Koda 03:18
There has to be a way in To recover what I was before Beneath the form And to see through this heart What these eyes could never show me And to flow softly, as a willow in the wind (Until my pulse entrains) Until my pulse entrains With the rhythm of the stars There has to be a way in There has to be a way in To discover the life beneath the form I know there's a way in

Jelly 03:32
I let the story burn Scattered the ash in the sand Let the ocean wash me inside out and in again She whispered to me like an old friend Said "make some space just to embrace it and to let you in And I know it's hard with so much doubt around you, but Don't let it make you forget you're alive When you can love yourself and enjoy the ride Cause it's only a matter of time Before they wonder what's on the other side Let you in, let you in, you will Stuck in the cycle, think that's got some kinda grip on you Don't let it cripple you, don't let it cripple you It's like a dream, take a dive, this life is yes or no It ain't a question though Look how that jelly flow Oh I know it's hard with so much doubt around you, just Don't let it make you forget you're alive When you can love yourself and enjoy the ride Cause it's only a matter of time Before they wonder what's on the other side Let you in, let you in, you will

The Infinite 02:50
Move along now boy Don't stop, look, or listen To the mad ones here Don't let them tell you what you're missin' You just keep your head down To look around would be unheard of And the last thing we'd want Is for anyone to hear the word of All the problems down the line To which your wandering mind could lead If only you'd identify with our blissfully ignorant kind, We'd show you the value in material, How to emphasize the literal Don't empathize with a single soul The likes of which you'll never know You'll never know, no But I promise that there's more to this life And where the Infinite invites you, you'll never know If where the Infinite invites you, you never go So move along now boy They've got a life planned out for you And that means giving in to living in a world deprived of truth Because choice is inconvenient So they'll make them all for you how to think and where to work and what to watch and what to do And in the meantime just consume Without a choice, without a clue And just go on like nothing's wrong when simple joy is revenue The free world you'll never know You'll never know, you'll never know, no But I promise that there's more to this life And where the Infinite invites you, you'll never know If where the Infinite invites you, you never go

Departure 03:36
"You're saying to yourself, ‘I won't wake up until I feel I deserve it. I won't wake up until I've made it difficult for me to wake up. So I invent for myself an elaborate system of delaying my waking up. I put myself through this test and that test, and when I feel it's been sufficiently arduous, then at last I may admit to myself who I really am... and draw aside the veil. And realize that, after all, when all is said and done... I am that I am... which is the name of God.’" --Alan Watts You're standing on the edge of it Wondering who or what you're gonna be when you dive in If you're quiet, you'll notice The moment is posing a question (Remember) Eternity's waiting on you To open your eyes, open your heart, let go of all that you knew, let yourself scream, let yourself cry It's okay to let it out She holds you in grace A constant embrace A hopeful reminder You're standing on the edge You're standing on the edge (Whenever you’re ready) There’s a peace in taking the first step (You’re coming home now) Breathe in love, breathe in love As you dive in Say yes with every breath And dive in

If you've made it through the mirror Welcome to the new frontier We'd been waiting for the day that We would see your smiling face here It's the gift of life It's only right that life Should know itself so well To awaken to a million radiant faces Reflecting its humble warmth Don't fight it We're delighted To share this moment with you And we're all inside you Just here to remind you Who you are Who we are Free of judgment Free to share the gift Free to touch the hearts of those Who've yet to feel the shift Share the gift Do you remember? Do you remember now? Breathe it in Share the gift of life Share the gift Let it flow Such a simple thing it is Now that you're here Share the gift of life
