Sunrise
This song is of no place
You can hear it any time
When love is lost at dawn
The power of the sun
Begins all life
Your secret name is called
Sunrise
We are praying for you
Sunrise
I am all
instr.
The mystery of the sun
And the morning star
Is a mystery of the heart
Sunrise
We are bleeding for you
Sunrise
All is new
solo
With glory and with grace
The golden light
Turns paupers into kings
In the new light of the morn’
Your soul will rise
And fly with eagle wings
Sunrise
I am all. All is new.

California (Golden State)
Sunlight soul, moonlight mile
I got a dream, I’m California bound
Train runs through my midnight mind
Let my worried blues ride the silver lines
Midnight train, take me home
Way out there to the fields of gold
Train runs through this lonesome song
I’m worried now, won’t be worried long
There’re 27 angels singing
On the road to home
I hear an echo of my mother crying
As I travel on
It’s a long way home, I know
I’m coming home
To the sound of my soul
Midnight train, take me home
Way out there to the fields of gold
The fog rolls off the misty mountain
Of my troubled soul
And my heart is like a freight train
It’s a-pounding along
It’s a long way home, I know
I’m coming home
To the sound of my soul
Sunlight soul, moonlight mile
I got a dream, I’m California bound
Oh, I’m coming home

Fathers
Here’s a lonesome song
Here’s a lonesome song
For all the fathers up in heaven
Dead and gone
What should we do?
What should we do?
When the angels and the saints
All look like you
Who will save your empires?
Who will run your farms?
Who will hold the kingdom?
Or a newborn in his arms?
The soul is like a river
And the water holy truth
But we’re left out in this ocean
Of a darker blues
Here’s a lonesome song
Here’s a lonesome song
For all the fathers up in heaven
That are gone

The Song of Songs
A young girl sits down in the forest
In her lover’s dream
Before he wakes
She sings the Song of Songs
You remember a thousand kisses
In the summer rain
But why it had to end
You can’t explain
It is love.
Love. Only love.
When my flaming tower of desire
Crumbles into sea
Oh, I hope that you’ll be waiting
There for me
I need love. Love. Oh love.
I need love. Only love. Oh love.
Love burns like a blazing fire
Brighter than the sun
The day you wear
The crown of Salomon
You need love.
Love. Only love.
In another life, another dream
My mother comes to me
Says my name is written
In the Song of Songs
For all I know, we’ll never know
God’s greatest mystery
But at least I learned
His secret melody
I am love. Love. Oh love.
I am love. Only love. Oh love.
We are love. Love. We are love.
We are love. Only Love. Only love.

Stardust
Now I walk alone in twilight
Thinking of the years gone by
Though our heartbeat always felt like one
We were often of two minds
Did you come here to surrender?
Did you come to set things right?
We are made of stardust
And we are fine
So I guess now that we’re older
This is where it falls apart
Brother what you’re calling love
Just breaks my heart
Instr.
We have roamed and we have rambled
On the dark side of the road
But in the sun we are as one
With a soul that shines like gold
Well I came here for forgiveness
Turn the darkness into light
When we return to stardust
We’ll be all right
Instr.
Let me place a heart shaped diamond
In the last bars of this song
I’ll write your name in stardust
Then I’ll be gone

Hurricane

Hurricane
For years and years
I’ve been looking for change
But there was nothing to comfort me
So, like a chained slave
I prayed to be saved
From the daydreams of being free
My feelings ran cold
Like a river that froze
And got lost on its way to the sea
Where I was chasing whales
And the glory of fame
Oh, I raged like a goddam hurricane
There’s a new morning
Waiting for you
Step out of the darkness
Into the blue
And when you were gone
It was well understood
That you weren’t coming back
You said goodbye for good
I was a little boy lost in the woods
Where nothing exists
Only moonlight and mist
And the shadow of what I became
Tired of the race, tired of the pain
Guess I put all the blame
On the hurricane
There’s a new morning
Waiting for you
With a glorious sunrise
That lights up the dew
Step out of the darkness
Into the blue
One day
The day finally came
I was ready to kneel
Left the valley of lost hope behind
For a kingdom
More humble and real
This morning is bliss
And I long for a kiss
But I’ll wait
I will wait
When the man in the mirror looks clean
It is calm and serene
In the eye of the hurricane
There’s a new morning
Waiting for you
With a glorious sunrise
That lights up the dew
10.000 chances
To change and be true
Step out of the darkness
Into the blue
Put your hand in mine
I’ll take you to the other side
Into the blue
Into the new

Blue Crystal Fire
Blue crystal fire
Blue crystal fire
Burn brightly in me
Burn brightly in me
In me my love
Smooth singing sunshine
Smooth singing sunshine
Wrap your blanket around me
Wrap your blanket around me
Around me my love
Fast flowing waterfall
Fast flowing waterfall
Wash my tears away
Wash my tears away
Away my love
Deep within the forest
Deep within the forest
There I wait for you
There I wait for you
For you my love
Deer with silver antlers
Deer with silver antlers
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
With me my love
Blue crystal fire
Blue crystal fire
Burn brightly in me
Burn brightly in me
In me my love

The Ballad of Dreams
Sometimes our dreams are wild, my love
Sometimes they’re small
But whatever color they might come to you
Better try to hold on
Color of rain
Color of sin
Color of love
That’s sleeping within, and
Dream that the sun swallows the night
Dream that the sun swallows the night
Song of love
Song of hate
It is time
For me to wake
Then someone gave you a name, my love
You who were free
And you followed a river that flows like a dream
You call destiny
River of stars
River of tears
River of love
That drowns all the fear, and
Dream that the sun swallows the night
Dream that the sun swallows the night
Song of love
Song of hate
It is time
For you to wake
The boy with black hair
Who fell from the stars
He talks to the soul
And quiets your mind
He sits there alone
Before he is gone
He turns and he smiles
Then he gives you the sun
Aaah
Sometimes the heart is dark, my love
Sometimes it’s free
So whatever life you hold in your mind
It’s a dream in a dream

Ultraviolet
The small child takes the sunburned hand
To walk home in the dark
While the mysteries of the universe
Light up the summer sky
This is heaven
We are starlight
Oh, a crown of a thousand suns
Transforms the soul of life
Oh, with love and only love
To ultraviolet light
And a gentle thought for those who pray
In a dark night of the mind
Your words will travel time and space
When you trust the light
This is heaven
Feel the sunrise
