| Sing to
Angels
By Michael Levine
Rhythms flow through me now
Gentle lulls to the beat of my prayer
A quiet calm feeds me now
A sacred call as I raise my hands
And I reach and He responds
A simple bond glues me now
And I am one with the beat of my prayer
A quiet song heals me now
A magic wand to relieve my despair
And I reach and He responds
Reaching with the endless Source of all creation
(Something in my heartbeat joins a timeless sound)
We can sing to Angels
(We can sing to Angels)
Diving down to the Source
My boat must sink to the deepest despairs
But I remain on board
I face the pain and the fears with my prayer
And I reach and He responds
CHORUS
And I feel a part of a whole that is larger than life on my own
Something that's larger than us
CHORUS
Why Go Home
By Michael Levine
I feel the heat in your soul
I want to tear down the walls
That freeze you cold.
I want to swallow your sins,
Let them melt on my tongue,
Let your troubles sink in
'Til we are one.
So why must you go back home alone?
I feel you reaching for me
I feel how your heart pleads you,
And still I need you
So why must you go back home alone?
Why go home? Why leave me stranded here tonight?
You know you only lose yourself if you leave me tonight
Why go home? Why when our love is so right?
I feel a need for peace in us and all I feel is fright
Why go home?
Stay with me tonight.
I want our bodies to merge
'Til our sexes converge
One with the Earth, one with the sky
Two sides of one soul
Both need love, both need healing
And still you're leaving.
So why must you go back home alone?
Why go home? Why leave me stranded here tonight?
You know you only lose yourself if you leave me tonight
Why go home? Why when our love is so right?
I feel a need for peace in us that cannot be denied.
Why go home?
The train barks in the distance
The leaves fall at night
The cars howling in my head
They won't crash at night.
The grass is just an illusion
The paved road untamed
But I can't let you lose it
'Cause I feel this pain
CHORUS
You got me searching after my soul
You've got me searching after the only truth.
Something from beyond tells me to love you...
Victory
by Michael Levine
When this house was erected,
Lusts unstable but strong
Nail and board intersected
The Garden's innocence gone.
Sighs, highs we try to find
Sighs, highs we find.
Walls were built in just hours.
Ceilings blocked us from G-d
We wove our secrets through corridors
And in our maze we got lost.
Disguised lies we try to hide
Disguised lies we hide.
Disguised lies we try to hide
Disguised lies are just lies...but
Somewhere on this climb I think I lost myself.
Reaching for the highest point I lost hold of my ground
And I almost stepped on someone else
for Victory.
Feeling trapped in our mazes,
We pushed our buildings much higher,
Painted stars on our ceilings.
In man-made wings we try to find the sky.
Sky high we try to climb
Sky high we climb
Sky high we try to climb
Sky high we fly...but
Somewhere on this climb I think I lost myself.
Reaching for the highest point I lost hold of my ground
And I almost stepped on someone else
for Victory.
Somewhere on this climb I think I lost myself.
Reaching for the highest point I lost hold of my ground
I must go back to where we fell
for Victory.
Pure Victory.
And I walk back to the Fall
My weaknesses and all.
And from somewhere a voice calls...
Fall back to the ground
And I let myself fall down...
Fire
By Michael Levine
Counting endless nights
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Turning out the lights,
I'm the one you want.
Dreams work best at night
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Who's to say what's right
When there is no wrong.
Counting endless days
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Winding through the maze
Leading through your heart.
Stumbling in a daze
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Somethinged and amazed
By the things you are...
Tripping through a path for you
I'm running dry, running dry
Trying to fight a war for you
And I only fight myself.
and I'm older now and I should know how
but your strategies have blown my dreams to waste...
Counting endless times
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Read between the lines
And tell me what you find.
In and out of rhymes
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Just turn out the lights
And we'll be alone...
Tripping through a path for you
I'm running dry, running dry
Trying to fight a war for you
And I only find myself.
and I'm older now and I should know how
but your strategies have blown my dreams to waste...
I'm on fire...
Unity
By Michael Levine
Inside of us all lies a stranger
The demon in pain we try to hide
We cast him aside as the Other
In fear we throw blame and crucify
Accepting the demon's horns as painful
I've bled from the soul, I've ached with life
But as I look into the eyes of Others
I see we share our pain from deep inside
Chorus:
And I am still around
And this time I can see myself surviving
This Unity I've found
Has conquered all my suffering
Let's me be who I can be, myself
And I am wiser now, and all the world is with me.
From top of the mountain came a vision
I looked on the world and had to cry
By facing those tears I learned my mission
To teach that pain and joy are one inside
CHORUS
We all try to dream but fail to notice
The dream is within us all the time
We all look for love when we feel lonely
But love is the Unity of life
CHORUS
I am wiser now
And my wisdom loves life's mystery.
Gravity
By Michael Levine & Bain Mattox
Something's got a hold on me and I'm falling.
I can't control my ecstasy 'cause I know you are the one.
And when all I've lived for is falling
All I do is turn to you and look into your eyes...
And life reveals its mystery.
You become my moment
breathing of my only breath
And time, it has no history
Planets spin around you
You are stronger than the sun
You move me
You center me
You focus me
You're my gravity.
Something's got control of me and I'm falling.
From deep beneath my wildest dreams I feel you in my soul.
And when all my passion is falling
All I do is turn to you and look into your eyes...
And life reveals its mystery.
You become my moment
breathing of my only breath
And time, it has no history
Planets spin around you
You are stronger than the sun
You move me
You center me
You focus me
You're my gravity.
How can I be wrong to feel this way?
Silence
By Michael Levine
Screaming with passion, rages overflowing
'Cause these feelings inside me don't know where they're going
I must find my center and get that river flowing
I will be free to release my soul from silence.
Stepping so slowly, cautiously I've gone,
But I'll rage when I dive in tonight.
These fears that control me no longer will I know
I will be free to release my soul from silence.
So I'm screaming deep in the night
'Cause somewhere in my soul my dream has died.
Trying to feel all the feelings I find
Somewhere deep within my mind.
Something is bubbling, coming to a boil
And I still can't release it with all my sweat and toil
I must stretch back this passion and let the spring uncoil
I will be free to release my soul from silence.
So I'm screaming deep in the night
'Cause somewhere in my soul my dream's alive.
Trying to feel all the feelings I find
Somewhere deep within my mind.
Here I go...
And I feel like I've been here before
As a child when I knew so much more
How to feel all the feelings I find
Somewhere deep within my mind...
Over My Head
By Michael Levine
Waking up from a lifelong dream,
Things are not the way they seem,
It's over my head.
Though it's all just in my mind,
I believe that I could fly
Right over my head.
It's just me...
Under the water, over my head.
Under the water, over my head.
Oh how I loved that dream,
Peacefully at sea
the sky was over my head.
How I could stay afloat
A mystery I'll never know
is over my head.
It's just me...
Under the water, over my head.
Under the water, over my head.
Oh how I felt the waves
Slide around my face and slip
right over my head.
So soft it wet my lips,
And I felt the kiss of death
Float over my head.
Ahhh....
Under the water, over my head.
Under the water, over my head.
Stolen Eye
By Michael Levine
In the middle of a dream today
I awoke and saw a side of me I've never known
An all-seeing eye
Trapped beneath the memories beyond the gates of pride
And I...
Was the thief that entered through those gates
My intrusion was the spark that makes creation burn
I stumbled in blind
Left the past behind me and I opened up my mind
To see the light
And I've got this stolen eye
Makes me see things in the night
Makes me see love in the people where I never thought I might
And I've got this stolen eye
To receive it I was blind
Was so misdirected, so infected by my daily life
So why's this stolen eye just watching in vain
With the vision I could feel life's pain
Tears of Acid streamed across my face, that river burned
Forming new lines,
Endless streams of wisdom leave me young and gray and wise
And I...
Let that river flow across my face
All the pain I felt could not erase a deeper joy
For all roads lead to one
From this view where all is true my body could not hold inside
The sea of light
And I've got this stolen eye
Makes me see things in the night
Makes me see love in the people where I never thought I might.
And I've got this stolen heart
Makes me see things in the dark
Leaves me reinjected, resurrected with a brand new spark
So why's this stolen eye always sitting way on high
Can we not be trusted with the love that never passes by
I am standing here trying to find a way.
I am standing here finding all the crossing roads in my life
Seem to disappear; all the world is one with everything in sight
God lets that river flow
If we all hold in our sorrows then we'll never know, never know
Why we feel this pain, all the endless suffering in our lives
And now I see, let go of the ego, everything will fly
But my body just won't hold the truth inside
So I overflow with peace and Light.
