Returning Songs

Songs about returning to oneself, returning Home...


BURIED TREASURE

I saw you
I saw you'd always been a part of me
you were the one with the love
in the heart of me

in moments
the sense of silence like a prayer
became joy to my world
I know you were there

Buried treasure
I always had it but I didn't know
Buried treasure
rich forever
buried treasure

you taught it
that living truly means to leave behind
all the fears, all the pain
and the weight on my mind

I feel it
the stillness at the heart of things
holding you in my arms
it resounds and sings

Buried treasure
I always had it but I didn't know
buried treasure
rich forever
buried treasure

Love was the key
it was love made me wise
in your gentle eyes
I am whole

Buried treasure
I always had it but I didn't know
buried treasure
rich forever
buried treasure


HOME FREE

I've come around to the other side
of the looking glass,
with all I've found, I can't decide
what has come to pass

Everything is new
and yet is still the same
since I saw you,
since I heard your name.

I'm trying my best to tell you
what you mean to me
a Paradise come to view
on a troubled sea
I can't imagine anywhere
I would rather be
the sun is shining on your hair
and I'm home free.

I've been searching all my life
unsure what for
I've had my share of stress and strife,
probably more

I only knew something was there
that wanted finding
though I sometimes wondered where
the way was winding

I'm trying my best to tell you
what you mean to me
a Paradise come to view
on a troubled sea

I can't imagine anywhere
I would rather be
the sun is shining on your hair
and I'm home free
the sun is shining on your hair
and I'm home free.


STAR OF ME

Star of me,
Divinity,
you show my way,
I pray to be
one with you
bright and true

Star of me,
Divinity,
hear my plea
this lonely night,
help me see, set me free,
fill me with your dazzling light.

Divinity, you call to me
when cold winds blow,
when clouds obscure
my sparkling glow,
I shall endure,

I know my star-self is there,
guiding me,
every day, everywhere,
bright star of mystery,
star of me
bright star of mystery,
star of me

when waters churn,
threatening to overturn me

I know my star-self is there,
guiding me,
every day, everywhere,
bright star of mystery,
star of me,
bright star of mystery
star of me
