Born To Shine

I see it in your eyes, your spirit tries to shine but it’s subdued
It’s how you spend your time, how you use your mind, it’s how you’re used
I can hear it in your voice, so many choices given away
You were born to shine, not to wallow in your mind day after day
It’s time to awaken, it’s time to be free
It’s time to align your heart with all you’re meant to be
It’s time to disentangle all the knots that you have tied
To let yourself unravel all the pain you’ve held inside
It’s time to awaken, to feel your inner flame
To call upon your spirit, speak the holy name
It’s time to sing your anthem, the one you came to sing
To blow the horn of destiny, let the bells of freedom ring
You were never just a cog in someone’s big machine
You’re as brilliant as a million suns, you were born to be seen
You can step out of that prison now, let your armor fall away
You were born to shine, not to hide behind your mind day after day
It’s time to awaken, it’s time to be free
It’s time to align your heart with all you’re meant to be
It’s time to weave the fabric given as your life
Warp and weft revealing all the love you’ve held inside
It’s time to awaken, feel your inner flame
To call upon your spirit, speak the holy name
It’s time to sing your anthem, the one no one else can sing
To blow the horn of destiny, let the bells of freedom ring
We were born to shine
We’re as brilliant as the stars
May the life we wrap around us
Reveal the light we are
Om Gang Ganapataye Namaha
You were born to shine, not to hide behind the scenes
You can step out of the shadows now and let yourself be seen

Play Me Like A Flute

Play me like a flute, Sing me like a song
I thought I was alone, You’ve been here all along
I sail you like the wind, I chase you like a dream
Whisper me awake, Bathe me in your stream
Om Vishnave Namaha
I wake in the night, I can feel you’ve been there
I savor your scent, it hangs in the air
My heart spreads its wings, and it flies like a prayer
Can’t go back to the dream, I’ve been caught by your stare
Play me like a flute, Sing me like a song
I thought I was alone, You’ve been here all along
I sail you like the wind, I chase you like a dream
Whisper me awake, Bathe me in your stream
You’re the breath within my breath, the shining in my eyes
The beating of my heart is your beautiful disguise
I’m nothing without you, I’m a puppet in your hands
My feet are on your stage, pull my strings and make me dance
The dust from your feet is the nectar of love
The shape of your name on my lips lifts me up
I offer my thirst and I reach for your cup
I offer my life and I wait for your touch
Play me like a flute, Sing me like a song
I thought I was alone, You’ve been here all along
I sail you like the wind, I chase you like a dream
Whisper me awake, Bathe me in your stream
You’re the breath within my breath, the shining in my eyes
The beating of my heart is your beautiful disguise
I’m nothing without you, I’m a puppet in your hands
My feet are on your stage, pull my strings and make me dance
Hari Hari Bol Hari Hari Bol
Hari Hari Bol Hari Hari Bol
Om Vishnave Namaha

Let It Open

There is a love that knows no enemies
No boundaries, no walls
There is a heart as vast as the universe
And it knows every ache, every fall
There is a love that is an ecosphere
And I want to bring you here, let you feel
That the knowing in your soul that you have
No enemies, no boundaries, is real
There is a love that flows through space and time
There's no finish line, no end
And in every way you were made to live that love
To be that love, my friend
Do you hope, do you pray?
Or have you stashed your hopes away?
Do you love to be love?
Have you forgotten what you're made of?
Does the song in your heart find a voice in your life?
Can you let it open more?
There is a love that flows from the sun to you
From the moon to you, from the Earth
There is a heart that is waiting inside of you
Waiting to be born from you, given birth
There is a love that flows from my guru's feet
Flows like an endless stream, like rain
This power has come to redeem all that hides from love
Every loneliness, every pain
Do you hope, do you pray?
Or have you stashed your hopes away?
Do you love to be love?
Have you forgotten what you're made of?
Does the song in your heart find a voice in your life?
Can you let it open more?

Sing Ram

Rama Rama Bolo, Bolo Bolo Ram
Let the rhythms of your heart awaken the lyrics of your soul
Let the melody embrace you. Release into the flow
Let the sky be filled with singing, the Earth is waiting for your song
Let the bells resound with ringing, all of Heaven sings along
Let every dream you’ve ever dreamed
And every hope your body holds
Find wings of aspiration in the lyrics of your soul
Sing Ram, Sing Ram
Let the power of the Name open up the way
Raise your voice above the turmoil, hold nothing back at all
Weave a tapestry of rapture, destroy the pressing walls
When we join our songs together, when our hearts become as one
The seeds that heaven planted will finds sweet reunion
Rama Rama Bolo, Bolo Bolo Ram
Sing Ram, Sing Ram
Let the power of the Name open up the way
Rama Rama Bolo, Bolo Bolo Ram
- "Rama Bolo" means "Sing Ram". Each of us has a song living within our soul, waiting to be expressed. The name of Ram, when sung with praise and devotion, opens up the way to hearing the lyrics of that song, and embodying its essence.

Om Rudra Netraya Vidmahe
Maha Tejaya Dhimahi
Tanno Agni Prachodayat
You say you’re scared
Afraid and alone in a world with its teeth bared
So small on this big stage and unprepared
How could you dare?
But beneath that fear is a burning like a flame
And the light that leaps from your eye won’t be contained
Your heart beat’s pulsing rhythms can’t be tamed
By your shame
Your life is a gift upon the Earth
Your love is a balm that soothes the pains of birth
(repeat)
Om Rudra Netraya Vidmahe
Maha Tejaya Dhimahi
Tanno Agni Prachodayat
Beneath your fear is a burning like a flame
And the light that leaps from your soul won’t be contained
Your heart beat’s pulsing rhythms can’t be tamed
By your shame
And you’ll rise on the wings of the love that brought you here
You’ll soar like the voice that sings you out so clear
In the light of dawn the shadows disappear
And so will your fear
The sense of smallness that surrounds you, encumbers and confounds you, won’t always be around you, hemming you in
The essence at your core that you’ve been longing for, will unveil itself and pour out through your skin
Every limiting conception, every filter of perception, all that’s false is bound to fall away
And then you’ll stand sincere in truth, no lack, no greed, no need for proof, completely whole and holy, unafraid
Om Rudra Netraya Vidmahe
Maha Tejaya Dhimahi
Tanno Agni Prachodayat
