Love to Give
Why don’t we stay?
We’re only here today
Holding on to something in you
In this refuge,
We have everything,
Holding on to nothing but Truth
We’ve got a lot of love to give
What ya’ gonna give?

Long Road to You
Leaving in silence
Following the pathway of the sun
Walking beyond walking
Every step gets closer to the One
Sleeping where the rivers cross
A crescent moon in dark and distant skies
Climbing up the mountain
Waiting for the snow to melt before my eyes
Pathya Margati Prema (The road of seeking unconditional, divine love)
Shuddha Marga Sat-Prema (is the purest path to true love)
Long ago, we played
In forests, flowers and dreams of eternal Spring
In the chill of Winter
It slipped away, this precious, simple thing
The long road to you
Through shadows in the valleys of my mind
Love beyond love, waking
A crystal mountain beckons us to fly
Pathya Margati Prema (The road of seeking unconditional, divine love)
Shuddha Marga Sat-Prema (is the purest path to true love)
Love beyond love, waking
A journey through the fire
Across the rivers raging
A pilgrim at your side
love beyond love is waking
Leaving in silence
Following the pathway of the sun
Walking beyond walking
Every step gets closer to the One
Sleeping where the rivers cross
A crescent moon in dark and distant skies
Climbing up the mountain
Waiting for the snow to melt before my eyes
Pathya Margati Prema (The road of seeking unconditional, divine love)
Shuddha Marga Sat-Prema (is the purest path to true love)
