Peace On Earth

In a manger lying
Silent stars are shining
Rest in dreamless slumber
Eyes around all in wonder

Heaven and earth are turning
Round the hearth fire is burning
Sheltered from the cruel storm
Peace on earth is new born

 

Pacha Mama

Huaca Pacha Mama (
Священное Место Матери Земли)
Huaca Saqsaywaman (

Huaca Yachaq Runa (

Santa Maria

Far the horizon
Hove to the wind
We're sailing the sea
To the edge of the World

Bow to the waves
All to the earth's end
We're sailing the sea
To the edge of the World

 

Sunlight Shining Through Cloud

Amazing grace! How sweet that sound
Has saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
Was blind, but now I see.

And I, want to feel sun on my face.
And I, I feel a shadow in its place.

Was grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.

And I, want to feel sun on my face,
And I, I feel a shadow in its place.

We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.
We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

And I, want to feel sun on my face,
And I feel a shadow in its place.

We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.
We're the sunlight shining through cloud,
When we're standing free, proud.

Liberation

When the birds sing outside
And you see the trees
Changing to green
The sun invites one
To be out in the open air
When the sky is so blue, then
Oh then, I wish for so much!

And the best remedy
For those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
Is to go outside
Somewhere, where they can be quite alone
With the heavens, nature and God.

(Взято из дневника Анны Франк.)

 

Amber Light

Amber light
Of this new morning
Amber light
Clear, bright and warming
Overnight
The earth adorning
Amber light
A new age is dawning
