lyrics

I can’t let myself get weak and fragile So I keep my body and my mind fit and agile Flying with the moon, gliding through ages Leaving my unique handwriting on the dusty pages I lived a couple days pretending I was fifty What are the things I would take to the future with me? And if the future isn’t then, but it’s now Is the younger version of myself making the older proud? I let it go, I let it – let it go Everything I think about and everything I know I breathe it out, so that I can breathe in Energy for a new day I believe in I let it go, I let it – let it go Everything I think about and everything I know I breathe it out, so that I can breathe in Energy for a new day I believe in What’s on my horizon? Gonsofus means positive fire rising Burning as the time’s wheels are turning The future can be luring But today is the future for which we’re yearning all I let it go, I let it – let it go Everything I think about and everything I know I breathe it out, so that I can breathe in Energy for a new day I believe in I let it go, I let it – let it go Everything I think about and everything I know I breathe it out, so that I can breathe in Energy for a new day I believe in We came and went like ages We left our marks on stones We wrote a million pages We broke a hundred bones And now, at last… Don’t we all know that the ink dries fast?

Doorways 04:58
lyrics
A steady eye – a steady mind An easy heart – an easy way And as the moments fade away I step away and start to find Always in and out of doorways Looking for the lost ways Hidden in the now Time sways In and out of my days Once I find it it fades Always with an elegance that my mind cannot define Formulation of a thought Compilation of a mind One to shine for many days By the winds and with the waves Like a serpent as it winds Time will carry me away Always in and out of doorways Looking for the lost ways Hidden in the now Time sways In and out of my days Once I find it it fades Always with an elegance that my mind cannot define

Dust 04:17
lyrics
Воды времени, волны вселенные Спираль наш поводырь Нам и так все понятно Жизнь это – карта Страх это – пыль Воды времени, волны вселенные Спираль наш поводырь Глаза мы закрыв смотрим вперед На завтрашний мир Время не беги Время-время не беги

Come Along 06:26
lyrics
Two little moonstones in your earing I’m hearing thoughts spinning in your breathing Twice the power in the zone that we’re in We’re feeling mighty telepathic healing Never settle for less, like stress Never miss a chance to bless, each breath entering your chest You undress your mind for me – do it with mine It’s time to climb; it’s a test, yes, but we’re gonna pass it with time Together is better – collective evolution potion This emotional ocean calming down We’re rising up high above the town It’s time to free our minds; evolution is now So come along… The more we know – the more we grow The more we let our minds go - the more love we show The more that we trust - the farther we go The more that we fuss - the harder it’s to let go of all the ego The more that we fight, the more that we stress The harder it gets to get a little truth in the mess The more we think time is a thing that can hurt you We used to know that patience is a virtue Come along…
