Coming Home

(version 1) | 3/31/1992 | Song #165

From Visions and Voices CD

I’ve been walking through frozen winter fields
I have been stalking this strange new way I feel
I’ve seen shadows rise up and become real
I have see the children who live on what they steal
Look around you, can you tell me what you see
What part of it is illusion, what part of it is real?
Glance beyond me can you tell me where I end?
We are all much farther than we’d ever thought we’d been

Refrain:
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
And I believe I’m coming Home

Take me with you to the higher lands
Touch my sweaty forehead and teach me how to dance
Lay your hands upon me and touch me where it hurts
Raise me up and heal me with your gentle words

Refrain:

You are chosen to live within the light
I was born to tell you that it is yours by birth right!
I am holy if you only you could see…
that you are just as holy, as holy as me…

Refrain:

Garden of Dreams (Live)

After the inspiring worship services at Unity Church in Albany, I sometimes slip into the sanctuary and play the piano after everyone has gone. I’ve written a number of songs here. While I was just noodling around on the piano I could hear the persistent song medley of a mocking bird outside the church windows. [...]

Good Morning (Live)

Good Morning is one of the first songs I wrote last year specifically for Unity Church In Albany. Rev. Jim Fuller had done a series of talks about the interactions of the disciples after Easter.

He talked about the many names of God and the universal principles that all world religions share.

May 3-12, 2010 | Song # 421 I saw a light in the window of a church And I wondered “is that God or is it just the Sun? And you said you once saw a fire in a forest That turned out to be the rising giant of the moon Are we random or [...]
