see
Homeward bound, a true reflection…
Om Ram Agniyai Swaha
There’s a new you, the one you’ve always known yourself to be

Summertime, gonna take some time for me
Summertime, just to let my spirit be
This is what I really need
To let the sun shine down on me
Summertime, no place I would rather be
Summertime, my beloveds next to me
This is what I really need
To feel the peace wash over me
Summertime, as the trees sway side to side
Summertime, I’ll watch the world just pass me by
This is where I need to be
To let this beauty carry me
Summertime in Gods sunshine
Kindred Souls
Just passing through
Summertime under the starry sky
To see your eyes, lit by the moon
All our cares so far from view
Could be forever, summertime with you…

Summer in eternity

9. Halo
Never have I ever felt a love like this, it warmed me to the core of my belief
Now yesterday’s a shadow, a dream that I once had and much to my surprise
and my relief.
I saw a halo, a halo, halo, halo
A halo, above my angel watching me
A halo, I circled round your love toward the light till I could finally see
Endless was my reach, elusive by design
And all the shining toys that caught my eye
Much further from the bone, enraptured by the veil
And every explanation I could find
I saw a halo, a halo, halo, halo
A halo, above my angel watching me
A halo, I circled round your love toward the light till I could finally see
We’re all God’s children the hands that turn the wheels of destiny.
We’re all God’s children the threads you weave to serve humanity
You draw the line, all hearts will follow in time
Saw a halo, saw an angel watching over me, my angel, she was watching over
me, halo…
A halo, above my angel watching me
A halo, I circled round your love toward the light till I could finally see

Sri Ram Jaya Jaya Ram
Does the ocean search for water
A memory a place in time
Would light seek illumination
And wish upon a star to shine
We are what we are, divine and liberated
We are what we are, spirit incarnated
We are what we are, at one with all creation
We are what we are, we are our own salvation
Sri Ram Jaya Jaya Ram
Does a rainbow search for beauty
A songbird for a pretty tune
A stroke of genius inspiration
A rose to find a sweet perfume
Would a selfless act of mercy
Wish to earn its own reward
And would grace offer sanctuary
To only those who could afford

8. Stars
A friend, you’d call a stranger, a mountain more like the wind,
We crossed that fateful hour, and won’t be back again.
As one, two crimson heartbeats steady as any hand could be
Like clay held in your fingers, you made a lover out of me.
I felt your eyes upon me and a stirring in my Soul
I watched the current rise and tide turn for another shore…
A river finds it’s ocean, the light brings darkness to its knees
All that we’ve forgotten and all that we were meant to be…
We are like stars, stars in the sky
The darker this night, the brighter we will shine.
On a distant highway, beyond where the horizon can be seen
We gave back all we borrowed, to find our destiny.
I felt your eyes upon me and a stirring in my Soul
I watched the current rise and tide turn for another shore…
A river finds it’s ocean, the light brings darkness to its knees
All that we’ve forgotten and all that we were meant to be…
We are like stars, stars in the sky
The darker this night, the brighter we will shine.

Guru is the intelligence which illuminates darkness and thereby reveals what is
real. Gurudev refers to the highest truth and can reveal itself in many ways. When
it is embodied within a person, that person is known as a great teacher or Guru
and is often referred to as Gurudev. While chanting this mantra, it is important to
reflect on how you connect and open to that truth.
2. Heartsong
It’s time for healing, time to have faith.
Time for living with trust in God’s Grace
Time for releasing all the things that you fear
Listen to your heart and tell me what you hear.
Time for giving and time to believe.
Time to reap harvest time to receive.
There’s no time for wasting with happiness so near.
Listen to your heart and tell me what you hear.
On a journey of a lifetime
Above the noises of the crowd
In the throws of passion’s fire
Can you reach the higher ground
Oh can you feel it, isn’t it clear
Listen to your heart, tell me what you hear.
It’s time for kindness, compassion and care
Time to take action be bold and unaware
Time to move forward while your vision is clear
Listen to your heart
Tell me what you hear
Amidst the cries for freedom
On the wings of prayer
For the hunger, the desire, to feed a soul lost in despair
Oh can you feel it, isn’t it clear
Listen to your heart and tell me what you hear.
Listen to your heart and tell me what you hear.
Gonna Listen to my Heart and tell you what I hear!
My heart song sings love each other
My heart sings see god in the other
My heart song sings love each other
See god in the other
Be kind and live as one, live as one…

Krishna, meaning ruler and protector of the cows respectively. This chant
speaks of Krishna who not only dances with His beloved, but who protects all of
creation and all forms of life. Bolo is to speak or sing - as we do in this mantra to
the eternal beloveds intoxicated with Love for each other. The dance of their
infinite hearts blesses the world and heals all hearts.
6. To Be Home Namo Bhagavate
I have been hiding out
I have been holding on
Like a bird in the ocean, looks up to the sky
Been Bound to my freedom
Crawling on high
It’s been such a long time
Since your heart has felt mine
Down the straight and the narrow
With wings I would fly
As the path fades before me
I just let it go by
To be home with you again
All alone with you again
Measuring distance beyond space and time
What I haven’t lost, I will never find
I’ll be on my way now
Let this old wheel keep spinning round
From a drop of your water
To a grain of your sand
From the distance between us
Back to the touch of your hand
To be home with you again
All alone with you again
All that I’ve chosen and all that I fear
I must carry on now
Please wait for me here
To be home with you again
All alone with you again
To be home with you again
All alone with you…

10. Beautiful Soul
How you have feared not knowing where you stand
A blessings shared does not ask you for your power
You called out to your God, you got on your knees and prayed
For a reason that he came to you this way
Hard to see that it’s worth its weight in gold
Or even worth anything at all
Do you know…
You’re a beautiful Soul a beautiful Soul
Do you know…
You’re a beautiful Soul a beautiful Soul
So much to bear swept away in holy waters
Not knowing where this heart would find a home
You reached for a hand
and you made your presence known
Seeking an answer how this time could slip away
Hard to believe beyond a shadow of a doubt
There’s beauty in suffering, the rise greater than the fall
Do you know…
You’re a beautiful Soul a beautiful Soul
Do you know…
You’re a beautiful Soul a beautiful Soul
Do you know…
You’re a beautiful Soul a beautiful Soul

I have known love
I have cried out
I’ve seen the tears of fate and the crimes to Soul

What would you do if all of God’s Love was here for you and You could be who
you wanted to be and all of your dreams came true. Would you be glad or
afraid? Who would you turn to…If the sky opened up and the sun filled your
heart and the raindrops, were falling from your eyes, as the waters of sorrow
passed and all of God’s Love was on your side. What would you say if I stayed
here and didn’t go away? And I offered you the perfect Love, kindness and
passionate play. Would you get scared and run away or change your mind If the
sky opened up and the sun filled our hearts and the raindrops were falling from
our eyes, as the waters of sorrow passed and all of God’s Love was on your side.
All of God’s Love was on your side. Let it purify you. Let it sanctify you. Let it
unwind you and make you new again. How would it be if the Prince of Peace
bestowed his Grace upon me. And I no longer struggled for what I thought would
set me free. Would I jump in or turn away? Would I be ready? When the sky
opened up and the sun filled my heart and the raindrops were falling from my
eyes, as the waters of sorrow passed and all of God’s Love was on my side
3x. We can rejoice that we have a choice. To open up our eyes and see that all
of God’s Love is on our side! Sita Rama Rama Ram …

Climb aboard this miracle of Love. Climb aboard this miracle of everlasting Love.
The here and now is what it’s all about, no need to worry or wonder why just

6. SHINE ON
Shine on you’re the light of my world. Reach out show me who you really are. Be
still and let your eyes move through me. Let go, meet me here. Shine on you’re
the light of the world. Rejoice for who you really are. Come close and wrap your
love around me. Let go, let’s disappear. The path that you and I have chosen. To
be together and to set each other free. This bond remains unbroken for all
eternity. Shine on you’re the light of my world. Rejoice for who you really are.
Slow down and share this moment with me. Let go, be here. Here Here where
the angels fly between us. Here Here where the sky divides to free us. Where the
earth grows beneath us and the river flows to meet us. This road is so long and
windy. The mountain so steep to climb. The burden that we both carry makes us
weak, makes us tired. But there is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you. For this love
that whispers in my ear. The song of our holy union so clear, I hear. Shine on
you’re the light of my world. Reach out show me who you really are. Be still and
let your eyes move through me. Let go, meet me here. Shine on you’re the light
of the world. Rejoice for I know who you are. Come close and wrap your soul
around me. Let go, let’s disappear. Shine on you’re the light of my world. Rise up
and show me who you are. Slow down and share this moment with me. Let go,
let’s disappear.
7. SOUL FREEDOM
Chorus: Soul Freedom, it’s waiting for you & me. Soul Freedom, it’s infinite & it’s
free. It won’t come with your paycheck, You can’t watch it on TV. It won’t be
where you’re looking or with a PHD degree. It won’t come on your birthday, and
won’t come by E mail. You can’t read it in a magazine and it’s definitely not for
sale. Chorus. It won’t call you on your cell phone. It’s not in that brand new pair
of pants. You can’t find it in a catalogue or in the trance of romance. You won’t
catch it at the movies or rent it on DVD. Can’t eat it at your favorite restaurant
and it’s not even in green tea. Chorus. It may not be in style or the flavor of the
day. You can’t lick it off of an ice cream cone or drink it at that quaint café. You
can’t wear it on your finger or cruise it down the street. You won’t hear it on that
new CD though it will never miss a beat. Chorus. It won’t make you any thinner
nor golden or tan. Won’t do nothin’ for your abdomen, won’t do nothin’ for your
can. You can’t search it on the web or sleep with it in bed or wear it on your head
or wait until your dead. Soul Freedom…
8. MYSTERY TO YOU
I searched to find an answer. I struggled in every way I could. But I never found
what I was looking for and I sensed that I never would. I don’t need to be the
mystery in me. Go ahead and block my view, I’ll leave the mystery to you. I was
once enslaved by judgment. I was held captive by my fear. But the words that
you spoke how they comforted me. They were just the words I needed to hear. I
don’t need to see the light inside of me. Just as long as it shines through, I’ll
leave the mystery to you. I leave the mystery, I leave the mystery, I leave the
mystery to you. I wondered how it could be this way. I tried to prove you wrong.
But what I wanted and what was, they were two different things. I got tired of
fighting with you for so long. I don’t need to agree with what is asked of me. I
know this to be true, I leave the mystery to you! I don’t need to free the God
inside of me. I have nothing left to do but leave the mystery to you. I leave the
mystery, I leave the mystery, I leave the mystery to you. I let it go, I open up, I
leave the mystery to you. Gopala Gopala Devakinandana Gopala….
9. ONLY ME
Let Go Let Go my weary friend. You can hold on, hold on, hold on to Me. There
was once a choice and now it’s gone. Now it’s only, only, it’s only me. You have
traveled far and wide and still you look for me? When I'm right here, so near and
always will be. There was once a path but now it’s done. Now it’s only, only, it’s
only me. Tide ebbs the tide flows. It comes and it goes. Rainfall, sunshine, it aint
yours and it aint mine. You were once lost but now you know, that it’s only, only,
it’s only me. You can punch holes, kick walls again and again. When I'm in you,
in view, beside you, behind you. Once you felt like you were all alone. Once you
thought that were on your own. Now It’s only, only, it’s only me. It’s only, only, it’s
only me.
10. ONE GOD
Jay Ambe Jagatambe Amba Bhavani Jay Ambe… One God, One Heart, One
Love and so many ways. One God, One Heart, One Love yet such a complicated
maze. How do we find a way out? Where do we find a key? How do we find the
way back? Follow me. Into the ocean, back to the sea, Into the Oneness… One
God, One Heart, One Love. Everyone agrees. One God, One Heart, One Love
but nobody sees. How do we see with new eyes? Enter into a new day. Find
something to believe in. Come this way. Into the clear light, back to the vast sky.
Out of the darkness One God, One Heart, One Love. One God, One Heart, One
Love… Jay Ambe Jagatambe Amba Bhavani Jay Ambe…
