Lyrics Morley
Mama You said if I ever got lost in a crowd
Follow your voice and I will, I will be found
I don’t know what happened, don’t know where I am
Don't know where you are, so I begin to
follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
Closing my eyes now - I can fly
High above mountains into the sky to
follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
Higher and higher the moon is so round
You are the blue long - thunder clouds
I follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
Bright yellow bird opens her wings
I hear your voice its your song she sings so I
follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
The soles of my feet - little soles of my feet
They’re the drum of your heart
Pounding the sky we are never apart
I follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
Great web of hearts do you know my name?
bring me back to my mama again won’t you
follow - follow the sound
follow - follow the sound
Every breath
You are the blessed one

Lyrics by Morley
hmmm...
a dream is a dream
is it real or make believe
the smiles and the sounds of love
singing soft singing clear so that nature can hear
the tenderness that were made of
i go to the water cause i know i am her daughter
she whispered these sweet words to me
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Let the world back in
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Let the world begin
You are the one the world becomes
Softly let the music sing
Lean yourself into me
You are a part of me and everything
You are star seed
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Let the world back in
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Let the world begin
You are the one the world becomes
Throw you star seeds to the wind
Throw you star seeds to the wind
hmmm...

Osé Osé O Osé Baba Osé O
Where are we where are we now my love?
We’re at the crossroad staring down Moral compass spinning round crumbling
empires masking their decay
Hardening shallows turning away - Away
Oceans apart no never been so close
Little feet cross the burning coast Running in circles in to the sun
Who is the one we have become become
Mmmm
Become?
But they’re rooting for us
Osé Osé O Osé Baba Osé O
Taking a knee taking a stand Twisting the point again and again Take to the streets
taking a stand Fighting for freedom again
Again and again - Woah x 3
But their rooting for us
Swaying with grace So luminous
They’re beckoning us in
Their rooting for us
Swaying with grace So luminous
They’re beckoning us in
To the way of peace, the way of non-violence, the way of love
Osé O Osé O Baba
See through the darkness
Swoop like crow
we come from where we headed we’ve always known
Osé Osé O Osé Baba Osé O

I can wait fo answers from far beyond the sun
I can see the distance in all the things I’ve done
Sadness takes its time to leave it always seems to be
You bless me when you kiss me
But the truth is what I need
Who do you love who do you trust?
I will work for lifetimes until our soul’s set free
I’ll extend myself beyond a prayer on bended knee
I found my calling inside the eyes of all things wild
One thing I must know like a mother knows her child
Who do you love who do you trust?
I’m waiting like tomorrow to take you by the hand and lead you into forever
Sweeten up my land
Sadness takes its time to leave it always seems to be
You bless me when you kiss me
Will you ever come to love me?
Come and let yourself be happy
A million reasons to deny yourself the love but baby why
It could all be so beautiful
It is so beautiful
Into forever you will you will be my lover you will be my king
Into forever you will you will be my lover you will be my queen
All through the seasons we were made to be love call us by our name
See into forever you were made to know love call us by our name
Who is the one love?
We ask to be sure of?
We’re one in the same
We are the one love the ones we can be sure of we will always change
Into the center of the cobalt blue flame back from where we came
Into the sunshine of the cobalt blue flame back from where we came
Into forever you will you will be my lover you will be my king
Into forever you will you will be my lover you will be my queen
We are the one love the ones we can be sure of we will always change
Who is the one love?
We ask to be sure of?
We're one in the same

Song by Charles Stepney and Richard Rudolph
Lyrics
Will somebody wear me to the fair?
(To the morning, sing a lovely flower)
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
(Mmh, mmh-mmh, mmh)
Will a child find me by a stream?
(In the lovely, in the sunny shower)
Ooh, kiss my petals, weave me through a dream
For all of these simple things and much more
A flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy, faith and hope
To people forlorn
Inside every man, lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within, he finds beauty and power
Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people
Everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness
And rejoice for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely
At the sign that a new time is born
For all of these simple things and much more
A flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy, faith and hope
To people forlorn
Inside every man, lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within, he finds beauty and power
Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people
Everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness
And rejoice for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears let your heart beat freely
At the sign that a new time is born
