From ONE truth comes many stories. These stories are what lead us ultimately back to the ONE. For me lessons learned through the stories of longing, prayer, community, celebration, death, spirituality, love, mother energy and unity. Each mantra on this CD has held me through my falling and my forgetting, until I remembered again: Every part of this seemingly unrelated journey is consciously moving us towards Wholeness and to the universal mantra WE ARE ONE!
lyrics
If I give my heart to you
Will you always be there
For I'm frightened of the things I don't know
And if I share my light with you
Will you promise to be true
For I'm longing to know all of you
We are one in this world
We are one, we are one
And we are one in this life, we are
We are one
And at the sun's rise we are one
In a child's eyes we are one
In the emptiness of darkness we are one
We are one in this world
We are one, we are one
And when it's all said and done, we are
We are one
Om shanti Om, shanti, shanti
Om shanti Om, shanti, shanti
