I have been this place before
I have stood upon the shore
Of destitution.
I have seen my heart soar
Into skys forever more
Cradled in the reality
Of hope.
I have been this place before
Weep not, weep not
For this has been my life
Throughout the toil
Joy and strife.
I have been this place before
And will remain here
For evermore.
Come join me
We will dance a jig
I have been this place before.

We are here and most everywhere.
But have we really been here?
Be sure to be present in your life.
It is the only life you have.

Powerful and immaculate
That’s what I want to be
Free floating over all my destiny
Seeing life as it should be
Glorious, magnificent needing
Nothing but me.

What makes it whole?
What makes it right?
Don’t know the answer on this night.
Striving to
Striving to be
The answer for all that need to see
Healthy, wholesome power and strength
Demure gentle carrying those in need.
We will rejoice
We will succeed
In making whole this life that’s right
For you and right for me.

We are busy with life.
But let us not forget where we come from or how we got here.
The past shouldn’t govern, only be aware.

Morose behaviour does not survive
Send no one, no one need apply.
Lone behaviour deemed deplored
Schemed and relevant in pasted demise.
Send the soldiers of disguise
Flog the masters, let them see
Morose behaviour does nothing
In a life of mortality.

Tender mercies follow me
Down the path
And cross the sea.
Tender mercies set me free
Of all this heartache
Anguish and hostility.
Tender mercies let me be
Happy, pleasant
Full of courtesy.
Tender mercies fill me
Full of grace, calm
And dignity.
Tender mercies now I see
Life and love
Can set me free.
Tender mercies let me be
A better person than
Even I thought I could be!

Seeing thru our life
Seeing all the strife
Seeing beauty
And climbing high above
As the world hands us
All we need to be loved
Seeing this will set us free
Seeing life as it should be.

We are here for a reason.
We live for a reason.
To find that reason is our life’s journey.

More comes to life
Seen with eyes
Not filled with misery.
Joy and happiness prevail
We know we cannot fail
Searching for a life indeed
A life I need
Travelling with a presence
That has utter bliss.
Searching we will find
Our destiny here on earth
And it will be
Yours and mine.
