To make a story once again, With a me I must defend. This self creation keeps me safe. This is just how I know my place. Even if there is the pain, At least I know just who I am. Sometimes I feel the flow Of something I can't know. It takes a simple thing. A miracle it brings; A unity, But then it fades, you see. In this world I can see, This clever mind deceiving me. With each story I renew, I push away from life and you. The more I try, the less I see. A way to change this mind made me. If I could stop, then I would not, And something else might come to be. Sometimes I feel the flow Of something I can't know. It takes a simple thing. A miracle it brings; A unity, But then it fades, you see. ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison WHO'S WATCHING Am I here? In this moment All alone? Wishing to disown What I've become There are so many voices. They all imprison me. And I can't seem to see Who’s watching? If you think you know The mind and its desires. Think again and know The consciousness required Even though my love seems true There's claiming and possession too True love can never find me Who’s watching? If you wish to live A life of sinless virtue There is no one here Who can begin to teach you Virtue makes abundance flow Then desire begins to grow Then peace can never reach you Who’s watching? ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison SARVE PRAYER Sarve bhavantu sukhinah Sarve santu niramayah Sarve bhandrani pasyantu ma kascid duhkhabhagbhavet (Translation) All be Happy All be free All be free of disease All creatures have well being All creatures have no misery ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison SHADOW (Instrumental) ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison I BELIEVE I Believe for every drop of rain that falls, A flower grows; As life must flow. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, A candle glows; And we all know. I believe for everyone who goes astray, Someone will come To show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer Will still be heard; By us all I believe that someone in the great somewhere, Hears every word; We all can hear Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, Or touch a leaf, Or see the sky The I know why; We need to flow With life we know We know... ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison I AM I Am...
