VERSE 1:
Just in from Newark airport
To LAX feelin’ blessed
An interview with the radio people
Wanna’ know
Where ya’ been & how ya’ been
Looking good now girl
Somethings different
Well I seen some weary nights and days
But ya’ sister girl’s doin’ way ok
Decided I should take a chance
And be the me that I really am
No longer playin’ small these days
Catering to your insecurities
No longer playin’ small
Been there done that
Now I walk tall
Dancin’ ‘round with mediocrity
No longer are ya’ gonna step on me
Cause now I’m free
chorus
Free to be the real me
Spirit’s feelin’ high
No make-up
My hair blowin in the wind
Comfortable in my skin
VERSE 2:
Dancin’ the celestial dance
I gotta say this feels great
But the truth about it is
I didn’t always feel this way
Self loathing, denial
A downward driven spiral
Seemed to be a reality
Director and the star of my own movie
Now I’m not sayin’
That other’s didn’t play their part
But as the one in charge
I gave them my power from the very start
Then one day I woke up and realized that
It was time to renew and take my life back
So now I’m free…
Chorus [RETURN TO TOP]
Child of God
VERSE 1:
Bent over on my knees
In a paranoid trance
Talkin’ to myself
Thinkin’ once again
No not again!
Oh Lord no! Not again
I can’t take another minute. No!
Said I would not end up here no more
But here I am once again
Same lesson, different time
Once again!
CHANNEL:
But in the midst of my murmurin’
And my complainin’
I hear a small voice
This is what it is sayin’
“Why do you worry
About the things you can’t control?”
You’re here again
Because the lesson that’s at hand
Is somethin’ that ya’ just can’t understand
CHORUS:
Beyond your circumstances lies much more
You’re a child of God
Speak life into your situation ‘cause you’re
You’re a child of God
BRIDGE:
Never mind about tomorrow’s pain
Forget about the tears of yesterday
Right now, right here is where you start
Engage the moment
Look up from where you are
CHORUS
[RETURN TO TOP]
Treasure Chest
VERSE 1:
If I told you who I be
Would you believe me-
would hear me
Or would you read the life I live
So many times we walk around
Living the epitome
Of others lies combined with
Their toxic energy
We buy wholesale into the imagery
Of society
And then we wonder how
We lost our own identity
CHORUS:
Where your treasure lies
That's where your gonna' find your heart
If the truth's nowhere in sight
Then get to steppin'
Right I said steppin'
And orchestrate a brand new start
VERSE 2:
Always one step ahead of the rest
He's young and restless
Got his momma stressin'
And he keeps her on her knees
An honest man he's not
But he's got a lot
So when the bullet hit his chest
It was like an answered prayer
Cause momma knew that he couldn't take it with him
May his soul now rest in peace

Re-Membering Me
VERSE 1:
I think I’ll sleep in late 2 day
Take time out 4 myself
Be nice 2 me
Or take a walk in Griffith Park
Herbal bath after dark
Think on God things
Maybe I’ll plant a tree in the yard
And name her after me
A symbol of my growth
Reaching 4 the sky
Bearing fruit 4 every passer by
She’s releasing it and letting go
CHORUS:
remember to take a bubble bath
Walk in the park or on the beach
re-membering
remember that it’s ok to steal away
For sanity sometimes
re-membering
And what about all the parts of you your power 2
That you gave away but it’s ok
re-membering
Remember that it’s alright to cry sometimes
You’re gonna’ heal
I AM re-membering me
VERSE 2
May I remember that I’m more
Than I sometimes give myself credit for
Be still & know
As I gather all those parts of me I lost along the way
Gotta’ say I’m so grateful
I’ve come so very far the proof is in my scars
Ain’t no shame in where I been
‘Cause I’m still here
To talk about it feels so good
It’s sometimes misunderstood
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I’m putting life together again
CHORUS
VAMP
Love can put it back together again
Love can put it back together again

Mirror
VERSE 1:
She finds herself afraid
And yet not knowing why
Tossing and turning each and every night
Yet sensing that it’s out of her control
Doubting yet believing
That it’s gonna be
Alright if only she could let it be
Just let it be – let it be- oh
CHANNEL:
She’s afraid of the unknown
What she can’t see or understand
But if she even knew
Or if she had a clue
That she’s guided by the angels’ hands
She’d never doubt the circumstance
Or seek validity from man
She’d be free
But then she turned around
And I saw that she was me
CHORUS:
Who’s that girl lookin’ at me in the mirror?
I think she’s tryin’ to tell me somethin’
So maybe I should hear her
She’s got a story to tell
She’s got a lot to say and even more to give
“Come back to me,” she said
Come back to her again
VERSE 2:
He thinks that his success
Is in the things he owns
Tryin’ to keep up with the Smith and Jones’
Sensing that he’s in over his head
Driven by a warped sense of prosperity
Forgot about the peace that comes with living simply
He believes
That he should always play the part
No matter that it’s sure to break his heart
And what about the lying imagery
At the core of all that he thinks he sees
But if he took the time to learn
A deeper love he doesn’t have to earn
He would grow
And this I know because
Yes! He was me
CHORUS
VAMP
What you are seeking is worth finding
But you gotta say yes and then be willing
Trail blaze the path for you
It’s calling you to change
You know that you can do this
But will you answer to it?
And the mirror keeps askin’
CHORUS
[RETURN

Home
VERSE 1:
I took a trip one day
Only to find
That I was miles and miles away
From the me I left behind
Tried to walk on water
But I found it was sinking sand
So I chose to take some time out
And make a visit to my past
I’m goin’ home
CHORUS
Home to find you
That's where I'll find me
'Cause all that I AM
Yes all that I am
Is in You
In you...
VERSE 2:
A girl with big high hopes and many dreams
Traded in the urban life
For bright lights and shiny things
But it all turned out to be
Mirrors and stained glass
So now she wants authenticity
And man she wants it fast
She's goin' home
CHORUS (REPEAT 2XS)
SPOKEN WORD
I dreamed and visualized thru the mind of the third eye
Co-created the seeming success that was the goal of my life
Only to get there and do that
And still feel a sense of personal compromise
Had all the stuff & all the trinkets
At least I did in my mind
But there was more to be had
An inner work to be done
No! Not more stuff or more trinkets
But a quest for an inner kingdom
Had I not honored myself
Even in the midst of holy walls?
Ignoring my soul’s path
Despite hearing the call
I knew that there had to be more to knowing
More to seeking truth than the tradition of old
So I had to look within and hear thru the quiet of my soul
And it seemed like It spoke so loud but yet so lovingly
Guiding me thru all the lessons of my soul’s journey
I saw the girl form years before
She was an earnest truth seeker
And then in a flash the present
As it rushed in to great her
It then it showed me the woman she had now become
Left at the heart of selfish motivation and ambition
She
I mean I
Had to get down to core and settle the score
Between my now and yesterday
But "what about the bottom line", I said
I think it’s time to get out my head and go
To the seat of my soul and that’s Home
'Cause All that I Am Yes! All that I AM is in You.
CHORUS
[RETURN TO TOP]
And I'll Pray
VERSE 1:
Little girls being women
Way before their time
And little boys doing things they shouldn’t
Where’s the bottom line?
And what about the little baby’s momma
She don’t think she make it by herself
And what about her face all black and blue
Handled by the man she loves
REFRAIN:
What’s goin’ on with ya baby girl
Don’t you realize you’re a precious pearl
And what’s the deal with ya Mr. Man
You gotta’ love more than with your hands
Her wounds are much deeper than the scars
And your anger and hurt goes down so far
But it doesn’t always have to be this way
Look within find the strength
CHORUS:
And I’ll pray …for the sun
And I’ll pray…after every rain
And I’ll pray…for a miracle
And I’ll pray…each and everyday
And I’ll pray…for the hungry child
And I’ll pray…for the angry man
And I’ll pray… for a peaceful world
As it continues to spin
VERSE 2:
Said he’d only be gone
For a couple of months or so
Then came the news
From uncle sam
That he was comin’ home
In a box all wrapped in red, white and blue
The patriotic thing to do
To young to buy a drink but old enough to die
In the name of peace
REFRAIN:
What’s goin’ on with humanity
How can we awaken from our sleep
And why do we self inflict the pain
There’s gotta be a better way
Collective should be our consciousness
Instead of being us or them
Anchoring us in brighter days

Preacher Teacher
VERSE 1:
Preacher teacher
What is wrong with you
I said ya’ keepin secrets
As if nobody knew
Plaguing your soul
Yet actin’ in control
But he knows your human
So come back to the fold
Now im not gonna put you down for your discretions
And im not one to try & teach you no lessons
But time will shine the light exposing your dark story
Im praying for you
But in the meantime
Take inventory
CHORUS:
Dear preacher teacher
I’m writing you this letter
It’s about a friend of mine
Could you pray that things get better
I wonder if you really even knew
That this is just a prayer request for you
No the world won’t understand
‘cause everybody says he’s a preacher man
VERSE 2:
Sister sister
You’ve been on my mind
I know you feel betrayed
You forgave him the last time
So i took it upon myself to write a letter
To the senior pastor
And until we talk next time
I pray that you feel better
Im not one to judge you for your insecurities
Im not one to go & gossip bout the things i see
But rest assured i understand because i been there too
& if you need me call … in the meantime im prayin' for you
[RETURN TO TOP]
Namaskar
VERSE 1:
I behold you and all you are
Yet a man encasing that is so much more
The Oneness that is you identifies with me
My intentions become clear and ever sure
So I recognize the Love and I recognize the Peace
And I marvel at the Truth as I re-member all of me
No longer separate from myself
I place the lies upon the shelf
And I know that we are and I truly am
CHORUS:
Namaskar and the Presence
Namaskar and the Love
Namaskar the Light that gives birth
To the dawning of the day
Namaskar and the Peace
That goes beyond what you understand
Namaskar, Namaskar, Namaste’ (2x’s)
VERSE 2:
I recognize you and where you’ve been
Some say an enemy you are
But I say closest friend
They tried to take your pride
And make you compromise
But you chose to keep movin’
And pushed fear aside
So I choose to honor you
And I commend you for your truth
How I’m amazed at all the grace and ease
In which you do the things you do
Can’t even put it into words
There ain’t a language or a tongue
That resonates the truth
That indeed we are One
CHORUS
REFRAIN
Something about you
Truly inspires me
It calls me to come forth
And embrace divinity
Cause there’s only one of us here
A collective consciousness
And for that I am grateful
And without a doubt
I’m forever in your debt

Within
VERSE 1:
Why do I feel so tied
To the circumstances of my life
Looking to the outside world
But forgetting that within
Is where I invited you as me to live
So I quiet my mind and still my heart
To hear what you have to say
When I'm available to you
I know you will lead the way
CHORUS:
I know a place where the spirit of God lives
I know a place where true love as me abides
I know a place where the kingdom is
And that place, yes that place
Is within
VERSE 2:
So many years I tried to do it for myself
Until one day I finally called out for your help
And like the flicker of light in
A candle's flame
All anxieties began to away
Now I bow my head and close my eyes
And go where it all began
That sacred place compels me as I
Slowly enter in
CHORUS
No matter how I feel when I'm walking thru this journey
I know that you'll always be there for me
When it's looking like it's fear … I choose to call it love
I'm protected by angels … All around and always was
I know that there's no need for me to ever doubt
When I go within then I can go without
You've been my shelter… In the pouring rain
And I know that I know… You'll be there again
And again
CHORUS
I Choose You
Written by Fatima Lowe & Teddy Bello
VERSE 1:
So many times I've made the choice
To ignore your still small voice
Although its you who gives my life all of its clarity
And many times with no concern
It's the hard way I must learn
Although it's you who gives my life all of its certainty
CHORUS:
But now I choose you today
To go ahead and lead the way
To speak into my sprit man
And tell me what to do
I choose you right now
Speak with the fullness of your power
I choose you
Lord I choose you
VERSE 2:
And many times I've kept discreet
My rendezvous with the enemy
Yet knowing all the while it's you
Who lives so deep within
And many times with no surprise
I'd look into my very own eyes
And see the you in me who's compromised
By my courtship with sin
CHORUS:
So Lord I choose you today
To go ahead and lead the way
To speak into my sprit man
And tell me what to do
I choose you right now
Speak with the fullness of your power
I choose you
Lord I choose you
CHOIR:
I choose you Lord!
I choose you Lord!
I choose you Lord!
