WONDERLAND When you see stars in the blue sky, and rainbows in the moonlight You’re probably thinking something isn’t right You could be wrong about that When you see trees dripping diamonds and buildings made of moonbeams You’re probably thinking things are not as they seem You might be right about that Who knows what dreams are really made of? Who says what can and can’t be real? So much of life is shared illusion, the limits and confusion We’re trapped upon the Ferris wheel When we’re in wonderland Yeah , wonderland Oceans of pearls in the green grass, the wind a harpist in the tall, tall trees Blue birds soaring in a symphony Laughter floating on a star Look at the love in the girl’s eyes and feel your hearts connecting That’s a miracle reflecting The truth of who we really are Who knows what dreams are really made of? Who says what can and can’t be real? So much of life is shared illusion, the limits and confusion We’re trapped upon the Ferris wheel When we’re in Suspended animation Catching glimpses of the outside looking in Fleeting flights of fascination As we open to discovering And set about recovering the keys To wonderland, yeah, wonderland Remnants of set expectations color how our lives surprise us Texture how our hearts revise us When we let them reign supreme Celebrate all that’s within us and the power of the human will It’s the only thing that moves us still Fueled by everything we dream Who knows what dreams are really made of? Who says what can and can’t be real? So much of life is shared illusion, the limits and confusion We’re trapped upon the Ferris wheel When we’re in wonderland Yeah , wonderland Wonderland So get off this crazy ride and stroll around wonderland

lyrics

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS Is there a rhythm or a smell or a shape to freedom? Is there a meaning to a word that sounds like love? When does giving up a dream feel a lot like dying? Why is want the only thing there’s plenty of? Hear it calling Can one man’s evil be another man’s salvation? Is one world hidden under multiples of two? Can a need be shaped by what someone is selling? Can a truth become another point of view? Hear it calling, A whisper dawning Ask your questions Your time is now We tumble into prisons that we cannot see Chasing after answers when the questions hold the key Is beauty really in the eye of the beholder? Are words of judgment in the lexicon of love? Can choosing peace bear sweeter fruit than greed and violence? Are the answers from within or from above? Hear it calling, A whisper dawning Ask your questions The time is now Ask your questions The time is now Ask your questions Your time is now

IT’S A FINE LINE It’s a fine line between lucky and cursed Between the last to know and the first to see It’s a flipping of a coin between love and hate Between healing and hurt and the grace to be Oooh Is it over if nobody says a goodbye Will you walk away knowing that he’ll close the door and never ask why Can he comfort you when every touch makes you bleed Is it kindness when every gift that he gives you communicates need And doubt plants its seed It’s a fine line between lucky and cursed Between the last to know and the first to see It’s a flipping of a coin between love and hate Between healing and hurt and the grace to be Oooh Silent judgments are weaving their lies through your heart Unheard promises, happily-ever-afters splinter apart Hope is haunting you, you want so much to believe Who will you choose; freedom’s glove lays the challenge bare at your feet It’s yours to complete It’s a fine line between lucky and cursed Between the last to know and the first to see It’s a flipping of a coin between love and hate Between healing and hurt and the grace to be It’s a fine line between lucky and cursed Between the last to know and the first to see It’s a flipping of a coin between love and hate Between healing and hurt and the grace to be Oooh

JUST BE LOVE Tiny ghosts won’t tip the scales The ugliness may well prevail Can freedom sanctify sin? Strangers rushing into fiery hells Heroes’ tales, silent bells Dancers on the head of a pin And the great world spins When we can’t see love That’s when we have to be love Even as our small worlds blow apart When we can’t see love That’s when we have to rise above When fear and anger tempt our hearts Just be love Bring your tears to the riverside Your shattered smiles, your picked-clean pride Bare your screaming souls to God Take your solace at the mother’s breast Count the scars, get the new wounds dressed Watch your hands drip clean with blood The constant flood When we can’t see love That’s when we have to be love Even as our small worlds blow apart When we can’t see love That’s when we have to rise above When fear and anger grip our hearts Just be love Just be love Be the lighthouse in the storm (just be love) Through the mayhem hold the calm (just be love) Be the strength to carry on (just be love) To the darkness bring the dawn (just be love) Just be love

MISSING YOU I can hear the leaves, shivering with pleasure as the wind blows through I can hear the leaves, rustling, restless, longing after I can hear the leaves, waving a thousand goodbyes I can hear the leaves, I can hear the leaves, I can hear the leaves Missing you I can see the sun, stretching out its arms to light your way I can see the sun, radiant rays reach down to kiss you I can see the sun, I know it warms you, I want to warm you too I can see the sun, I can see the sun, I can see the sun Missing you In a world that’s full of good-byes And a thousand failed tries I should just move on But I get so tired of being strong And not knowing what went wrong And now you’re gone Ooh I can feel the rain, washing clean the road that lies ahead I can feel the rain, teary drops of independence I can feel the rain, is it raining for you too? I can feel the rain, I can feel the rain, I can feel the rain Missing you

COURAGE IN GOODBYE Counting days in lost tomorrows Looking back on unshed sorrows Thinking things will work out one day, some day Dreams of flying ever higher Locking cages ever tighter Wishing I could have it both ways Finding the courage in goodbye Learning the way to be a voluntary refugee Without a place to hide If I conquer all my demons Will I find the key to freedom Or just invent another fear to cling to Hiding from the thing I’m seeking Building walls to keep from peeking Into secrets already seen through Finding the courage in goodbye Learning the way to be a voluntary refugee Without a place to hide Ba da dum, ba da dum, ba da dum Ba da da dum Ba da dum, ba da dum, ba Can I say my destination Is the constant invitation To finding out there’s really no there, is there Everything is in this moment With all its joys and all its torments Everything is right now, right here Finding the courage in goodbye Learning the way to be a voluntary refugee Without a place to hide Give it up, let it go, everything is in this moment Find yourself where you are, say hello

THE TONING SONG If you feel like the world has got you down And you feel separate from everything around Breathe into stillness, feel your feet upon the ground And let love create the universal sound Ohm If you’re lost and you’re weary to the bone Remember who you are and that you’re always home Your life is yours to live; it’s really all you own Remind yourself, breathe in and sound the tone Ohm We can act in peace and trust And let fear and worry go We can choose light and love And surrender to the flow Ohm So remember, when your head is in a whirl Wisdom is the truth we seek, our heart its only pearl So every woman, every man and boy and girl Breathe into light and sound your peace into the world Ohm

DEVOTIONAL Bring to me all of you Ecstasy waits for us In our hearts innocence lives All our dreams sing to us Lullabies promising To our hearts all they can give For love Weaving our remembering Breathing wings into our surrendering Bring to me all of you Ecstasy waits for us In our hearts innocence lives For love Breathing our remembering Weaving wings into our surrendering Aaah

SHINE I’ve got a secret and I’m gonna tell it to you I’ve got a secret and I’m gonna tell it to you ’Cause you can see it shine, You can see it shine I’ve got a love and I’m gonna share it with you I’ve got a love and I’m gonna share it with you ’Cause you can see it shine, You can see it shine Shine Everybody shine Come on and shine I’ve got hope and I’m gonna give it to you I’ve got hope and I’m gonna give it to you ’Cause you can see it shine, You can see it shine ’Cause you can see it shine, You can see it shine Shine

REMEMBER WHAT LOVE IS There are shadows, sometimes hiding Can we meet them without fighting Can we say that we are not afraid Can we reach past what is hurting Can we hear without perverting Can we trust that we will find the way Hold on, hold on tight We can get this right Remember what love is We might have forgotten or closed the door But knowing what love is The heart always makes the room for more Where there’s fear and where there’s anger We can make each other strangers And we lose ourselves along the way Can we take each other slowly Learn to love each other wholly Can we show that we are not afraid Hold on, hold on tight We can get this right Remember what love is We might have forgotten or closed the door But knowing what love is The heart always makes the room for more Remember what love is We might have forgotten or closed the door But knowing what love is The heart always makes the room for more Let the light shine again, let the love be renewed, let the world come home Let the light shine on in you, let the light shine on Let the light shine, let the love grow, bring the world home, make it happen
