THE RIVER河流 (Reprise)
There is a river that I've discovered
It flows downstream to everything I desire
I paddled so hard against the current, I did not know
That all I needed was to let the oars go and just flow
我發現了這麼一條河
她帶來一切我所想望的
我曾如此奮力划槳逆流而上
卻不知啊我只須任它順流而去Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram {Praise, Praise God!}
Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram
Om Mani Padme Hum {A lotus grows out of the mud/out of difficulty beauty arises}Rama Rama Rama Rama Ram
Never knew what I had until I looked around
Once I began to feel grateful it was you I found
lessons learned, bridges crossed to get to where you are
Let's lose ourselves in this moment, we've come so far
And I say,
從不知我擁有什麼直到我環目四顧
一旦懂得感恩我便找到了你
學了教訓, 跨過了橋, 終於來到你的身邊
經過如此長路, 且讓我們一塊迷失在此刻
我說 -Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram
Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram
Om Mani Padme Hum
Rama Rama Rama Rama RamI know it can be hard to realize this truth
The change you've wanted
Starts with you!
我知道這可能難以理解
你所想要的改變
由你開始Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram
Rama rama rama, jai jai Ram

THE GUEST HOUSE
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. - Rumi -

We've no less days to sing Love's praise...

HALLELUJAH
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
our love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken HallelujahHallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who claims to have seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah… - Leonard Cohen -

Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum(Ave Maria! Ave Maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's prayer!
Thou canst hear though from the wild,
Thou canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
Though banish'd, outcast and reviled -
Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!)Om Namah Shivaya Gurave

LONG TIME SUN
Om Tryambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvaarukimiva Bandhanaan
Mrityor Mukshiiya Maamritat (repeated throughout the majority of the song)
{We Meditate on the Three-eyed reality Which permeates and nourishes all like a fragrance. May we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality, Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper.}
[This Mahamritunjaya Mantra of Shiva, is to protect and cure the persons from diseases, fear of death.]"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
May the long time sun
Shine upon you
All love Surround you, Surround you!
願亙古的太陽照著你
所有的愛環繞著你,環繞著你And the Pure Light that burns bright within you
Guide your way home, Guide your way home!
清明的光自內點燃
引導你的歸途,引導你的歸途 -

PULL THROUGH
I just want to take the time to honor you
You breathe life in me, give me strength to pull through
我只想榮耀你
你讓我重生, 給予我力量挺過一切I am glad I found you
You've opened up my eyes
To the Strength I hold inside
我真高興遇見了你
你使我看見自己深藏的力量om gum ganapatayei namaha {Om and salutations to the remover of obstacles}

[The positive effects of this mantra may not be so clearly seen or described as some of the others: a seeming increase in good fortune or luck; the ability to make the best of a set of circumstances which may occur; an increase in positive mental or emotional disposition; an easier route to becoming physically fit. Yet these few phrases do not begin to exhaust the benefits of using this mantra. It seems to brighten or optimize nearly everything in life.]Sometimes I come crashing down
At times I get discouraged
Where's courage when pain is all around?
Now it's been said that fear is part of the path
Gotta get back up, hold on, just be yourself
I want to climb this mountain, I know you'd catch me if I fell
有時我一敗塗地
有時我十分沮喪
當痛苦觸手可及時, 勇氣何處尋?
既然懼怕是路程的一部分
必須再站起緊緊抓穩, 作你自己
我要登上這山
我知道如果我墜落你會接住我om gum ganapatayei namaha
om gum ganapatayei namaha
om sharavana bhavaya namaha
namahaDon't give up
You are loved
You've got to find the silver lining
You have the strength to get back up
不要放棄
有人愛著你
你必須找出逆境中的希望
你必有力量重新站起

A MANTRA is a mystical energy encased in a sound structure. Every mantra contains within its vibration a certain power. Upon concentration and repetition of a given mantra, its energy is liberated and takes form...
GAYATRI MANTRA
There is this sense of insecurity I feel I cover it up, burry it deep but it stays just as real Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by these emotions As they go up and down Like waves out on the ocean 我感覺焦慮不安 我想隱藏但它卻如此真實 有時我被這一切覆沒 它們上上下下 就如海上的浪潮
AUM BHOOR BHUWAH SWAHA, TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASAYA DHEEMAHI DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODAYAT
{“The universe is filled with the golden light of the Sun, shining from Mother and Father Divine, to remind us of our true nature.” -- The Gayatri mantra inspires and protects us by awakening our Divine intuition, illuminating our spiritual intelligence and protecting us from all negative energies.}
And she said, Just find the stillness, take a breath You're not alone Like a seed into a tree See how you've grown So much compassion here, can you let it fill your soul? Our hearts beat as one, together we are whole 她說 尋得靜止, 吸口氣 你並不孤獨 你的成長正如種子成樹 你能讓如此多的悲憫填滿你的靈魂嗎? 我們的心跳同步, 結合為一
AUM BHOOR BHUWAH SWAHA, TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASAYA DHEEMAHI DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODAYAT Dheemahi...
