(Jenn) Day breaks and the shadows run away Day breaks in a moment of silence and the thunderclouds are rollin' in the city it's comin' Can you hear it? It's comin' it's callin', it's comin', it's callin' (Sam) Let's get it started, let's get it started, cause I don't want to wind up broken-hearted. (Open your eyes) Start livin' in your heart and don't let it harden. (Open your eyes) You're livin' in the garden, darlin' (open your eyes) Woooooooooooooo... The QUICKENING Time's are changin, they're rearranging The QUICKENING So keep it movin', keep it movin (Day breaks and the shadows run away Day breaks in a moment of silence and the thunderclouds are rollin in the city it's comin Can you hear it? It's comin' it's callin', it's comin', it's callin') Stop telling me you're only human (Open your eyes) You're much more than what they've told you and what they've sold you (Open your eyes) You're what the universe unfolds through (Open your eyes) Let it unfold you... Woooooooooo... The QUICKENING It's getting stranger, yet there's no danger The QUICKENING Times are changing its coming soon times are changing its coming soon times are changing its coming soon times are changing its coming soon times are changing

Oh Yeah! 03:41
Come awaken in the purification Burn through the sensation Raise the vibration See through the illusion Of the digital revolution Use your heart as a tool to see through the confusion Turn up the fire within Que up the choir and sing A Hallelujah flip on the modem wire me in Soon as this record spins the whole world will acquire a taste And catapult us, shoot us even higher in space Oh yeah! Ain’t it nice when life flow like water Oh yeah! Man I’m grateful for every dolla Oh yeah! Now I know what I I been missin Oh yeah! All my dreams are comin’ to fruition Check it I plant the seed like a plug in my microphone, Emergency telephone I got The Morning Bird fever and I’ll never leave her If you ain’t got no faith I’ll make you a believer Yeah, This is an ancient kinda sound Lost no more, we show you how to get down We take rules and regulations and we set them on fire We’ve come to inspire, yeah. Oh yeah! Ain’t it nice when life flow like water Oh yeah! Man I’m grateful for every dolla Oh yeah! Now I know what I I been missin Oh yeah! All my dreams are comin’ to fruition Here come the sun… ya know I can rely on ya darlin Make me feel like the day is young… Yo, Jen-e-Fresh What up How your microphone sound? Sounds nice All right, show me how ya get down The day is young you say So let us find a way To generate, create a space and then go romp and play My heart is open wide And there’s a fire inside I use it up to burn the mist that’s foggin up your eyes Time to free your soul Let all heaviness go Shed your skin and let’s begin to see beyond the mold You’re more than what you see And what you claim to be Change your mind, become divine Manifest your destiny. Oh yeah! Ain’t it nice when life flow like water Oh yeah! Man I’m grateful for every dolla Oh yeah! Now I know what I I been missin Oh yeah! All my dreams are comin’ to fruition

Soar 03:22
I wanna soar with you as a bird In the suns golden light of truth Guided by the winds of love On humble wings like angels do. Awaken with the morning birds A new dawn is upon this earth Await your spiritual rebirth Miracles are hard at work Healing for the ones that hurt Answers for the ones who search A fountain waits for those who thirst A new dawn is upon this earth I wanna soar Cut these chains and set me free Into the song Of life Played upon These strings that intertwine Us together as one – to the most high Awaken with the morning birds A new dawn is upon this earth Await your spiritual rebirth Miracles are hard at work Healing for the ones that hurt Answers for the ones who search A fountain waits for those who thirst A new dawn is upon this earth Stillness for the minds that race Closure for the hearts that ache A light for those who’ve lost their way A new dawn is upon this place I wanna soar…. Hallelujah…..

There's a Time, There's a Place... In my hand I hold a rose, It's beauty overflows onto the floor Who is it for? This kind of love It's much greater than all the stars above And all below And now, I know at last The future's come to pass And in this moment it seems I have awaken from my dream, my dream I see you standing there With your long brown hair your gentle smile I see your hearts desire I feel your sacred love I feel it raise me up So go on and lift me high And fulfill my hearts desire Ill be singing, wooooooo wooooo oh hoooooo.... Oh yeah There's a time, there's a place There's a tempo and a pace I don't know what life will bring yet everything is perfectly in swing oh, in swing I see you standing there Your long brown curly hair I see your dark brown eyes Oh and they look so wise Oh and it wont be long till life is like a song and I'll feel like a child beaming with my hearts desire And we'll be sayin Wooooo wooooo oh hoooooo..... Oh yeah. Yeah! Woooooo woooooooo oh hoooooooo.... Oh yeah.

She wore a mask, to hide her pain In New Orleans, a mask, her aid A pretty dress, some makeup on So no one sees the joy is gone The lights go on, The music starts Faint melody within her heart The people bow, they wave their hands This dance of life Has just began. A Mask, her aid helps her believe this dance is where she’s meant to be. She won’t attempt to gaze beneath. To find the soul concealed by grief. Small shell on an early shore A bauble now who’s lost it’s core Soft waves heard in it’s empty halls A ghost of what has been before Her cry is lost within the sound Movement’s where the peace is found. She spins around and there she finds Another mask to hide behind. A Mask, her aid helps her believe this dance is where she’s meant to be. She won’t attempt to gaze beneath. To find the soul concealed by grief. A Mask, her aid helps her believe this dance is where she’s meant to be. She won’t attempt to gaze beneath. To find the soul concealed by grief.

Rose Horses 03:59
Ya heard a voice, inside your head Saying your love has come, the night we met Rose Horses in the Northern Sky Strange forces in both our live Brought us together You were shining like the sun OH My beating heart had become numb Rose Horses in the Northern Sky Strange forces in both our live Brought us together I was the king of moodswing until I heard you sing Your soothing song, hey, two can play at that game And the pain was gone The famous song that came along at that moment of time To find a mind that complimented mine, my oh my what divine design Grab a mic, shine a light you were like the dawn in the dead of the night I was headed for the light but it was never so bright It never felt so right Yes, a new day had arrived man The groove was in the pocket, I was feelin the vibe Feeling the tides turn the doors openin' wide That's when the forces that be brought you and I together!

Will you teach me how to be a child once again? It’s easy all you do is look within When I look within I see a fire inside, and it’s burning up my innocent desire. Jump in the fire and purify your soul. It’s only then that you will become whole. It’s time like these. Makes you question all the pieces of The embers of your love Remember your heart’s desire, when you jump into that fire. I want the kind of love the sun has for the moon. The reflection of yourself is coming soon. Yet every night the darkness clouds my mind, and in the shadows of this earth it’s hard to find. The kind of love you seek’s not far away. It’s behind the veil that shields the light of day. It’s time like these. Makes you question all the pieces of The embers of your love Remember your heart’s desire, when you jump into that fire…

There’s a light goin on in the park, in the park And in the city they still walkin in dark, in the dark And it’s free – what we believe. The angels there are playin their harps, oh the harp And the devil’s waiting there in the dark, yes the dark Just to see – what you choose to be. So when the light goes on it’s then you’ll know That it won’t be long Woahoa, woahoa oooooooo It’s then you’ll know! The new ideas they’re waiting to spark Light the spark And the puppets they still playing their parts, yeah their parts in the sceme of this crazy dream. Oh and the wise have woken up in their hearts, yes their hearts And most people they still living apart woa apart From the sea, of unity! So when the light goes on it’s then you’ll know That it won’t be long Woahoa, woahoa oooooooo It’s then you’ll know! The new ideas they’re waiting to spark Light the spark And the puppets they still playing their parts, yeah their parts in the sceme of this crazy dream. Oh and the wise have woken up in their hearts, yes their hearts And most people they still living apart woa apart From the sea, of unity! So when the light goes on it’s then you’ll know That it won’t be long Woahoa, woahoa oooooooo It’s then you’ll know! Woooooooo… time to let go Time to let go!

Take Control 03:07
(Chorus): Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul Make sure it's gonna make you whole Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll... Your mind is gonna take its toll... Soon as I bless the mike, the world tunes in The frequency is loud and clear depending on what world you're in The sound is surround, it's not loose or thin And I ain't just another rapper talkin' about juice and gin I ain't here for the fame, or to make a name for myself Or to see my multiplatinum sellin' CD on the shelf You can see for yourself, the blind are leading the blind Instead of freeing themselves from the chains that bind I use a new thread, everytime I lace the rhyme And I'm not confined, I color outside the lines of space and time And the day is mine Beat is breathless, rhymes infectious, ya know The world at large, never expected this. (Chorus): Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul Make sure it's gonna make you whole Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll... Your mind is gonna take its toll... All this, Is limitless and lawless The flow of life is flawless Whatever name you call it Harnessing relentless energy That's endless And it's, it's just beginning, I'm just beginning to sense it's Intensity, intrinsically It's life-giving, enlightening Jen-e-fresh, get on the mic and sing. (Chorus): Lord, Take Control, make a choice before you take your soul Make sure it's gonna make you whole Use your heart or your mind is gonna take its toll... Your mind is gonna take its toll...

De Light 02:22
Bring unification all across the nations Woah, what we're doin ain't right Stop the indignation, Cease the complications of a world that won't stop the fight! Oh the world has always been this way, (Well, that's what people say) Someone's gotta make the first move They say that we should go within Oh how do we begin? No one's shown us what to do. All of the contenders Have their own agendas No one's working for the whole All this separation, Lack communication They're not speaking from their souls So, who is gonna lead the way, into a brighter day? Which direction do we turn? The destruction of the world we're in It keeps us worryin' How are we ever gonna learn? The light, de-light woooooooah De light, de light Delight delight..... Live in delight Start givin delight But the world has always been this way, (Well, that's what people say) Someone's gotta make the first move They say that we should go within, Oh how do we begin? No one's shown us what to do... Only YOU.

You said goodbye you said be careful my love The world is dangerous Ain't nothing safe or sacred anymore Everyone’s too strange to trust I looked in your eyes and I called your bluff Said it ain't the same for us Gods not gonna let us down this time He’s gonna lift us up He’s gonna life us up, we’re gonna lose ourselves in his love We’re gonna give it up, gonna give it up to the hand of God Tried getting high, but that wasn’t enough My soul was still asleep So I laid myself down in the light one night Hoping you would look down on me Time stood still and my heart was filled With the nectar from her cup I knew god wasn’t gonna let me down this time He was gonna life me up. He’s gonna life us up, we’re gonna lose ourselves in his love We’re gonna give it up, gonna give it up to the hand of God Wooooah So long Ive been forcing things to go my way But I found some things you cant control These things the mind cant orchestrate Are better left up to the soul I'm no longer a broken man Using anger as his crutch I ain't gonna let myself down this time I'm gonna life myself up He’s gonna life us up, we’re gonna lose ourselves in his love We’re gonna give it up, gonna give it up to the hand of God

Dylan Thomas 02:42
Out, out. I’‘m going outta my mind Leave the past behind The time is now, now The day is mine Feel the sunshine Into the shadows of my life. Like a sacred knife Cutting through the webs There ain’t no freedom without the fight Don’t go gently into the night Someone once said. Doubt, doubt I don’t need ya no more. It’s time to even the score The time is now, now The day is mine Feel the sunshine Into the shadows of my life. Like a sacred knife Cutting through the webs There ain’t no freedom without the fight Don’t go gently into the night Someone once said.

What is this feeling inside me? The one I just can't ignore. This pain inside is just cryin', yeah, yeah. Oh will love open the door to some Understanding, a peaceful ending My heart and soul they implore This empty feeling that keeps appearing I just can't take anymore There's part of me that is dying Another's taking the floor It's last breath I'm denying, yeah, yeah Till I surrender it all to some Understanding that's never-ending My heart and soul they explore And keep me searchin' for my truth I'm certain Of what I'll find at my core. No more no more no more x 4 Open the door the door x 2 Oh lord oh lord oh lord x 2 ... Oh will love open the door to some Understanding that's never-ending My heart and soul they explore And keep me searchin' for my truth I'm certain Of what I'll find at my core.

Blue Moon 03:19
In my heart It’s clear as day Still there must be a simpler way To share the feelings in my soul…. so To capture these emotions I watch for them to bloom Like a flower which opens Once in a blue moon Honey I love you x3 And I will love thee forever Eternity’s too soon For the love we share together Comes once in a blue moon Honey I love you x3 I know that it’s easy To open these old wounds But you can heal them completely Once in a blue moon Honey I love you x3
