Vaya Con Dios
03:57

Seasons rolling by spinning wheels of time
Years that seem to make no sense reason with out rhyme
Folks you leave behind love that rules your mind
days and hours that go so fast may your years be kind
Bridge: take another trip around the sun
build a brand new life with everyone
Chorus: Vaya con Dios con mi amor
Vaya con Dios God bless your journeys around the sun
You might ask for strength you might wish for love
say a prayer for passing friends or higher thoughts above
lust for life and lust for love forever to forgive
may your heart be full of hope wherever you may live
Bridge: take another trip around the sun
build a brand new life with everyone
Chorus: Vaya con Dios con mi amor
Vaya con Dios God bless your journeys around the sun
Seasons rolling by spinning wheels of time
days and hours that go so fast may your years be kind
Bridge: take another trip around the sun
live another year for everyone
Chorus: Vaya con Dios con mi amor
Vaya con Dios God bless your journey around the sun
God bless your journeys around the sun
God bless your journey around the sun

Book of Fate

Book of Fate
it never ceases to amaze me
just how sad this life can be
sometimes it even scares me
just how sad and beautiful life can be
it never ceases to amaze me
all the crazy things we do
terrifying news stories
sad and beautiful
a gypsy on the boardwalk
her cards the book of fate
passed down through a mystery
sad and beautiful

You Are
words and music by Tamra Hayden
Look around you... you may not be what you meant to be
But you are, you are perfect
Look around you... you may not like just what you see,
But, accept it, it is perfect
And you are, you are, you are perfect
Go on, accept it, you are, you are perfect
You've been running 'round the treadmill, head hangin' down
Picking up crumbs when you could've had a meal
Slow it down and look around, though you're not where you thought you'd be
You're here with me and it is perfect
And you are, you are, you are perfect
Go on, accept it, you are, you are perfect
Day in, day out, chaos and take out,
The clock ticks faster while I seem to tick slower
It has an unfair advantage, but still somehow we manage to have it all
And it is perfect. Yeah!
Hey! Life is a puzzle missing pieces
So many now, I can't even find
I may not understand how it all fits together, but it does!
And it's perfect
And you are, you are, you are perfect
Go on, accept it, you are, you are perfect
You are, you are, you are more than enough,
More than your eyes can see! More, so much more!
You are perfect, yes you are what you are
Accept yourself....
(instrumental)
Look around you... you are more than you thought you'd ever be
And you are perfect
Look around you... Look around you
You are, you are, you are perfect
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are, you are perfect
You are perfect, yes you are what you are
Accept yourself....

Life At A Discount
words and music by Tamra Hayden
Strap me to the tread mill, flip the switch to high
Strap me to the tread mill - watch me fly
EvenTrail mix comes in tight packages,
News stories have theme songs
My life, once miraculous,
has taken a mundane turn
So, somebody flip the switch
Somebody flip the switch - turn me on
(My battery has run down)
Is this just a dream or is this the test drive
Or is this game over
I've got all my moving parts
still working and in place
but at a standstill, stalled out at a cross road
Have I lost my turn or am I the floor model waiting to be sold
Life at a discount
My life is at a discount
Used up and run down before my expiration date
Hurry up K Mart shoppers there's a blue light special -
we got a sale going, going, going gone
Life at a discount
instrumental
Strap me to the roof and haul my carcass home
Plug me into the socket and get my batteries going
I'm like a tinsel tree with psychidelic lights that change hues
A soprano that learns her lines and picks up her cues
Strap me to the railings and fly me to the rafters
I believe in big finishes and happy ever afters
(But is this all there is?)
I thought there would be one more Act for this side show freak
My personality may be electric but my outlook, bleak
Those who confine me nickel and dime me
Put me through my paces and send me off to the races
Life at a discount
So, strap me to the treadmill and set that sucker to high,
Strap me to the treadmill and watch me fly
So, strap me to the treadmill
Strap me to the treadmill
watch us try to keep up - me, myself and I

God Is A Dream

GOD IS A DREAM
a tree of life it's traces
dawn brings another call to prayer
prophets through the ages
broken steps like scriptures lost in sand
our lonely planets history
betrays a painful mystery to me
a preacher on a distant radio
creeping through a crack in your mind again
what is it that you pray for
who is it that you work for
in your crazy world?
we dream God and God dreams us
like anyone who dreams of love
you will pray and prey and also be preyed upon
we will pray and prey and also be prayed upon
what is it that you fear most
has your love become a ghost
in this crazy world?
I think that God is a dream
but it would take me years to tell you what I mean
things are rarely ever as they seem
God is a dream
to hear the songs of angels
sung in wooden chapels long ago
a child of God in the mind of God
is the only God you may ever know
what is it you're searching for
what is it you kneeled before
with an open heart?
I think that God is a dream
but it would take a life to tell you what I mean
things are rarely ever as they seem God is a dream
Is God a dream?

EDEN WILL BLOOM
words and music by Tamra Hayden
Here I am on the far side of Eden.
There you are on the dark side of the moon.
I reach for you but my arms won't go the distance.
I reach out, but I can't reach you. I can't reach you.
La da da......
'Cause there you are, a mirage in the desert.
Here am I, lost without a clue.
What to say, what to do...
I've lost the words I want to say to you.
Standing here with feet of stone,
I'm left to mourn you all alone. All alone.
La da da......
I reach for you but my arms won't go the distance.
I reach out, but I can't reach you. I can't reach you. No!
SOLO
There you are on the far side of Heaven.
Here I am in our dark and lonely room.
I want to bring you home, no more hesitation!
I want to bring you home, once again Eden will bloom.
Eden will bloom!
La da da......
I want to bring you home!!!
No more mass destruction!
I want to bring you home, once again Eden will bloom.
Eden will bloom!
