Track Name: Spiritual
All over myself all over you
All over this life and past ones too
You all over my life

You seeing without looking
You feeling without touching
You kissing without lips
Swimming in cosmic love,
You are
Swimming in cosmic love

Silent music of our souls
Blocks the pains of reality
You deserve the best


The spiritual fulfilling
Invisible forces
Don't ever hide
Track Name: Hidden Treasures
Dreams of love come from above
Wings of glory
Yellow sun is shining through
Making it warm

Sweet embrace of your lover's grace
We are flowing
Soft as water and hard as a stone
Your heart is sown

With seeds
Of magic that completes
Of never ending leads
To the hidden treasures of the mind
Unwind
Touch and kiss the light
Feeling at its hight
Wrapped in white light

Dream in circles
High and low
Find a friend to linger on
Free yourself from prisons of the earthly love

Close your eyes
See paradise
Behind your story
Life can never be the same
Time to reclaim

What's yours
Open dusty doors
Throw away what bores
Let the passion dwell
Rebel
Stronger than a spell
Ringing silver bells
For the visions of the sumptious flame
Track Name: Colder
Colder,
You're becoming colder,
As we're growing older
Watching days go by

Somewhere,
Somewhere deep inside of my mind
I know we're still alive
I've got my twenty five and hopes for future

Neu seja, tao frio, con migo, meu amor

Wisdom,
You don't need so much of it
Yet you're so attatched to it,
Touched by it,
Living your life how you please

Colder,
Don't be so cold to me
I've got a soul in me
Thirsty for love

Neu seja, tao frio, con migo, meu amor
Track Name: Summer is Gone
Like hissing dawn
Summer is gone
Whispering breathing caressing the wind

White feather floats
Setting the modes
For the unknown and invisible

I look at strangers
Passing along
I know my heart is not grown
You open my eyes
To the rhythms of life
Watching the world on hold

You can understand
You can comprehend
Nature sets the feeling
Nobody can help
You just love you can't help
Love you can't help
You just love you can't help
Love you can't help
Track Name: Be Here Now
Wonderful body full of tears and fears
How would I know how to please
Tell me how to be beautiful from the inside out
Tell me how to have pure soul from the inside out
Tell me how to love your life from the inside out

You can dance and sing your way through your life
You can also grouch and complain all the time
Nothing to worry about anytime
Feel beautiful anytime
You can trust your life anytime

Realized beings full of love
Fulfilling the moments make them last
Pleasure and pain and loss and gain and fame and shame are all the same
be here now
Track Name: Shine The Brightest
Waves of love and fresh blue wind
Moon caresses weeping
Raising buckets from a well
Full of tender light

Stay with me just one more night
Prince of lucid passions
There's no need to draw a line
Where the morning starts

Through my eyes into your soul
Rays of hope are shining
Gather ancient secret stones
Planets are aligning
Shine the brightest

Longing for the summer rain
Yearning for attraction
Our clouds will collide
With the satisfaction
Never miss a chance to sense
Wisdom filled aroma
We can press life on repeat
I can see your aura
Shine the brightest
