1. THE WISDOM OF THE GODDESS

V1
SHE GIVES HER PASSION THROUGHOUT THE LAND
ON A HEALING JOURNEY THROUGH WIND AND SAND
GOING FAR AND WIDE WITH YOU
FLYING ON HER MAGIC AND MYSTERY

CHO
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
THE WISDOM OF THE GODDESS
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
LISTEN TO THE MOTHER WHO BROUGHT US

V2
SHE HAS A STORY TO TELL US ALL
TO FREE OUR SOULS FROM THE FALL
RESPECT THE POWER SHE GIVES TO YOU
MOTHER EARTH SHE FEEDS US ALL

CHO
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
THE WISDOM OF THE GODDESS
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
LISTEN TO THE MOTHER WHO BROUGHT US

BR
SHE WILL TRANSFORM THE DEBT WE MADE
THE COST MAY BE TOO GREAT
BUT SHE ALLOWS THIS MOTHER OF GRACE
TO LEARN WHAT IS AT STAKE
SHE'S ALL WE HAVE, SHE'S ALL WE'VE GOT
THE KEEPER OF THE FLAME
SHE BURNS A HEAT, HER FIRE RUNS DEEP
TO CLEAR AWAY THE PAIN

V3
SHE IS OUR MOTHER THIS BLESSED ONE
SHE FEELS AND KNOWS WHAT WE HAVE DONE
SO LET US SURRENDER TO HER CALL
MOTHER EARTH SHE BIRTHED US ALL

CHO
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
THE WISDOM OF THE GODDESS
LET IT BE KNOWN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
LISTEN TO THE MOTHER WHO BROUGHT US

2. BEGINNING WITH ME

V1
I AM THE WISDOM FIRE BURNING BRIGHT
A KEEPER OF THE MYSTERY
I GIVE MY WARMTH AND GIVE MY LIGHT
I AM A VESSEL FILLED WITH DREAMS

CHO
A DREAM THAT'S REAL
A DREAM THAT CARES
A DREAM THAT LOVES
WHEN NO ONE'S THERE
A DREAM OF PEACE FOR ALL HUMANITY
BEGINNING WITH ME

V2
I HAVE A VISION THAT IS OH SO REAL
A PLACE IN TIME WITHOUT FEAR
I SENSE A FREEDOM I CAN TASTE AND FEEL
WAR AND HATRED DISAPPEAR

CHO
A DREAM THAT'S REAL
A DREAM THAT CARES
A DREAM THAT LOVES
WHEN NO ONE'S THERE
A DREAM OF PEACE FOR ALL HUMANITY
BEGINNING WITH ME

BR
THE WORLD IS WAITING, HOLDIN' ON
SEARCHING FOR THIS DREAM
IT HAS SUFFERED FAR TOO LONG
ONE BY ONE WE'LL FIND A WORLD THAT'S FREE

CHO
A DREAM THAT'S REAL
A DREAM THAT CARES
A DREAM THAT LOVES
WHEN NO ONE'S THERE
A DREAM OF PEACE FOR ALL HUMANITY
BEGINNING WITH ME

3. I'M HERE TO LOVE

V1
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
WHO I AM AND WHERE I WOULD GO
FOR ALL MY SEARCHING I FINALLY FIGURED OUT
THE TRUTH IS REMEMBERING WHAT I ALREADY KNOW

CHO
I'M HERE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
I'M HERE TO HEAL AND BE HEALED
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
I'M NOT HERE TO JUDGE I'M HERE TO LOVE

V2
WHO CAN SAY WHAT'S RIGHT OR WRONG FOR SOMEONE ELSE
I CAN'T SAY WHAT THEY SHOULD CHOOSE
ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I LOOK WITHIN MYSELF
I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN WHAT I'M HERE TO DO

CHO
I'M HERE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
I'M HERE TO HEAL AND BE HEALED
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
I'M NOT HERE TO JUDGE I'M HERE TO LOVE

BR
JUST LOOK INSIDE YOUR SOUL AND YOU WILL SEE
WHAT'S WORTH LIVING FOR
AND WHAT'S WORTH DYING FOR

CHO
I'M HERE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED
I'M HERE TO HEAL AND BE HEALED
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU
AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR ME
I'M NOT HERE TO JUDGE I'M HERE TO LOVE

4. DADDY (I LOVE THE YOU IN ME)

V1
YOU WERE AN ANGRY MAN
I COULDN'T SEE YOUR PAIN
I WAS AFRAID OF YOU
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TO BLAME
DON'T HIDE IT ANY LONGER
THE CHILD WITHIN ME CRIES
TO HEAL THE PAIN INSIDE YOUR HEART
OF ALL THE HURTFUL LIES

YOU BOUGHT IT AND YOU FOUGHT IT
I KNOW THAT PLACE
YOU THOUGHT YOU COVERED IT UP
JUST TO SAVE FACE

CHO
DADDY OH DADDY LET ME LOVE YOU
DADDY I KNOW YOU LOVE ME TOO
WE MAKE MISTAKES
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
WE CHOOSE OUR DESTINY
OH DADDY I LOVE THE YOU IN ME

V2
I COULDN'T BRING YOU JOY
AS MUCH AS I WOULD TRY
YOU DIDN'T LIVE YOUR DREAM
THE CHILD WITHIN YOU CRIES
DON'T HIDE ANY LONGER
YOUR HEART CANNOT DENY
’CAUSE WHEN YOU LET THE MUSIC PLAY
YOUR SOUL BEGINS TO FLY

YOU TAUGHT IT AND YOU FOUGHT IT
I KNOW THAT PLACE
YOU THOUGHT YOU COVERED IT UP
JUST TO SAVE FACE

CHO
DADDY OH DADDY LET ME LOVE YOU
DADDY I KNOW YOU LOVE ME TOO
WE MAKE MISTAKES
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
WE CHOOSE OUR DESTINY
OH DADDY I LOVE THE YOU IN ME

5. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

V1
THERE'S A JOY IN GIVING TO ANOTHER
EXPECTING NOTHING IN RETURN
AND IF IT SEEMS THAT KINDNESS GOES UNANSWERED
THERE IS ONE THING THAT I'VE LEARNED

CHO
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
AND GOES AROUND AGAIN
IT'S A CYCLE IN LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
WE REAP WHAT WE SOW IN THE WAY THAT WE LIVE
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
AND GOES AROUND AGAIN

V2
WE ALL HAVE A VISION TO UNCOVER
IT'S WHAT KEEPS US MOV'IN ON
TAKING TIME FOR LOVE TO BE DISCOVERED
IS THE JOY THAT KEEPS US STRONG

CHO
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
AND GOES AROUND AGAIN
IT'S A CYCLE IN LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
WE REAP WHAT WE SOW IN THE WAY THAT WE LIVE
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND
AND GOES AROUND AGAIN

6. THE INNOCENCE OF LOVE

V1
AS I WALKED OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING LIGHT
I SAW THE MOON CLEARLY IN SIGHT
AND INSTANTLY, I FELT YOU
YOUR EYES, YOUR SMILE AND YOUR GENTLE TOUCH
EXCITED MY FLESH THROUGH TO MY SOUL
I'M MISSING YOU AND THE LOVE WE SHARED
BUT THE LOVE THAT LIVES IN ME WILL ALWAYS BE THERE

CHO
'CAUSE MY SPIRIT CHOOSES TO LIVE IN THE INNOCENCE OF LOVE
TRUSTING EACH MOMENT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE NEXT
OH PROTECTING ME ON THIS JOURNEY I POSSESS
ITS POWER IS PLENTY ENOUGH
TO SHED ALL THAT NO LONGER BELONGS
TRUST IN THE INNOCENCE THE INNOCENCE OF LOVE

V2
THE MOON AND ITS WONDER REMINDED ME
OF OUR FIRST KISS THAT SUMMER'S EVE
AS THE SUNSET BLAZED ACROSS THE SKY
ITS WARMTH AND MAGIC FILLED THE AIR
AS WE LET OUR SENSES TAKE US THERE
AND IT FELT SO FULL AS WE BATHED IN IT
THIS TASTE OF INNOCENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET

BR
NOW WE'VE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PLACE
WHERE LOGIC AND REASON HAVE TAKEN LEAD
BY WHAT IF, SHOULDS AND WOUNDS OF THE PAST
I'M SORRY OH I'M SORRY, THIS IS SO

7. YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO YOU

V1
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD TO GIVE
YOU TRIED TO LOVE ME YOU ALMOST DID
BUT SOMETHING INSIDE YOU
WOULD NEVER LET ME IN
WELL IF YOU'RE AFRAID TO LOVE
WHY TRY AGAIN

CHO
YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO YOU
YOU DECIDE WHO TO GIVE IT TO
I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME
'CAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE
IT'S UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO YOU

V2
BEING EMBRACED BY SOMEONE'S LOVE
IS WHAT I WANTED AND WHAT YOU RUN FROM
AND NOW I WONDER
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
AS YOU TURN AWAY MY LOVE
IT'S ALL TOO CLEAR

CHO
YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO YOU
YOU DECIDE WHO TO GIVE IT TO
I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME
CAUSE THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE
IT'S UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
YOUR LOVE BELONGS TO YOU

8. RELEASE

VI
I LOVE THOSE QUIET TIMES
THOSE TIMES TO REMEMBER
MOMENTS TO REFLECT
THE MOMENTS OF SURRENDER

THE WISDOM IS WITHIN ME
SINGING LIKE A BIRD
IN EVERY CELL IT WHISPERS
WAITING TO BE HEARD

CHO
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR PASSION
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR SOUL
HELP US RELEASE THE SHAME THAT WE HAVE FASHIONED
HELP US RELEASE THE LIES WE'VE BEEN SOLD

V2
THERE IS AN ENDLESS CHAIN
THE CHAIN OF CREATION
WE MUST NOT FORGET
AND CHOOSE TO BE FORGIVEN

THE MEMORY IS WITHIN US
JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS
WITHIN THOSE SILENT WHISPERS
THERE'S WISDOM TO BE HEARD

CHO
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR PASSION
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR SOUL
HELP US RELEASE THE SHAME THAT WE HAVE FASHIONED
HELP US RELEASE THE LIES WE'VE BEEN SOLD

BR
GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION
TO LEGALIZE FREEDOM
TO HEAR THE VOICE BEYOND THE WALL
YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THE CALL

CHO
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR PASSION
HELP US RELEASE THE BONDAGE OF OUR SOUL
HELP US RELEASE THE SHAME THAT WE HAVE FASHIONED
HELP US RELEASE THE LIES WE'VE BEEN SOLD

9. MAGIC

V1
YOUR EVES ARE LIKE FIRE
WARMING MY SOUL
THEY MOVE INSIDE ME
AND CLEAR AWAY THE COLD
AT TIMES I FEEL FRIGHTENED
TO LET DOWN MY WALLS
AND WITH YOU BESIDE ME, OH BABY
I WATCH THEM FALL

CHO
OH THE MAGIC, THE MAGIC
I LOVE IT SO
IT MOVES IN AND FINDS ME
DEEP IN MY SOUL
MELTING, OH MELTING
JUST MELTING AWAY
THE TEARS AND THE SADNESS
HOW I LOVE THE MAGIC

V2
I LOVE HOW YOU HOLD ME
WHEN LIGHT BRINGS THE DAY
PIERCING THE SHADOWS
I WATCH THEM DRIFT AWAY
I KNOW I CAN TRUST
THE WAY I FEEL INSIDE
I SEE FOREVER OH BABY
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES

CHO
OH THE MAGIC, THE MAGIC
I LOVE IT SO
IT MOVES IN AND FINDS ME
DEEP IN MY SOUL
MELTING, OH MELTING
JUST MELTING AWAY
THE TEARS AND THE SADNESS
HOW I LOVE THE MAGIC

BR
WHEN I LET GO
MY HEART IS NOT TROUBLED
NOW I’VE FOUND THE WAY

CHO

10. YOU ARE HERE

V1
ALL THAT I AM
I WILL GIVE TO YOU
THE JOY AND WONDER OF MY DREAMS
THE PASSION IN MY HEART

ALL THAT YOU ARE
IS A GIFT TO ME
THAT YOU OFFER LIKE A CANDLE IN THE DARK
IT ASTOUNDS ME AS I SEE ALL THAT YOU ARE

CHO
YOU ARE MY BODY
AND YOU ARE MY SOUL
I FEEL YOU DEEP INSIDE OF ME
FROM LIFETIMES AGO
YOU ARE A VOICE
THAT INNER VOICE
REACHING OUT TO ME
YOU ARE HERE MY LOVE
YOU ARE HERE
YOU ARE HERE MY LOVE
YOU ARE HERE

V2
AS I LOOK BACK
I WAS ALL ALONE
SEARCHING FOR THE LIFE OF ME
TO FIND WHERE I BELONG

THERE WERE NO WORDS
THAT WOULD COMFORT ME
UNTIL I HEARD THE MUSIC IN ME LOUD AND STRONG
YOU UNLOCKED MY YEARNING HEART
AND FREED MY SONG
