Human Connection

By Hymnj

Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection 
We were made to feel everything
 
Open up your heart 
Now is the time to come apart
There is no need to be so strong anymore
In this space you’re safe you’re held
Now is the time to break that spell
Open the door you closed long before
 
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
 
Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection 
We were made to feel everything
 
There are losses, there are gains, 
There is grief and joy and pain
And sometimes it might seem unbearable
But when you can release your mind 
Find the pathway deep inside
You’ll get what you need
You will be received
 
Dont trade anything for human connection
We were made to feel everything
Dont trade anything for human Connection 
We were made to feel everything
 
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go
Feeling is your Healing
Let is rise, let it flow, then let it go

Mother Mary By Hymnj

She looked away from me
Tears welled in her eyes
Caught inside an ancient sadness
Darkening her mind
Oh what’s going on? 
Whats really going on?
 
Expectations, disappointments, 
Did the world go wrong?
Or is it how we treat each other 
When we don’t get what we want
Oh what’s going on? 
Whats really going on?
 
She said it feels like God has abandoned me
She said it feels like I’ve been left all alone in this world
She said it feels like love has abandoned me
She said it feels like I’ve been left all alone in this world
 
Mother Mary, Angel of Mercy, why do you criticise
This is the world, you came to heal
So why do you deny,
Oh what’s going on? 
Whats really going on?
 
You’ve got to
You’ve got to find a way to bring love back today
You’ve got to find a way to heal the wounds that pain
For what’s going on
Whats really going on.
 
We’ve got to
We’ve got to find a way to bring love back today
We’ve got to find a way to heal the wounds that pain
For what’s going on
Whats really going on.
 
And while it may feel like you’ve been abandoned
You are always loved and you’ll never be alone 
In this world
In this world
In this world
 
SERENITY PRAYER
By Hymnj
 
Great Spirit grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change. 
Great Spirit grant me the courage 
To change the things I can
Great Spirit grant me the wisdom 
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
 
When do I fight, when do I stand tall?
When do I yield, when do I fall?
What is the recipe for the sacred reciprocity
Between the Universe and I?
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
 
I release control and surrender to the flow
I release control and surrender to the flow
Of love that surrounds me
Of love that will heal me
Of love that will guide me
Of love that’s within me
 
Oh Lord grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change. 
Oh Lord grant me the courage 
To change the things I can
Oh Lord grant me the wisdom 
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
 
Ayahuasca grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change. 
Ayahuasca grant me the courage 
To change the things I can
Ayahuasca grant me the wisdom 
To know what the distinction is
The differences between these things
Help me to understand how surrender guides me through everything
Darkest Cave
By Hymnj
 
Time is up
There’s no excuses
This game is running thin
You’ve played your cards
There’s no one left to blame
 
This won’t stop till you wise up
And say enoughs enough
Don’t be thinking you can’t loose it all
 
And I’ve been there before
I know what lies beyond that waiting door
And I’ve felt that pain
The kind you never want to feel again
 
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
 
Taking chances, wrong romances
To fill that empty space
Cause your heart was broken a long time ago
The past is done but it’t not over until you turn the page
Your’e the only one that you need to save
 
And I’ve been there before
I know what lies beyond that waiting door
And I’ve felt that pain
The kind you never want to feel again
 
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
 
You’ve got to reach deep to reach out
You’ve got to purify the corners of your mind
You’ve got to call upon the power of the divine and guiding mother
And then you’ll find your way through to the other side
 
Have you ever been down before?
Knocked down to the ground before?
Getting up ain’t easy but you must try
Have you ever cried out before?
Loud into the night before?
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Do what it takes to walk your darkest cave
Your’e the only one that you need to save
 
Time is up
There’s no excuses
This game is running thin
You’ve played your cards
There’s no one left to blame
 
A Storm is Coming
By Hymnj
 
A storm is coming 
Can you feel it
As the crow flies west
In the darkening skies
Our shadows rising
The tower is burning 
And the world as we know it
Is coming to end
 
Where will you stand
When tongues are forked and words divide
This is our darkest hour
Our nightmares have come to fool our minds
 
I walk my own path
I know I am guided, guided by love
I stand for a New Earth
This is our rebirth 
Our stories must fall
 
Do you stand on the left side?
Do you fight for the right?
Are you for or against?
Or were you nailed to the fence?
You get caught up in the issues?
Led by the nose?
Do you wear your opinions
Like the emperors robes? 
 
Where will you stand
When tongues are forked and words divide
This is our greatest test
When our nightmares have come to fool our minds
 
I walk my own path
I know I am guided, guided by love
I stand for a New Earth
This is our rebirth 
Our stories must fall
 
Theres only one thing real
This earth we feel 
She’s alive
She’s in the air we breath
The mountains, seas and skies 
 
I walk my own path
I know I am guided, guided by love
I stand for a New Earth
This is our rebirth 
Our stories must fall
ODE TO YOUR BODY
By Hymnj
 
This is the greatest love song
For someone whose dear and always so near
Unseen, unappreciated
The lover who held you before you were born
Take just a moment, look in the mirror
Tell me what do you see
Sacred and royal
Patient and loyal
The longest relationship you’ll ever have
 
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Soothe and caress it, nourish, protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish, protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
 
Feel body, heal body, channel divine
Walk body, run body, this is your time
Speak through the spine, through the limbs and the mind
Up through the head, let your heart be your guide
Sweat body, spin body, spiral in space
Leap body, dance body this is your place
Hang in the heavens and roll on the ground
Give birth to existence and bring forth you sound
Haiyee! 
 
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Nobody loves you, like your body loves you
Nobody has you like your body does
Sooth and caress it, nourish protect it
Be kind with your words
Because all is being heard.
Set My Spirit Free
By Hymnj
 
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya (From ignorance, lead me to truth)
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya ( From darkness, lead me to light) 
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya ( From death, lead me to immortality)
 
From the maze of my mind 
Help me break free to the open spaces of my heart
I’ve been lost in a thousand stories
And they’ve been tearing me apart
 
All the lies I’ve been told, chasing fools gold
My need to please, combat the enemies
Well I am on my knees praying won’t you set my spirit free
 
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya 
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya 
 
Great Guide I call on you 
Please open up my eyes
Lead me through confusion 
Help me see through the disguises of my mind
Help me perceive from unreal to real
Tear this prison down
 
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya 
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya 
 
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Wont you set my spirit free
 
From the East to the West
Where I walk its my quest 
To awaken hearts and minds
To release misunderstandings 
About the Universe and God
One day when I die there’ll me no cause to cry
I’ll be way up there where the eagles fly
I’ll be singing my songs through the sacred fires 
And all will come to peace
 
OM
Asato ma sadgamaya
Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya 
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya 
SING YOUR WAY THROUGH
By Hymnj
 
There comes a point in your life 
when all the chips are down
Where there’s no turning around
Sometimes the hardest thing to do
Is the one you need to choose
Where there’s no way out but through
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when it get too hard
And you’re at the doorway
Surrender to your soul, let your body take control 
 
And Sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound 
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though 
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain
 
You’ve got the world to gain
You’ve got the world to gain
You’ve got yourself to gain
You’ve got yourself to gain
 
Everything in your life has prepared you for this moment
Did you listen to the omens
So call upon your higher power
Guides and angels will surround you
Mother Earth she will ground you
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when you get to the eye of the needle
Surrender to your soul 
And let your body take control 
 
And sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound 
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though 
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain
 
We must all walk our hero’s journey
The dark night of the soul
On our path to being whole
This is your initiation
The time to shed your skin
So your new life can begin
 
And it will feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew
But this isn’t true
And when you get to the ring of fire
Surrender to your soul 
And let your body take control 
 
Sing your way through
You can do it
Find the courage in your sound 
To lift your body from the ground
Sing your way though 
You can do it
A song to guide you through the pain
And know you’ve got the world to gain
New Tribe, Old Eyes
By Hymnj
 
From the water in the sky
To the bones on the ground
Broken bodies all around
Our mother without her crown
This is a land plagued by a restlessness 
Divided by greed and doubt
So Spirit it is a calling us
Calling us to rise
Like a phoenix from the fire 
Rise
Rise 
Rise
 
From the forest to the oceans
Can you feel, can you hear the cries
While the thieves they are pillaging 
Spreading fear and lies
Nowhere else to go, it’s our only home
Open your eyes
Thats why Spirit is is calling us 
Calling us to rise
Like a phoenix from the fire 
Rise
Rise 
Rise
 
This is a calling to remember
A time we first walked the earth
When we danced beneath the naked sky
And dreamed with the trees and the birds
 
This is a calling to remember 
Our true nature within
That breathes and moves will all livings things
The tide, the moon and the wind.
 
This is a calling to remember 
How we were meant to be
Flowing in harmony with our great Mother
Under the sacred tree
 
I can feel this coming
A new generation rising 
A new tribe with old eyes
We are rising
 
I can feel this coming
A new generation rising 
A new tribe with old eyes
We are rising
 
A new tribe with old eyes 
We are rising

Three hundred and sixty-five whirling Dervishes circling around and around and around the Sun

Can you feel it? The magic’s in the air tonight

It’s a new vibration, a solar celebration time. We’re moving side to side, the love begins to rise. We raise our hands to the sky, and everyone sings

We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one. We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one.

Are you ready? The time has arrived for us. To remember our true names, the soul that breathes inside of us. We’re ancients born of dust, divine in every one of us. Just grooving our way through the stars And that’s why we sing

We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one. We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one.

So we say ‘happy birthday’ to honour the day we were born to a journey of sunrise and sunsets to the One. We’re just dancing round the sun

Don’t you get it? The planets they’re guiding us as we learn to be human and surrender what’s dividing us. We’re holding hands around this fire, Connecting to our heart’s desire to feel Spirit deep in our bones, cause everyone knows

We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one. We’re just dancing round the sun, we’re circling as one.

My fears have many whispers, They talk to me at night, Like the leaves behind the window, Scratching at the glass, My dreams have many twists and turns, A maze of worries and concerns, And I carry them into my everyday

Mistress Anxiety, Have you come to dance with me?, You take my hand and pull me under, Now I am swirling in your waters, Mistress Anxiety, Wont you rather come sit with me?, And tell me all about your troubles, Your concerns about tomorrow

Oh I hear you, But don’t worry, you wait and see, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, just let it be, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, you just need to breath

Her shadow it draws closer, Her cold hand grips my heart, Hear voices they torment me, Of all thats going wrong, Its a calamity, insanity, I feel out of control, This panic is upon me, it’s the dark night of my soul.

Mistress Anxiety, Have you come to dance with me?, You take my hand and pull me under, Now I am swirling in your waters, Mistress Anxiety, Wont you rather come sit with me?, And tell me all about your troubles, Your concerns about tomorrow

Oh I hear you, But don’t worry, you wait and see, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, just let it be, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, you just need to breath

Once more she circles around me, And offers me her hand, The dance floor it awaits you, And now I understand, It’s an addiction, an affliction, So hard to let this go, What a bitter pill to swallow, That suffering is my thrill

Mistress Anxiety, Have you come to dance with me?, You take my hand and pull me under, Now I am swirling in your waters, Mistress Anxiety, Wont you rather come sit with me?, And tell me all about your troubles, Your concerns about tomorrow

Oh I hear you, But don’t worry, you wait and see, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, just let it be, It’s going to be all right, It’s going to be all right, Don’t worry, you just need to breath

TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
By Hmynj
 
The book is yet unwritten
Our story is still being told
A tale about how lives and how this will unfold
The ink is made of feelings 
The pages are our hearts
The words are our emotions expressed as love
And as the many days they come and pass away 
The question that we ask is: what is here to stay?
And one day when we are on our final resting place
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
 
Its not about how far you strayed, only that you found your way back home again
It does not matter how hard your heart became, only that you walked the road and you forgave
These are the only moments that will remain, when you can find compassion through all the pain
And rediscover who it is you really are
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
 
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are, 
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
 
Its not about the wealth you made
The glory, reputation, nor the fame
It does not matter how much knowledge you’ve gained
Or the righteous path that you deemed to claim
There is only one true victory 
The transformation of your own humanity
When you rediscover who it is you truly are
These are the only moments that your soul remembers
 
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are, 
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
 
Its not about your story of wounding and pain
Or keeping score of who was wrong and whose to blame
It does not matter how dark your world became 
Only that you healed and found your light again
There is no journey that ever goes wrong
Nothing that you cannot come back from
One day you will realise you are the one
Who is always welcome home like the prodigal son
 
And to love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
To love and be loved, that’s the only game our souls came to play
Its all in the giving and receiving that we find the gift of life’s true meaning
And rediscover who it is we really are, 
These are the only moments that our soul remembers
 
The book is yet unwritten
Our story is still being told
A tale about how lives and how this will unfold
The ink is made of feelings 
The pages are our hearts
The words are our emotions expressed as love
And as the many days they come and pass away 
The question that we ask is: what is here to stay?
And one day when we are on our final resting place
These are the only moments that God remembers.
Grinded bones, sticks and stones
It’s time to bring lost children home
Grinded bones stick and stones
It’s time to bring them home!
 
Shake the bushes stomp the ground
Climb the trees and look around
They’re hiding there everywhere
Time to call them home!
GAIA SONG 
by Hymnj
 
Heya Gaia, 
Heya Pachamama
 
A medicine woman, a medicine man
Joined hearts to compose
this song for the land
They were called by the ancients
the ancestors plan
To birth a new spirit 
And start a new clan
 
(Chorus)
So remember your courage
Remember your song
The name you were given
And where you come from
You’re a child of the Earth
With the blessings of the moon
May you run wild with the wind in your hair
And bring our world together in prayer
 
Heya Gaia
Heya Pacha mama
 
Earth mother she bleeds
Earth mother she needs
She needs our protect
Calls us to lead
A new generation of warriors
Fearless and bold, to carry her  medicines
Out into the world
 
Chorus
 
Heya Gaia, 
Heya Pachamama
 
You were born in the cradle
Between mountain and sea
Where the sweet mystic waters
Flows down in streams
This water is sacred
She runs in your veins 
Call on her spirit to ease all your pains
 
Chorus
 
Honour your mother
She carried you from seed
Through blood, milk and fire 
So you could be free
The love of your mother 
Is the love of the land
Cherish this birthright 
It is now in your hands
 
Chorus 
 
Hedgehog in the woods
Two crows in the tree
Butterflies, bees 
They will guide you in dreams
All of the wisdom you’ll ever need
You will find in wild nature
And in songs such as these
 
Chorus
 
Rest now beloved
You will always be safe
Guided, protected in our circle’s embrace
Never fear darkness,
Never fear pain
These always pass
Only Love will remain
 
So remember your courage
Remember your song
The name you were given
And where you come from
You’re a child of the Earth
With the blessings of the moon
May you run wild with the wind in your hair
And bring our world together in prayer
 
Heya Gaia
You & Me
By Hymnj
 
My heart is over flowing
Tears of joy at knowing
That I finally found the kind of love
That I searched for so long
Just to feel the magic of how we can be
When we stand together
Brave the stormy weather
 
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
Aheya heya heya 
Heya heya heya
Heyawana Hey I wanna hold you
 
We started out as stranger
We quickly turned the pages
Now we’re standing at the open door
And I know our souls have met before
You’re the one that I adore
The place my hearts been looking for
To give all of my emotions 
A song of my devotion, yeah
 
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
Aheya heya heya 
Heya heya heya
Heyawana Hey I wanna hold you
 
So hold my hand don’t let me go
This is where I want to grow old
Standing with you side by side
You’re my family
You’re my tribe
Walking gently on the earth 
Blessing the ground from which we birthed 
Making the world a better place
Hold her in a sweet embrace
 
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
You and me
We were meant to be
Holding hands and circling 
Building our family tree
Aheya heya heya 
Heya heya heya
Heyawana Hey I wanna hold you
