Human Connection
By Hymnj
Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection
We were made to feel everything
Open up your heart
Now is the time to come apart
There is no need to be so strong anymore
In this space you’re safe you’re held
Now is the time to break that spell
Open the door you closed long before
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection
We were made to feel everything
There are losses, there are gains,
There is grief and joy and pain
And sometimes it might seem unbearable
But when you can release your mind
Find the pathway deep inside
You’ll get what you need
You will be received
Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection
We were made to feel everything
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go

One by One
By Nathan Raaths
Mother I am calling out to you
Bring my children back anew
Mother I am calling out to you
Bring my children back anew
One by one, one by one
One by one, one by one
Picking up pieces of my soul
Picking up pieces till I am whole
Picking up pieces of my soul
Picking up pieces till I am whole
One by one, one by one
One by one, one by one
Everyone wants the light ones
But nobody loves the dark
And everyone wants the right ones
But they don’t want the other half
Light and ark, light and dark
Light and ark, light and dark
SERENITY PRAYER
By Hymnj
Great Spirit grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change.
Great Spirit grant me the courage
To change the things I can
Great Spirit grant me the wisdom
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
When do I fight, when do I stand tall?
When do I yield, when do I fall?
What is the recipe for the sacred reciprocity
Between the Universe and I?
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
I release control and surrender to the flow
I release control and surrender to the flow
Of love that surrounds me
Of love that will heal me
Of love that will guide me
Of love that’s within me
Oh Lord grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change.
Oh Lord grant me the courage
To change the things I can
Oh Lord grant me the wisdom
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
Ayahuasca grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change.
Ayahuasca grant me the courage
To change the things I can
Ayahuasca grant me the wisdom
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
Darkest Cave
By Hymnj
Time is up
There’s no excuses
This game is running thin
You’ve played your cards
There’s no one left to blame
This won’t stop till you wise up
And say enoughs enough
Don’t be thinking you can’t loose it all
And I’ve been there before
I know what lies beyond that waiting door
And I’ve felt that pain
The kind you never want to feel again
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Taking chances, wrong romances
To fill that empty space
Cause your heart was broken a long time ago
The past is done but it’t not over until you turn the page
Your’e the only one that you need to save
And I’ve been there before
I know what lies beyond that waiting door
And I’ve felt that pain
The kind you never want to feel again
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
You’ve got to reach deep to reach out
You’ve got to purify the corners of your mind
You’ve got to call upon the power of the divine and guiding mother
And then you’ll find your way through to the other side
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Your’e the only one that you need to save
Time is up
There’s no excuses
This game is running thin
You’ve played your cards
There’s no one left to blameAccordion Content
ODE TO YOUR BODY
By Hymnj
This is the greatest love song
For someone whose dear and always so near
Unseen, unappreciated
The lover who held you before you were born
Take just a moment, look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see
Sacred and royal
Patient and loyal
The longest relationship you’ll ever have
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Soothe and caress it, nourish, protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish, protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Feel body, heal body, channel divine
Walk body, run body, this is your time
Speak through the spine, through the limbs and the mind
Up through the head, let your heart be your guide
Sweat body, spin body, spiral in space
Leap body, dance body this is your place
Hang in the heavens and roll on the ground
Give birth to existence and bring forth you sound
Haiyee!
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Set My Spirit Free
By Hymnj
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya (From ignorance, lead me to truth)
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya ( From darkness, lead me to light)
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya ( From death, lead me to immortality)
From the maze of my mind
Help me break free to the open spaces of my heart
I’ve been lost in a thousand stories
And they’ve been tearing me apart
All the lies I’ve been told, chasing fools gold
My need to please, combat the enemies
Well I am on my knees praying won’t you set my spirit free
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
Great Guide I call on you
Please open up my eyes
Lead me through confusion
Help me see through the disguises of my mind
Help me perceive from unreal to real
Tear this prison down
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Wont you set my spirit free
From the East to the West
Where I walk its my quest
To awaken hearts and minds
To release misunderstandings
About the Universe and God
One day when I die there’ll me no cause to cry
I’ll be way up there where the eagles fly
I’ll be singing my songs through the sacred fires
And all will come to peace
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya
SING YOUR WAY THROUGH
By Hymnj
There comes a point in your life
when all the chips are down
Where there’s no turning around
Sometimes the hardest thing to do
Is the one you need to choose
Where there’s no way out but through
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when it get too hard
And you’re at the doorway
Surrender to your soul, let your body take control
And Sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain
You’ve got the world to gain
You’ve got the world to gain
You’ve got yourself to gain
You’ve got yourself to gain
Everything in your life has prepared you for this moment
Did you listen to the omens
So call upon your higher power
Guides and angels will surround you
Mother Earth she will ground you
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when you get to the eye of the needle
Surrender to your soul
And let your body take control
And sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain
We must all walk our hero’s journey
The dark night of the soul
On our path to being whole
This is your initiation
The time to shed your skin
So your new life can begin
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when you get to the ring of fire
Surrender to your soul
And let your body take control
Sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain

New Tribe, Old Eyes
By Hymnj
From the water in the sky
To the bones on the ground
Broken bodies all around
Our mother without her crown
This is a land plagued by a restlessness
Divided by greed and doubt
So Spirit it is a calling us
Calling us to rise
Like a phoenix from the fire
Rise
Rise
Rise
From the forest to the oceans
Can you feel, can you hear the cries
While the thieves they are pillaging
Spreading fear and lies
Nowhere else to go, it’s our only home
Open your eyes
Thats why Spirit is is calling us
Calling us to rise
Like a phoenix from the fire
Rise
Rise
Rise
This is a calling to remember
A time we first walked the earth
When we danced beneath the naked sky
And dreamed with the trees and the birds
This is a calling to remember
Our true nature within
That breathes and moves will all livings things
The tide, the moon and the wind.
This is a calling to remember
How we were meant to be
Flowing in harmony with our great Mother
Under the sacred tree
I can feel this coming
A new generation rising
A new tribe with old eyes
We are rising
I can feel this coming
A new generation rising
A new tribe with old eyes
We are rising
A new tribe with old eyes
We are rising
TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
By Hmynj
The book is yet unwritten
Our story is still being told
A tale about how lives and how this will unfold
The ink is made of feelings
The pages are our hearts
The words are our emotions expressed as love
And as the many days they come and pass away
The question that we ask is: what is here to stay?
And one day when we are on our final resting place
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
Its not about how far you strayed, only that you found your way back home again
It does not matter how hard your heart became, only that you walked the road and you forgave
These are the only moments that will remain, when you can find compassion through all the pain
And rediscover who it is you really are
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are,
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
Its not about the wealth you made
The glory, reputation, nor the fame
It does not matter how much knowledge you’ve gained
Or the righteous path that you deemed to claim
There is only one true victory
The transformation of your own humanity
When you rediscover who it is you truly are
These are the only moments that your soul remembers
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are,
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
Its not about your story of wounding and pain
Or keeping score of who was wrong and whose to blame
It does not matter how dark your world became
Only that you healed and found your light again
There is no journey that ever goes wrong
Nothing that you cannot come back from
One day you will realise you are the one
Who is always welcome home like the prodigal son
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are,
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
The book is yet unwritten
Our story is still being told
A tale about how lives and how this will unfold
The ink is made of feelings
The pages are our hearts
The words are our emotions expressed as love
And as the many days they come and pass away
The question that we ask is: what is here to stay?
And one day when we are on our final resting place
These are the only moments that God remembers.

Grinded bones, sticks and stones
It’s time to bring lost children home
Grinded bones stick and stones
It’s time to bring them home!
Shake the bushes stomp the ground
Climb the trees and look around
They’re hiding there everywhere
Time to call them home!
We Shall be known by Karisha Longaker of MaMuse
We shall be known by the company we keep
By the ones who circle round to tend these fires
We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
The seeds of change, alive from deep within the earth
It is time now, it is time now that we thrive
It is time we lead ourselves into the well
It is time now, and what a time to be alive
In this Great Turning we shall learn to lead in love
In this Great Turning we shall learn to lead in love
Notes
This song calls us to learn to lead in love in these times of Great Turning. It inspires us to appreciate the good company we keep, and go deep into “the well”, our source our creativity, connection and ability to thrive – now! Composer Karisha Longaker, of the duo MaMuse, first received this song through in a dream. She says: “I woke from a dream where two dear old musical friends (one of whom has already passed) were beckoning me to come to my ‘creative place’. I followed them, their smiles and warm hearts asking me to come forward… I awoke from the dream with the first part of the song singing though me: ‘We shall be known by the company we keep’. It haunted me (…) and later rest of the words found themselves in the pages in my journal.”
Infinite Universe by Beautiful Chorus
‘I Believe Only in Love.
Everything else on earth lacks meaning.
Even if this world is leveled to the ground;
Even if the seas dry up and the mountains wear down;
Love will Live Forever in the Infinite Universe,
Forever in the Infinite Universe,
Forever in the Infinite Universe.
