Having Found - lyrics by Julie Lyon
Having found myself here
Don't look back
Don't look ahead
Gazing at the moon
All is exactly as it needs to be
Surrender to the flow of life
Having found there's beauty in most everything
Look around, it's everywhere
Having found that love can transform anything
Right now, here and now

It’s Raining Again - lyrics by Julie Lyon
It’s raining again and I can’t sleep
Love song stuck in my head
The one about love is something you keep
And you never leave some words unsaid
Some nights I count the stars and dream
Other nights our bed is cold
And the love song plays like a silent scream
Of a drama that never unfolds
It’s raining again, I close my eyes
A thousand dreams left to dream
The moon shines bright over velvet skies
It’s always later than it seems
Even the night has a will to survive
It will not be forsaken
But can’t you see among the lies
That love is unmistaken

Pramantha - lyrics by Julie Lyon
Time standing still
Hold your breath
Raise your face
To the sun
No war is won
Walking through fire
Only love
Sets us free
Day is Done
Be at peace or be at war
Fear is clawing at the door
Open hearts and fears will melt
Fan the universal flame
Dancing through life
Calm your fears, bare your heart
To the sun, it has begun
Clouds floating by
Just beneath the blue sky
We are free
Reassuring, whispered love beaming from the sky above
Setting fire on bended knee, live the universal flame

Hey There Baby - lyrics ©Julie Lyon
Well hey there baby
Dontcha think that maybe
We’re going nowhere fast but it’s a gas
This life we’re living
Always needs forgiving
Pass me my martini, I’m having a blast
Let’s go out dancing
S’better than romancing
You know that thing called love is such a bore
So why’d you do it
Really put me through it
Went and said I love you, I want something more.
Well hey there baby
Dontcha try to save me
I’m fine without your I love yous
I might get lonely
At least I’m not a phoney
Now hand me my martini and my walking shoes

You Are the One lyrics © Betsy Serafin
I see you
We’re all alone
Table for two
Outside there’s snow
I look in your eyes
Time moves real slow
I’m wondering how far this will go
You are the one I want to spend time with
Let’s make time stand still and do what we will
We’ll take it slow until we know about this.
Is it love? Is it love?
I still see you
When I’m alone
And that table for two
So long ago
That look in our eyes
How could we know
This is a love that will never grow old.
You are the one I want to spend time with
Let’s make time stand still and do what we will
We’ll take it slow until we know about this.
This is love. This is love.

Nuvyu - lyrics © Julie Lyon
Time is standing still again, again
I feel soul fire burning hot, your breath upon my cheek
Love has wrapped us up so tight but when
I saw the blood of yin and yang covering our hands I knew
Falling, stars are flickering, you and I alone
Hovering, nothing limiting, vision clearing my love
Time is standing still again
Time is racing by again, again
I know there is always blue sky just above the clouds
Who knows where our love will start or end
I don’t know but what is real is right in front of me
Ranging, ever changing, moments bounce a crazy waltz
You and I dance through life surreal taking time with destiny
Time is racing by again

Moonflower © Matt Lavelle
Only bloom at night
Often out of sight
You may never know us
Moonlight, precious moonlight
We are here for you dear
Only

Chasing a Dream - © Julie Lyon
Chasing a dream
Quiet close your eyes, watch the clouds roll through
wait, the falling rain, paints the sky to blue
Love cannot endure unless it moves, it never ends
Chasing the dream, Run, you have to follow where it leads
You never stop, you hold your breath until it's done
Passion sends you, love up-ends you
Look into the sun
Look into my eyes, can I see your soul?
every dance reveals, no one in control
Music makes our hearts sing tragic, joyful miseries
Chasing a dream, Stop, you never follow where it leads
you have to stop, you have to be, you're never done
Passion sends you, music frees you
watch the setting sun

Eternity - lyrics © Julie Lyon
Eternity
Comes to an end
Now light is dark
All things seen unseen
The snow will melt
and bloom the spring
new songs are sung
Breathing, feeling home
Calming the colors
Human you are the song
[interlude]
What will I dream
When I can't speak
Uncertainty
Silence speaks for me

Soul Dance - © Julie Lyon
Open your mind like a flower
Just let the sun come in
Challenge the dance of time
Freedom waits to be revealed
Feel, you think, you love, you lust
Real, until we’re dust to dust
You are perpetual motion
Let your soul dance
Divine imaginings
Just let your heart break free
Life is hallucinogenic
Colorful reality
Open your heart like the ocean
Your love is evident
Explore your destiny
Loving hearts cannot be tamed
Run, chasing your tail you try
Stop, and life will pass you by
Let music be your religion
Let your soul dance
Delight in mystery
Embrace humanity
Punishment teaches no lessons
You are the revolution
