Hi All,
As many of you know, per my previous posts of lyrics from the band LIVE ... I find their song lyrics to be deep, profound and inspirational, yogically speaking.
And so, per the fact I have at least a few more (songs/lyrics) of LIVE's I'd like to share with you, I decided to put them all in a single thread (starting now).
In Peace, In Joy, In The Heart of ALL,
Kirtanman |

Radiant Sea
She's just a goddess in a pair of Diesel jeans
He's is just a poor boy, somehow a warrior priest
I am walking 'round with nothin'
I can hardly breathe
I can hardly breathe
I can hardly breathe
Finally, I can see my destiny
Leave all these doubts behind me
Find my destiny in the radiant sea
Of this love
Shinin' like a doctor in a dark ocean of disease
Feel the presence of that one will bring you to your knees
Take me to that place inside
Where we are always free
We are always free
We are always free
Finally, I can see my destiny
Leave all these doubts behind me
Find my destiny in the radiant sea
Of this love
This world's like a sea
We move, we're too smooth
We got the groove
Don't ask me to prove the truth
It's a flame that burns the light
We were livin' before, baby
Open up the door, baby
We're too smooth, baby
Too true, baby
Too cool to settle for it less, baby
The songs we sing
The breaths that bring
The tune that drowns this thing
In the radiant sea of love
Finally, I can see my destiny
Leave all these doubts behind me
Find my destiny in the radiant sea
Of this love
Of this love
Finally, yeah
Finally, yeah
To your love
Yeah
Finally, I can see my destiny
Leave all these doubts behind me

I ALONE
It's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
i sank into eden with you
alone in the church by and by
i'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself,
chained to fate
i alone love you
i alone tempt you
i alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve
alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there by yourself
chained to fate
Never!
i alone love you
i alone tempt you
i alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
oh, now, we took it back too far,
only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you, all these rhythms that you hide
only love can save us now, all these riddles that you burn

Love Shines (a song for my daughters about God)
on a crystal clear blue mornin'
there is a peace that only you can know
it is truth and love and it is always there
even if you fall down
even if you fall down, love shines
oh, it shines
like an eternal sun it shines
oh, love shines
like an eternal sun it shines
think of gentle Jesus
think of the Buddha underneath his tree
they taught the world about love
and how we all can be
how we can all be free
open our hearts and see love shine
oh, it shines
like an eternal sun it shines
oh, love shines
like an eternal sun it shines
oh, it shines
like an eternal sun, love shines
it shines
like a revolution
in your mind
like a revolution
in your mind
like a revolution
in your mind |

ALL I NEED
all i need is right here on my skin
you get what you get with me girl
you get the grace and the sting
count to three and i'll be on my knees
tryin' to set you free girl
tryin' hard to make you see
that my love is to stay
my love here to stay
open your heart, you can find your own way
i found they're all the same
but my love is here to stay
all i need is witherin' on that tree
the fruit of all knowledge darlin'
the one you were supposed to give to me
now I sit here like a buddha in this chair
watchin' your spectacle unfold
i'm sorry, i don't mean to stare
but baby now
my love is here to stay
my love is here to stay
open your heart, you can find your own way
i found they're all the same
my love is here to stay
yeah!
like the sun that shines behinds the mind
like the one before all space and time
like the sun that shines behind
like the sun that shines behind the mind |

Wings
weighin' on your mind
like a ball and chain
like a destiny to run from
division in your soul
keepin' you from whole
i can't bear to see you cryin'
the weight
that lays on your shoulders
could be the wings
that carry you home
sometimes you've got to die
to be born again
sometimes you've to fight
sometimes you've got to learn
sometimes you've got to burn
the old brush out
so the new can grow
the weight
that lays on your shoulders
could be the wings
that carry you home
could be the wings
could be the wings
could be the wings
could be the wings
like two long lost friends
like two long lost friends
like two long lost friends |

FOREVER
Looking for desert rain
In the corners of my mind
Feeling so far away
From the source of love divine
Two travelers on the road
Just a book of secrets
And trouble on every side
Keep holding my hand tonight
As we face this furnace
Something tells me
That we can run from these flames
Or we can stand together in faith
Forever and ever
The dark of the night
The bright of the dawn
Forever and ever
I’ll stay here with you ’til the end of the storm
‘Til the end of the storm
Babe, look where we’ve come from
Look what we’ve been through
Remember the times we were spared
Didn’t know what to do
Didn’t know what to do
The enemy’s at the door
And here we are again, deja vu
Now we can run from this place
Or we can stand together in faith
Forever and ever
The dark of the night
The bright of the dawn
Forever and ever
I’ll stay here with you ’til the end of the storm
AUM!
Troubled times, they will come
With vengeance and spite in their eyes
Love's Will Be Done
Forever and ever
The dark of the night
The bright of the dawn
Forever and ever
I’ll stay here with you ’til the end of the storm
Forever and ever
Forever and ever

WALK INTO THIS ROOM
(Ed Kowalczyk from LIVE w/Neneh Cherry)
Don't let 'em get to your heart
Don't lose your diamonds
swimmin' In a lake
when it's only God
The whole wide world
feels like a shrine
built to the worker bees
Who stole it from God anyhow
Lay it down child
Lay it down child
And walk into this room
Don't let 'em get to your spark
That little light in the back of everything that says
this isn't for matter, Love
The whole wide world
feels like a clan
of mad scientists
removing the juice
So they can freeze-dry you
and put you in a box
Lay it down child
Lay it down child
And walk into this room
all made with love for you
Lay it down child
You can
You can
Lay it down child
And walk into this room
A hundred candles
to make the walls come alive
A little frankinsence
to sweeten the air just right
Now take my hand
And open the door
And open the door
Lay it down child
You can
You can
Lay it down child
And walk into this room
Walk into this room
Lay it down child
Just lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Lay it down
Into this room
**
Lay It Down (Song, Audio Only - Beautiful!!)
I'm somewhat familiar with Ed/LIVE's approach, these days; he/they don't often manage to blow me away.
THIS song blows me away.
(And yes, that an AUM on Ed's guitar, and yes, he's holding Jnana Mudra with his right hand, in the still pic that goes with the song.)
There is a tidal wave of global bhakti, lifting ALL.
And it sounds a lot like singing.
And it looks a lot like US.
In the Bliss of Ekarasa*,
Kirtanman
*Ekarasa - Sanskrit ... translates as both One Taste & One Essence.
