We are the same 03:28
lyrics

We are the same By Heather Hill, Alec Steinwall, Orville Heyn It isn’t about one It’s not about the strongest one Or the loudest and the richest one of all It’s about the harmony and dignity And the way we help each other when we fall It's not about the win It's not about collecting things Or trying to barricade the wolf outside the door It's about letting go Room for possibilities Being childlike in the way we trust our heart You 
Are what I am I 
Am what you are
 And we are divine
, we are love It's not about the dark It's not about awful crimes The sadness that brings us to our knees It’s about the simple flame Getting us through the black To the morning light of knowing a new day You 
Are what I am 
And I 
Am what you are
 And we are divine, we are love Reach through my hand
 And look through my eyes
 We are the same
 x2 You 
Are what I am 
And I 
Am what you are
 And we are divine
 We are love We are the same

Acceptance 04:05

Acceptance C. Heather Hill Sometimes I’m ashamed to be a human Sometimes it’s hard to stand the pain To breath the air of hatred and indifference To breath this air makes me complicit again Why can’t I inhale? Can I love another and accept all difference? Can I soften all the things I think I know? Can I listen for the rhythms that aren’t my own? I can do hard things. Can I see beyond my pain to see another? Can I see beyond my pain to love another? Sometimes I’m amazed to be a human Sometimes I can’t believe the joy To breath the air with so many brave ones To breath the air of this beautiful planet Why can’t I exhale? Can we love each other and accept our difference? Can we soften all the things we think we know? Can we listen for the rhythms that aren’t our own? We can do hard things. Can we see beyond our pain to see another? Can we see beyond our pain to love another? Sometimes I am angry and I’m sad Sometimes I just want to help To breath the air filled with trauma To breath the air filled with hope How will I cope? Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out In, out

Be Gentle C. Heather Hill I’ll be gentle I’ll be gentle I’ll be gentle to myself It’s the part of me That’s my humanity That harbours cruelty and great love It’s the part of me I am quick to bury That will always find its way to light Oh be gentle, Oh be gentle Oh be gentle to yourself It’s that part of you The weapon cuts right through But can never take your spark It’s the part of you When your sacrifice comes due Surrenders you to love Oh be gentle, Oh be gentle Oh be gentle to yourself Grace go with you - Grace be with you – Grace is the gentle in you It’s the part of us That can heal the trust That’s broken and will mend Oh be gentle, Oh be gentle Oh be gentle to ourselves

Walking with Angels 02:54

Walking with the Angels By Heather Pirie and Karl Machat Its been quite a long night looking after others I’m feeling like there’s nothing left for me I hear your whisper Although I’m weary “Come walk with me” Seems like all my thoughts are destined to conspire When the downward slope is slippery and crossed Is there enough love To burn this frost? “Come walk with me” Walking with the Angels Down by the shore Looking for direction Healing the sore You’re walking beside me Holding my hands Smiling so bright Like sun on the sand Finding answers to the questions that allude me Through the simple steps of one after the other To find release/relief To know I’m free “Come walk with me” Walking with the Angels Down by the shore Looking for direction Healing the sore You’re walking beside me Holding my hands Smiling so bright Like sun on the sand Always having one foot on the ground while the other flies… Walking with the Angels Down by the shore Looking for direction Healing the sore You’re walking beside me Holding my hands Smiling so bright Like sun on the sand

Sailing Away I’m sailing all my worries away, worries away, I’m sailing away. I’m sailing all my worries away, worries away, I’m sailing today.

He's a Daddy 03:00

He’s A Daddy Words and music by Heather Hill There was a man His flowers so tall He slept so well Cause he’d worked past the bell To care for his family Do his share in society He’s the kindest man He’s a daddy He’d rise before dawn And he would pray That we’d be safe While he was away Teaching them at school To play by the rules He’s the strongest man He’s a daddy How can you ever thank a man Who lives what he believes? He’d come home at night Take us right outside Praise nature for its beauty In rain, sun or snow He’d read us stories Of magic, hope and glories He’s the wisest man He’s a daddy How can you ever thank a man Who lives what he believes? Believes….Believes… There was a man Who would never grow old Not in my mind Or in my time If you need him I could share him with you He’s my superman He’s my daddy

Venus 02:36

Venus C. Heather Hill As I sit at my piano The night falls on Blue Mountains I look out my window I see the stars fill the canvas As I live in isolation I feel the fear grow between us I know this too shall pass away I look to the sky for hope as always The simple light of Venus Casts a gentle stroke of genius With the five points she leads us On a journey of soul freeness As I sit at my piano I see you’re brighter than the others I wonder about your rhythm How you turn the other way As the universe is expanding There’s a place for everyone Of the planets and stars And the axis spins on longing as always The simple light of Venus Casts a gentle stroke of genius With the five points she leads us On a journey of soul freeness It feels like the sun only comes out once and then its gone It feels like a year, but its’s one day, and it’s so wrong Your beauty stays for a moment like a song The simple light of Venus Casts a gentle stroke of genius With the five points she leads us On a journey of soul freeness As I sit at my piano The night falls on Blue Mountains I look out my window I see the stars fill the canvas

The River 02:39

The River Heather Pirie Do you ever feel like you’re rowing up stream You’re tired and broken You’re ready to quit You go within cause there’s no one left You hear the voice within It says “Let go of the oars” Let go, Let Flow Flow down the river And into the sea Do you ever feel like your breaking through A damn of logs You’re finding your way through Do you ever see the ocean afar You winding your way You’re heading for the stars Let go, Let Flow Flow down the river And into the sea Let go, Let Flow Flow down the river And into the sea Down to where the sea meets the sky. Let go to Let come.

White Queen My torn heart Taking its sweet time To come around To hear the other side My grey thoughts Sucking all the light Trying to understand What brought this night Melt the snow around my heart Help me see, the good in me Not what I lack, I want you back Remembering then When I was queen The court at peace Your attentions keen The finest gifts Stolen moments of fire Nothing could come between This strongest desire Melt the snow around my heart Help me see, the good in me Not what I lack, I want you back I have to find a way I have to find a way to make the rivers rise Drown the sadness away x2 Melt the snow around my heart Help me see, the good in me Not what I lack, I want you back Waiting here In my asylum For the glint of hope To get off this island

Let Go by Heather Pirie Are you down Are you weak Are you sick or asleep Are you tired, are you tired? Are you confused Are you sad Alone or mad Are you lost, are you lost? Can you let go Let love fill your soul Flow Are you warm Are you rest Are you calm and blessed Are you glad, are you glad? Can you let go Let love fill your soul Feel Mary is here, she’s holding you tight Sending your fear into the dark night Mary is here, can you believe Open your heart and let love intercede Can you let go Let love fill your soul Release You are well You are light You constant and bright You are healed, you are healed Let go Let love fill your soul Receive

I Rise 03:09

I Rise By Heather Hill and Harrison Fine I think of those times in my life When all I see is clouds and grey I hope there is more for me Just a horizon away I have the courage that I need When life falls like gravity I rise even when it rains, it rains, I rise even when it rains, it rains, I rise even when it rains, I rise! I look around me and know That you need me to stay I chose to go inside Hear what I need to find my way I have the courage that I need When life falls like gravity I rise even when it rains, it rains, I rise even when it rains, it rains, I rise even when it rains, I rise! I rise, I rise, rise above There’s a reason for everything Maybe we need these storms See the rain wash away the fear We don’t hold anymore
