Why does it have to be anything, Why does it have to be love, Why does it have to be real to us, For it to be real at all, Can we go deeper than these words, Beyond this “me and you” thing, Let’s leave our shoes outside at the door, Don’t wanna make another mark again, There is no difference, There is no difference, In acceptance and faith, There is no difference, There is no difference, In knowing and loving, There is no difference, There is no difference, In my heart and yours.

Be 05:26
A small life, Full of big love, Is all I, is all I really need, I don't have to prove nothing, Least of all, least of all, To me, So if you want to be free,  And you just got to be free, If you want to be free, And you just got to be free, You want to be free, And you just got to be free, Then be Turns out, Philosophy is weak, In the face of real, Real, real fear There's nothing you can say, To yourself, To make it disappear So if you want to be free,  And you just got to be free, If you want to be free,  And you just got to be free, You want to be free,  And you just got to be free, Then be… Just be This life is one long dream from which, I wish to awake, Not so that it will end but just so, I can catch a break, From forgetting to remember, That in this magic weave, We are all just children here, Playin' make-believe Sittin' on the kitchen floor, Like any old cliché, Finding pain in black and white, Cause everything to me, Looks grey So if you want to be free,  And you just got to be free, If you want to be free,  And you just got to be free, You want to be free,  And you just got to be free Then be… Just be, Just be… You just got to be

I Love You 05:42
I can't tell you that I want you, I can't tell you that I need you, Cause it goes beyond that,  Yeah this goes beyond that, I could tell you that I wouldn't, Leave your side I would not go, But where can I now, That's away from you? I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You  I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You  Can I ever say your name, And make it sound as beautiful as you are? And if these thoughts are all I have, Then they all belong to you, there is no other Now I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You  I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You  You are the sun,  I am the flower, To Your will, I bend, Of Your light, I colour, At dawn I become, But a glimpse of Your beauty, At dusk, I return, Fulfilled by my duty, No creature on Earth, Does go without grace, For all things are known, By the warmth of Your gaze, My Father, my Light, My heart's sweet delight, Life is lived only, By Your loving child  Now I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You  I love You, I love You, I love, I love, I love You

Paradise 04:08
When did vanity replace humanity, Held in captivity, but the beast we feed daily, Know not ourselves, but fighting anyway, The truth, as it stands; alone. My brothers and sisters, Did we forget all the differences we never had? It was always just us, playing in the sun, The truth as it stands; alone.  The whole world must be drunk, Seeing two instead of One, Remember unity in duality, Paradise isn't just a dream,
We can make it real Where we come and where we go, Love Love Love, Where we come and where we go, Love, 
Where we come and where we go, Love Love Love, Where we come and where we go, Love 

Love, love, love ∞

Fear not, The answer to your prayers, Let them teach you, Teach you what you know, This is the home, The home you never left, So lay your burdens down, Lay them down, If it comes from me, 
Then it will surely pass, But if it comes through me, Then it will surely live, So what good am I, 
Without where I belong? What good am I, 
Without where I belong? Serve not,  Two masters, But serve the One, Serve the One in both, Words are, But a distortion of the truth, So why do we, All have so much to talk about? If it comes from me, 
Then it will surely pass, But if it comes through me, 
Then it will surely live, So what good am I, 
Without where I belong? What good am I, 
Without where I belong?

Release Me 01:50
This ain’t coming from the heart, This is coming from a girl who, Didn’t get what she wants, So she just gotta let it out, I just gotta let it out, 
See, I done fell in love, oh, But is it really true love, hey, If it’s got me thinking, and thinking about, What’s truly going on, What’s going on?

 Man, I thought I got over this shit, Reached a higher position, Oh but it’s foolish to think that, Receiving wisdom is the same, As embodying wisdom, So ooh release me, I pray, Lord, release me

Who are we really talking to, When we talk, talk, talk, So believing that we're saying something true, How can you say something is true? Who are you? Nobody created you, Not even you, So what makes you think, You're in Control, Nobody's in control, There's nothing going on, In this dream, Nothing going wrong, Honey, it's just a dream, Don't worry, there's not a step, You can take off beat, Even with two left feet, You're always where you need to be, There's nothing going on, In this dream, Nothing going wrong, Honey, it's just a dream, Rest your weary mind, Rest your weary heart, Rest just as you are, Rest in who... You are Rest in who you are, Rest just as you are, Perfect as you are Who put the beat inside of your heart, Who moves the breathe around your beautiful body, Who plays the dreams in your mind when you sleep, And then who wakes up and believes anything's real, Who are you? Nobody, And nobody is perfect, You're nobody And you're perfect ∞

about

Some albums accompany a broken heart, some a blossoming romance or the stirring of revolution, but this album accompanies the search for a deeper love and understanding of reality - thoughts of the seeker dressed as soul jams.
