1.	Phoenix Rise 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Drip drop from the gray clouds Cool wind makes the leaves fall I’m welcoming the death As the reaper loosens its grip I wrote my fears on the temple walls And I watched them fall Up from the ashes the flames of passion grow tall One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise Tick tock each grain drops Time slips from your grasp I’m breaking all the clocks Now I march to the beat of the heart I heard a voice from the desert call You’re born for more Out of the dust storm I found the path toward my joy One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise Click clank ball and chain For wealth and fame we’d be enslaved I’m cutting all my strings To take the leap and step out on faith I felt a truth well up inside my soul I’ve always known Lit like a fire creative power she grows One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise One door closes the other opens wide Up from the ashes see a phoenix rise
2.	California Weather 04:56	lyrics	buy track
California Weather I will follow if you lead Adventure calls when you’re with me We don’t need a map to read Cause’ I could spend twelve hours straight Sitting shotgun as we sing in harmony Our love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I look in your eyes Love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I look in your eyes Winding all along the sea Taken by the scenery We don’t mind the journey California winter breeze All the trees still have their leaves Light blue skies and palm trees Love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I look in your eyes Love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I look into your eyes I get cold when you’re away Lying alone in the Oregon rain Your touch is sun rays on ocean waves I’m gladly lost in the golden daze Our love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I look in your eyes Love is just like California weather We don’t need a jacket we can warm each other Winter never comes when I’m by your side Never see a cloud when I’m looking into your eyes
3.	Own Melody 05:25	lyrics	buy track
What’s that sound that cries out I’ve been trying to find my own melody To be drowned out I know intimately I’ve been trying to find my own melody For I’ve got wounds that cut me deep I’ve been trying to find my own melody There’s a story inside of me I’ve been trying to find my own melody To be heard is to be seen And to be free is to sing Like a bird that’s lost her wings Like a bird waiting for the light that morning brings There’s a song in me that longs to ring There are walls that hold me in I’ve been trying to find my own melody In a cage of insecurity I’ve been trying to find my own melody I’m a bird and I’ve got wings I’ve been trying to find my own melody My soul needs to speak I’ve been trying to find my own melody To be heard is to be seen And to be free is to sing Like a bird that’s lost her wings Like a bird waiting for the light that morning brings There’s a song in me that longs to ring I have been trying to find my own melody I have been trying to find my own melody I have been trying to find my own melody I have been trying to find my own melody I have been trying to find my own melody I have been trying to find my own melody
4.	Into the Blossom 03:55	lyrics	buy track
Out of the bud and into the blossom I heard a voice tell me to soften Pierced by a thorn my callous was broken And I began to let my heart open It’s not a race it’s a stroll I trust the wind will blow me where to go I’ve tried to run but I keep slipping Patience is a virtue I’m missing Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’ve tried to run, but I keep slipping Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Who am I if I let go and slip in My feet are hurt my back is sore Always trying to push a little more Been working so hard to prove my worth Don’t give myself the credit I deserve Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’ve tried to run, but I keep slipping Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh What happens if I let go It’s time for harvest Rest in the garden that you grew from seed You gave tears, sweat and blood And every season came Sun, wind and rain But a garden only knows how to grow upwards To bend and twist at the will of nature’s whim A blossom is the gift surrender gives Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I’ve tried to run, but I keep slipping Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Who am I if I let go and slip in Let go and slip
5.	Lotus in the Mud 04:51	lyrics	buy track
Heaven is a place on earth Where all people know their worth And our children are not broken down By the dreams their parents have not yet lived out I pray to god we find what we’re searching for I pray to god we find we were born for more We are lotus in the mud All of our cracks are there to let in the love Happiness is hard to find To live in balance body heart and mind Our emotions are the seas we sail upon And if we tilt too far we’re sinking to the bottom I pray to god we find what we’re searching for I pray to god we find we were born for more We are lotus in the mud All of our cracks are there to let in the love Love is a truth we know When the warming in your chest blooms like a rose It’s the love we give ourselves that is the love that grows And we can’t give outward till our own cup overflows I pray to god we find what we’re searching for I pray to god we find we were born for more We are lotus in the mud All of our cracks are there to let in the love
6.	Green Love Notes 04:23	lyrics	buy track
I watched a sunray Breaking the gray to pieces Oh how it glistened Week turned to weekend New buds on the trees Haven’t seen a bee in Half a year at least Just what we needed Green love notes from a season I heard a sparrow Greeting the day with a new song Trickling snow thaws Dew on the soft moss Spiders weaving spirals In between the branches Sparkle when they’re sun kissed Just what we needed Green love notes from a season All the earth blooms in turn With the wings from a cocoon And the flowers earn their keep Only after gray has loomed So we wait for the warmth When the earth’s tilt returns For you only know the spring From the cold that winter brings All the earth blooms in turn With the wings from a cocoon And the flowers earn their keep Only after gray has loomed So we wait for the warmth When the earth’s tilt returns For you only know the spring From the cold that winter brings Green love notes from a season
7.	Oregon 04:18	lyrics	buy track
I was raised an Oregon girl Sand in my bed, salt in my curls Taught to love the ocean wind And to confide in the horizon Oregon my home Ain’t no place greener than the hills I know When the clouds come I don’t lose hope I walk out in the rain and I clean my soul Oregon made soaked through the bone I’ll be sitting by the fireside to stay warm Under the stars I spent the night Roar of the water my lullaby And I have wondered at the endless dotted sky Bout’ the marvel of this earth that gives us life Oregon my home Ain’t no place greener than the hills I know When the clouds come I don’t lose hope I walk out in the rain and I clean my soul Oregon made soaked through the bone I’ll be sitting by the fireside to stay warm On forest moss I barefoot walked It’s the thorns and the rocks that taught me to step soft And I have watched new life come up Where the logs and the fallen leaves have laid to rot Oregon my home Ain’t no place greener than the hills I know When the clouds come I don’t lose hope I walk out in the rain and I clean my soul Oregon made soaked through the bone I’ll be sitting by the fireside to stay warm In the creek I dipped my feet There I heard the voice of wisdom softly speak Said I’m just a drop of water like the rest And we’re all flowing toward the ocean of our death Oregon my home Ain’t no place greener than the hills I know When the clouds come I don’t lose hope I walk out in the rain and I clean my soul Oregon made soaked through the bone I’ll be sitting by the fireside to stay warm Sitting by the fireside, sitting by the fireside Sitting by the fireside to stay warm
8.	Gratitude 04:32	lyrics	buy track
I know sometimes you get heavy From the weight of what you have not done yet The goals not yet met I know you’ve been thinking you might Never reach the dreams you’ve always wanted Just keep in mind your gratitude In every single thing you do Counting your blessings in every step Saying your thank yous in every breath Look on the bright side and shine like a star Notice the good things and you will go far Life gives you more of what you give So find the beauty that exists I know you get haunted thinking Shoulda, woulda, coulda done it different Too old to make it I know there’s a voice inside you Trying to tell you lies but don’t you listen Don’t let fear win Just keep in mind your gratitude In every single thing you do Counting your blessings in every step Saying your thank yous in every breath Look on the bright side and shine like a star Notice the good things and you will go far Life gives you more of what you give So find the beauty that exists You fall off that horse time and time again But you won’t ever ride if you don’t try To get back up again Sometimes doubt comes easy It’s hard to keep the faith But all you need’s one sunray to show up And brighten up your day Just keep in mind your gratitude In every single thing you do Counting your blessings in every step Saying your thank yous in every breath Look on the bright side and shine like a star Notice the good things and you will go far Life gives you more of what you give So find the beauty that exists
