Touch the Earth

Music & lyrics, 1996

I. The Raven’s Song

Instrumental

II. Touch the Earth

Touch the Earth
And you will know Peace
Touch the Ocean
And you will know Life

To stay
Awake
Surrounded by confusion
Holding firm to all that you are meant to see
Oh
To dream
Amidst the degredation
Emergence from the siren calls of sleep

Touch the Wind
And you will know Time
Touch the Flames
And you will know Dream

Wake up
Emerge
A glimpse of liberation
Contemplate the doorways that will set you free
Look
Look around
Beware the desperation
The temptation of the paths that promise ease

III. Emergence

Dance on the waters
Teach our sons and daughters
Of visions of futures
We just might conceive

Dance with the windstorms
The firelight, the earth-born
Shatter the darkness
Rebirth from the seas

From fighting through passion
To power, compassion
Evolving beyond
Narcissism, the ‘I’

Souls reincarnated
Stages of death stated
All souls are one
‘We are one’ is the cry

Of the Angels!

IV. The One & The Many

Touch the Heavens
You will see the All
Touch the Center
You will know the One

And the Many! 

To stay
Awake
Surrounded by confusion
Holding firm to all that you are meant to see

Wake up
Emerge
A glimpse of liberation
Contemplate the doorways that will set you free

To stay
Awake
Surrounded by confusion
Holding firm to all that you are meant to see

Wake up
Emerge
A glimpse of liberation
Contemplate the doorways that will set you free
