Letra
Walk me over this horizon Let the sun's light warm my face Once again the times are changin' Once again I lost my way Well the words of ancient poets Fall like dust upon my shoes Greed has robbed me of my vision Turned my heart from higher truths So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe and honor bound Take my heart to higher ground I have walked too long in darkness I have walked too long alone Blindly clutching fists of diamonds That I found were only stones I would trade the world of ages For a warmer hand to hold The path of light is narrow But it leads to streets of gold So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe and honor bound Take my heart to higher ground In this world we move through shadows Never sure of what we see While the truth that lies between us Come and share the truth with me So take my hand and lift me higher Be my love and my desire Hold me safe and honor bound Take my heart to higher higher ground Hmm hmm hmm hmm - At the Same Time4:18
Letra
Think of all the hearts Beating in the world At the same time Think of all the faces And the stories they could tell At the same time Think of all the eyes Looking out into this world Trying to make some sense of what we see Think of all the ways we have of seeing Think of all the ways there are of being Think of all the children Being born into this world At the same time Feel your love surround them Through the years they'll need to grow At the same time Just think of all the hands That will be reaching for a dream Think of all the dreams that could come true Yes if the hands we're reaching with Could come together Joining me and you When it comes to thinking of tomorrow We must protect our fragile destiny In this prescious life there's no time to borrow The time has come to be a family Ohhh... Think of all the love Pouring from our hearts At the same time Yes think of all the light our looks Can shine and grow this world At the same time At the same time Yes think what we've been givin And yet think what we could lose All of life is in our trembling hands It's time to overcome our fears And join to build a world that loves and understands It helps to think of all the hearts Beating in the world And hope for all the hearts Healing in the world There's a healing music in our hearts Beating in this world At the same time At the same time - Tell Him4:53
- On Holy Ground6:14
- If I Could4:25
Letra
If I Could I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes Give you courage in a world of compromise Yes I would If I could I would teach you all the things I've never learned And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned Yes I would If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But the part of life I gave you isn't mine I've watched you grow So I could let you go If I could I would help you make it through the hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could If I live in a time and place where you don't want to be You don't have to walk along this road with me My yesterday won't have to be your way If I knew How I'd try to change the world I brought you to And there isn't very much that I can do But I would If I could If I could I would try to shield your innocence from time But that part of life I gave you isn't mine I watched you grow so I could let you go If, if I could I would help you make it through those hungry years But I know that I can never cry your tears But I would If I could Yes I would Yes I would If I could - Circle4:15
Letra
Some say the walls betweeen us stand so tall they don't see there's just one sun shining on us all I say we each choose roads to call our own but none of us is travelling through this universe alone and this circle just goes on and on it began before us it will be here when we've gone and this circle just goes on and on and on connecting our humanity joining me to you and you to me seasons keep spinning on the wheel of time we stand we fall we struggle up the mountains we must climb different dreams may colour what we see ahead but our lives are strong together on a common thread and this circle (circle) just goes on and on (on and on) it began before us it will be here when we've gone and this circle just goes on and on and on connecting our humanity joining me to you and you to me around and round and round and round we go around and round and round we go love and learn and change and grow round and round and round we go and this circle touches everyone as it crosses every boundary underneath the sun and this circle just goes on and on it began before us it will be here when we're gone yes this circle just goes on and on and on someday we will come to see I'm joined to you and you to me - The Water Is Wide/Deep River5:32

Letra
Everything must change Nothing stays the same Everyone must change No one stays the same The young become the old And mysteries do unfold Cause that's the way of time Nothing and no one goes unchanged There are not many things in life You can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And hummingbirds do fly Winter turns to spring A wounded heart will heal But never much too soon Yes Everything must change The young become the old And mysteries do unfold Cause that's the way of time Nothing and no one goes unchanged There are not many things in life You can be sure of Except rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And butterflies do fly Rain comes from the clouds Sun lights up the sky And music And music Makes me cry - Avinu Malkeinu4:07
