Song Lyrics
Breathing in, breathing out
Breathing in, breathing out; breathing in, breathing out;
I am blooming as a flower; I am fresh as the dew.
I am solid as a mountain, I am firm as the earth; I am free.
Breathing in, breathing out; breathing in, breathing out;
I am water, reflecting what is real, what is true,
and I feel there is space deep inside of me;
I am free, I am free, I am free.
Dear Friends
Dear friends, dear friends,
Let me tell you how I feel.
You have given me such treasure,
I love you so.
Happiness Is Here and Now
Happiness is here and now, I have dropped my worries.
Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no longer in a hurry.
Happiness is here and now, I have dropped my worries
Somewhere to go, something to do, but I don’t need to hurry.
I Have Arrived
I have arrived, I am home,
in the here and in the now.
I have arrived, I am home,
In the here and in the now.
I am solid, I am free,
I am solid, I am free,
in the ultimate I dwell,
in the ultimate I dwell.
I Like the Roses
I like the roses. I like the daffodils.
I like the mountains. I like the rolling hills.
I like the twinkling stars when the sun goes down.
Du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee
du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee, du-bee-dee… dum
