MORNING CONVERSATIONS

I sit down in my own peace

Focused on a light that only I can see

Because it is what is inside of me

Morning conversations as the sunrise

With peace, love, and purity is what I find.

On my own path, walk past all life's lies.

I sit down in my own love.

Focused on its inclusion, looking past all illusions

A dream for everyone to be free

Morning conversations as the sunrise

With peace, love, and purity in my mind

From you, there is nothing I hide

I sit down in my own purity.

Focused on what makes me truly me

That is an eternal soul.

Morning conversations as the sunrise

With peace, love, and purity becomes only light.

On the alter tokens of moments and photos of loved ones who pass

I sit down in my own silence.

Focused on divine one from above

Forgetting titles and external fights

PASS ON ME

Got to have a dream beyond what I can see

Wondering what is my destiny

Life is so upsidedown got to know now

Pass on me everything I need

Peace and freedom are confusing to the uneducated mind.

Just want to live the privileged lie.

Got have a vision beyond what others believe.

Building the foundation of what makes me

Life is the music listen and turn it up loud.

Pass on me the secrets of being free

Purity and love are much more than a social activity.

Trying to understand wrong from right.

The recorded appreciation for inspiring the ego

This is not what feeds the soul.

Go inside, find that meditated sound.

REMEMBER THE SILENCE

Something is in the air some don't even care
The doors are locked the windows are closed
What does tomorrow hold

Sitting still as the sitar sounds
Hear the meditated reverberations all around
Now go inside and remember the silence

As the soul moves on as the love stays behind
Looking to the knowledge at this time
What does tomorrow hide

Sitting still as Ravi makes the sitar sing
Feel the meditated reverberations all around
Only inside we remember the silence

The days move by so slow not sure where to go
Some entranced by words of the uneducated mind
Praying for the resurrection of peace at this time

Sitting still as a lotus as the sitar rings
See the meditated reverberations of the soul
Everything you will find when you remember the silence

GOLDEN AGE

Living outside of my own dreams feeling so free
No desires just free-living it is beyond what you can see
It is my own world my own reality

No need for faith no need to pray
Living life in the golden age
No need for religion no need to be forgiven
When living in the golden age

Peace is not a page out of ancient history
It is a living thing inside of everybody
Close your eyes and see everything you would ever need

No need for rituals no need for sacred wine
Living life in the golden age
No need for the word that changes it's meaning
When living in the golden age

Love is an emotional verb
It is much more than just between a boy and a girl
If you don't know you must not be from this world

No need to touch just to make things fun
Living in the golden age
No need to walk when you can fly
When living in the golden age

REALIZATION OF THE SOUL

What do I really know
Now that I am old
Is there knowledge inside of me
Is there more for me to see

Is there another part I can be
That can make me free
Never to feel alone
Is a realization of the soul

The journey of life
Will take me through the day into the night
My karma I know
Will take me down a different road

What I have in me
Is a connection I need
One day I will feel whole
When I have a realization of the soul

FLUTE

Songs of wisdom from the heart

Letting you know in life, you have a larger part

A song that feeds the mind

It is the one you heard a million times

The father has the words

The mother has the tune

The sister plays the flute

Can you hear it in the back of the room

Sit down and listen to the story of this eternity

The story of 5000 dreams spoken just for you and me

Plant the seed one day you will be free

In your dreams climb the tree of peace

The father has the song

The mother has the voice to sing it

The sister plays the instrument

Just hear the echo of the flute in this room

Knowing who you are and knowing your path

Is one in the same don't ask for directions there is no map

The journey of the soul is the cycle of life

There will always a day and a night

The father has the sound of wisdom

The mother has voice of knowledge

The sister is the instrument 

Listen to the music of this flute

GOD SOUND

Sitting inside yourself
Trying to find what you always known
Listing for that sound that will lead you home

God Sound
The sounds of the birth of new life
The sounds of love's last breath
In the cycle where does it begin

Claiming you know it all
To prove it you want to build a wall
How does it achieve anything
When you're blind to everything

God Sound
Marching feet, wishing that is all is needed
Believing in the dreaming, his voice still singing
Is it something we truly believe in

To rest in peace makes a louder sound
Than to live in peace
Is free a state of being
Or just commodity with a price no one can afford

God Sound
In the silence of thoughts
Much more than the beating heart
Know yourself where goodness is apart

Find whatever anyone else hides
See it in their eyes
Where the thoughts of the mind hides
Know your side before you claim your pride

God Sound
The sound of home you've always known
The sound of breath of life beyond the cycle of time
In the birth of the universe hear it OM
The sound inside you the soul

OM SHANTI

Something deep inside of me
My personal connection to eternity
In a place, I can always be free

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the soul
Shanti is the peace that never gets old
A blissful dream that can't be told

The cycle of life has passed us many times
Man preaches about the direction
To a destination, he has never been
If you don't believe him it is just a sin

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the unseen goal
Shanti is the sweet tranquility

Just a spoonful in our tea 

In the way, you think is the peace
In the way, you talk the words of peace
In the way that you walk
You become the image of peace

Om Shanti
Om is the song of the universe
Shanti is calming lovingness in our mind
More than a gift feel the stillness
