Memories 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1 Memories, who am I without? Seem essential for me to be me Identity? Who do I become Day that I forget - wipe the slate clean? Chorus What survives when this memory is history, Born again, no recollection of this life? Like my last life Verse 2 Memories, make me me today I believe define whom I now play Identity for this life at least Give the one context for adventure Instrumental Repeat Chorus [Spoken] Yet here I am, and if you think about, does my not remembering past lives compromise my present life experience in any way? And perhaps in fact recollection of past lives would interfere with my current endeavour ... prevent me getting into character properly, or fully realising my chosen life mission?

Verse 1 I don't know what you are come here for I can't say why you have taken birth But I suspect there's something you desire You can get only if you forget stuff Chorus 1 Aren't we all just players on life's stage So called adversity serving me Helps me taste, facilitates feeling Forgiveness needs something to let go Verse 2 I don't know what you are after here I can't say with any certainty Yet I suspect there's something you require You can get only if you make believe Chorus 2 Aren't we all just players on life's stage So called adversity serving me Helps me taste, facilitates feeling Cold revenge needs something to return Verse 3 I don't know what you will manifest I can't guess what dream you next will choose Still I suspect it's something you enjoy You can get only if you conjure up Chorus 3 Aren't we all just players on life's stage So called adversity serving me Helps me taste, facilitates feeling Emotion experience adventure

Another Song 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1 So here I stand My certainty Now have come to doubt Or disbelieve Verse 2 Those former facts No longer serve Why you preach to me, Try hold me back? Chorus v1 I'm moving on Know what I mean? Another song to play my melody Verse 3 But don't get me wrong There's no regret Yet the time is come To kiss goodbye Chorus v2 I'm moving on Know what I mean? Another song to sing in harmony Instrumental Verse 4 But before I leave Now celebrate What a dream we lived And the 'we' was great Spoken Thank you, and remember "In the greater scheme of things, temporary does not mean without value, or flawed. It just means not permanent. And in any case, our feeling is always real".

Chorus A Expression divine is everywhere Perfection sublime is ev'rything And though I strive to see your smile always My mind gets in between sometimes Chorus B Expression divine is all around me Perfection sublime flows up and down And though I try recognise your face Sometimes life games get in the way Verse 1 Here I stand again Can only hold my hands high To see the soul forgot But I may yet succeed the next time Repeat Chorus A Instrumental Verse 2 Try in ev'ry moment see Another opportunity Per chance to know the soul To go beyond the roles we play Repeat Chorus B (variation of) Expression divine is all around me Perfection sublime flows up and down And though I try recognise your face Sometimes mind games get in the way
