B i o g r a p h y

Sophie Moleta was born in New Zealand but spent a good part of her childhood in Australia. Her theatrical and dramatic style - essential for any major artistic work - was learnt from her parents. Her father was an academic specialist in medieval and Renaissance Italy and her mother was an accomplished musician and accompanist to Dietrich Fischer-Diskau. At home, religion and classical music were very important. She learnt to play the piano when she was four years old. She composed odes to Jesus Christ when she was ten. But at fourteen, she got her first radio - and with it, the world. She discovered the Sex Pistols and David Bowie (she later became a groupie of his). Not long after that, she sang in a punk group, The Brautigans, in homage to the writer. In a spirit of adventure, she crossed the Australian bush and lived for a year in India. She went to France where she discovered Radio-France (!) and its classical concerts and trained as a sound engineer. But after the death of her mother, Sophie Moleta returned to New Zealand and began to write songs. These saw the light of day on her first recording, Slow Scape, and in Trust, an intimate diary covering the period from 1992 to 1998. It was with this self-produced record and her Yamaha RX-7 synth that -- thanks to the girls of the group Pooka - she returned to France at the invitation of the organisers of the festival " Les femmes s'en mêlent " to give some concerts. It was at these concerts that she enthralled audiences which included Bernard Lenoir and Hector Zazou. Bernard Lenoir was apparently heard to say he'd been begged by fellow concertgoers to invite her to do one of his Black Sessions.... In August 1999, Sophie Moleta left for England to record in Peter Gabriel's Real World studios under the aegis of Hector Zazou -- whom she ended up exhausting by the manner in which she threw herself into her songs as though they were her last task on earth. In March 2000, Dive came out at last on Le Village Vert. Paradoxically it revealed a less anxious Moleta, a woman open to the world and ready for everything. A tour through Europe followed Dive's release. Sophie Moleta was then living in Brighton, where she was working in parallel with the trance group Human Movement. The song Love has come again ended up on a lot of British compilations of electronic music. At the beginning of 2001, Sophie Moleta returned to Paris to try to free herself from her recording contract. She took advantage of her time there to record a dozen demos. As things stand, Sophie Moleta is still under contract to her French label. Nevertheless, she went to live in Australia in the hope of signing with a label there. Sophie Moleta has shown no sign of slowing down in her composition and recording, as is shown by her discography which now boasts three albums and an EP ready for publication. The songs she puts on her website are very sparse -- and calmer, too. But just as deep, just as divine.

Octave war

I'm gonna turn your fear into power
I'm gonna turn your power into will
I'm gonna turn your will into power
You can use this power as your drill
If it hurts you in the morning scream a little louder
And I will come running under
And you'll be my mirror ahha

I'm gonna turn your fear into power
I'm gonna turn your power into will
I'm gonna turn your will into power
You can use this power you can use
If it hurts you in the morning scream a little louder
And I will come running under
And you'll be my mirror ahha

I'm gonna turn your fear into power
I'm gonna turn your power into will
I'm gonna turn your will into power
You can use this power as your drill
If it hurts you in the morning scream a little louder
And I will come running under
And you'll be my mirror ahha

If it hurts you in the morning scream a little louder
And I will come running under
And you'll be my mirror ahha...

If it hurts you in the morning scream a little louder
And I will come running under
And you'll be my mirror ahha

Stay Gold

I nearly handed my power over
I was caught in the net of repeated enclosure
Forgetting that I am my own master
Forgetting somehow in the power of thought

Shock protectors and graphic designers
And how many times does desire come to blind us ?
I'm bathing in gold just to remind us
I'm writing this song just to remain us that we are all queens of swords
That we are all queens

Stay gold queen and let it all flow
Stay proud queen let them know
Stay gold queen it's all here for you don't believe in those
Who think that they know what is best for you
It really suits you you don't doubt queen
Your reason has never been clearer queen
Fly like a bird, stay gold queen
You truly deserve to wear gold

Stay gold let it all flow
Stay proud let them know
Stay gold queen it's all here for you don't believe in those
Who think that they know
Wear gold
It really suits you don't doubt
Your reason has never been clearer queen
Fly like a bird, stay gold queen
You truly deserve to wear gold

It really suits you don't doubt
Your reason has never been clearer
Fly like a bird, stay gold
You truly deserve to wear gold

It really suits you don't doubt
Your reason has never been clearer
Fly like a bird, stay gold
You truly deserve to wear gold

Wear gold, wear gold, wear gold, wear gold, wear gold

It really suits you don't doubt
Your reason has never been clearer
Fly like a bird, stay gold
You truly deserve to wear gold
Ahha wear gold, hmm hmm wear gold, ahha wear gold, ahha wear gold

Chapelle

It's sunday morning and I have returned
I'm here on the edges with something I've learned
And I'm warmer and stronger and it's easier to smile
And the pain I was holdings not only inside
I'm back in this chapelle on its stone floor
And the lights seems less awesome
And I've visited Helene and washed all my clothes
And it's all getting clearer the simpler it goes
And I don't need as much as I did before

There's somebody waiting my bums getting cold
So I get off this stone floor and hear for the door
And there's no holy water but I'm not dry
And there's things on my sunday list I cannot find
But the oranges are sweet here and the coffee is strong
And these moments above ground they're enough to move on

And there's no holy water but I'm not dry
And there's things on my sunday list I cannot find
But the oranges are sweet here and the coffee is strong
And these moments above ground they're enough to move on

Dive

And there is a sea behind the wall
It's like a swimming pool
And it's up on the sixth floor of this hotel
And I have come to find you
Tonight to ask you tonight
Do you want to dive ?
And I do not ask this lightly
Please do not take me lightly
I don't give a shit about the theory of love
Please do not intellectualize me

I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you
I wanna see me

I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you

I wanna dive in tonight

And I don't wanna take anything
And I don't want some time wasting cheap thrill experiment
And I know this may not last more than three hours we have before
We have to drive we have to leave this sea this city
This beautiful part of the world
But I lose absolutely all control
Every time I look at you every time

I wanna dive in
I wanna cut through
I wanna go there with you
I wanna see you

Lewes

Hmm, Ok.
Up here on the hill
I can see everything
Woodsmoke in the air and the blackbirds are
Singing just a little too much time
Looking after someone else
Just a little too much pain from taking everything that he said
And it's hard sometimes to know
Which way and I know I have to let him know

Up here on the hill I can feel again
Just that breath of air to get my head back
Into gear and I know now that this is my
It's my lucky chance
Just to feel this energy it's rising up
And it's hard sometimes to know
Which way and I know I have to let him know

Up here on the hill
I'm just a visitor
I wish I could stay
But where all just
Visitors
And the green blade is rising up
Inside of me
And the spring flowers are here they're all on the hill beside me
And it's hard sometimes to know
Which way
And I know I have to let him go
Which way
And the green blade is rising up
Inside of me
And the spring flowers are here they're all on the hill beside me
And it's hard sometimes to know
Which way and I know I have to let him know
Which way

Apollinaire

The sky is as blue
And as black as ink
My eyes drown in it and sink
And I see far away cathedral
And I shall never forget this journey
When non of us said a word
And when I was a little child
My mother wrapped me in blue and white
Oh holy virgin
Do you love me still ?

I don't believe in heaven or in hell
I don't believe je ne crois pas
Her hair is gold it is so bright
And like a lasting flash of light
Or like the flames which slow parade
And laugh at me and go on laugh
There are so many things in here
I do not dare to tell you
I write to you beneath this tent while
Summer day becomes a shape of startling
Magnificent and flowers of the cannonade
They stud the pale blue firmament
Before existing fade
I'm leaving at eigh twenty eight
So raise the blind and see her dress
Her dress as black as nails

And flowers of the cannonade
They stud the pale blue firmament
Before existing fade
I'm leaving at eigh twenty eight
So raise the blind and see her dress
Her dress as black as nails

And flowers of the cannonade
They stud the pale blue firmament
Before existing fade
I'm leaving at eigh twenty eight
So raise the blind and see her dress
Her dress as black as nails

And flowers of the cannonade
They stud the pale blue firmament
Before existing fade
I'm leaving at eigh twenty eight
So raise the blind and see her dress
Her dress as black as nails

And flowers of the cannonade
They stud the pale blue firmament
Before existing fade
I'm leaving at eigh twenty eight
So raise the blind and see her dress
Her dress as black as nails

Geneve

"Take it" she said.
"I can feel you're cold
It's not normal
She said "take my warm"
And she does and she lets it in
And she takes it
It comes rushing in
And little by little all the pieces fall
Together to make her
Life a whole
And she sleeps
The air comes to kiss her skin
To relieve her of the depths she's in
And she wakes she bathes
She sees her skin
And she's proud of who
She really is
And if you feel tired and you wonder why
It's because you've got something
Buried inside
Let it let it go
Be who you are
Be free with who you are
And she's moving through this field of gold
Like a chat noir an eagle a polar bear
"Take it" she said 
"This precious thing it's yours to keep you're arriving"
And she does and she lets it in
And she takes it
It comes flooding in
And her blood becomes red again
And geneve is all it could have been
And kissing you
With that taste in my mouth

Fresh rain

You conceal yourself well dear
But not well enough but not enough
Cause I find that I'm wanting
A little more of you're stuff
And I felt it before dear
And that's why I came
And I'm feeling some reason
To clean up my act
And I'm not about to transfert
This reason
There is a lot of other factors
That have something to do
And until I am ready
I'll keep it
Until it is ready keep it
Keep it

Fresh rain dancing yeh X8

I'm a little scared
Of the force dear
The white light
The white noise
I'm a little scared of what could happen dear
If we decide
I'll conceal myself
Well dear just well enough
Until I find that you're wanting

Fresh rain dancing yeh X6
You conceal yourself well dear
But not well enough

Anicca

Two blood red plums
One for me one for you
A waxing moon
A frangipani and a white white rose
And anything can change
Anything at all

And you can sit anywhere you like darling
You don't need so much shelter
And there's always the warm sun
And the street lights for writing
And anything can change
Anything anything at all
Anything can change

And it's all the same
This flesh this flesh and these stars
And it seems a little crazy
We're full of these scars

And it's all the same

We're full of these scars

When anything can change

God and fire

Write for the sky
Write for the heaven's curve
Let no leaded saxon black
Obfuscate your verse

Write for smell and wind
For the silver leaf
Let no ugly human face look
Or know or breathe

Write for God and fire
For a love of place
Let the void be rid of man
Frozen by a flame...

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know

Well first there's the girls that had the babies
If that's not the greatest miracle in the world
I was there at Hannahs birth of Leonid
She became a goddess in hours, then
My sister Gabrielle she's had Frederick and Amos
And somehow she still has the time to call
To send her love she sends her love, she sends her love

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know

Angie with Kelanie sea princess
She works on Air New Zealand
What a voice what a smile she has

And Clare whose gonna study law you know
To change things in the system
Policy law to change things in the system

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars

Standing on corners rapping to being a beatmaker (?)
To dropping some of the hottest verses pop has ever made
So I'm gonna look after my own
Girls that deserve some stars
I'm sure Mom agrees with that

She raised a star
Important to treat girls right
The type never to disrespect
So I'm taking all that love back home to my girls
Thanks for dropping by when times were tough

And Natalie who had Gracie
And I miss her around
Her plants her books and her strong Taurus

Then theres the girls
There's Courtney ,Elise, Ella and Fina
Cara and Michaela, Amy and Palepa
All these girls so beautiful
Learning how to play and sing the music

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know

Marianne, she lives upstairs
Lusia whose opening her centre in Paris
There's Trish the dish
She makes thing possible
Se pays in advance
So I can get organized
Erina sweet Erina
You deserves a song all to yourself

But how did you grow so sweet
How did you grow so sweet as Jazmine

Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know deserves a packet of stars
Every girl I know

Te-atawhai

I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my innerchild
I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my innerchild

Piggy backing her half way home to the soccer park
I'd ridden past 5 hours before in Berhampmore
Not feeling the weight of her at all
So engaged in the nite, the action, the breaking, the jazmin
Feeling the love of her twenty three kilos against my cozy fifty four

And I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my inner child
So to uncle Kahus after the breaking
I learned one move, so happy, just to learn that
Walking to Newtown
Pushing Te-Atawhai up the hill on my mountain bike
Her body strung across
Maru takes off down the hill, resting his foot
Te-Atawhai and me holding hands crossing the street

We stay with Kahu
Maru reading him Mind changing life changing stuff
It's rubbing off on the people around
I want to massage Maru there
I can while he’s reading
Give his feet some Love
Te-Atawhai helps picking the soft grass
The dandelion leaves
She’s making a cake
She’s eating the pink icing

And I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my innerchild

And when we get to the park
It's time for Te-Atawhai to walk on soft grass across the park
Up the trail in the dark, up that windy hill to Kingston heights
And down the road to the house on stilts

We sit on the stairs for a while
Looking up the sky we see a satellite
Moving above our heads
And if you look at one patch of sky
For seven minutes you will see a shooting star

Inside it's time for Te-Atawhai to go to bed
I read her a bedtime story and switch off the light
I enjoy being her mum for a nite

And in the morning
I feel a lot of love for him
I wonder what I can do
As he gets Te-Atawhai ready for school
I ride home in the morning traffic in the mist

And it's Clare's birthday
And I wanted to see her
I’m so tired and I can't talk about this
To those committed couples and me wanting it so much
With a playboy and his daughter Te-Atawhai

And it's Clare's birthday
And I wanted to see her
But I’m so tired and I can't talk about this
To those committed couples and me wanting it so much
With a playboy and his daughter Te-Atawhai

His beautiful daughter Te-Atawhai

I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my inner child
I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my inner child

I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my inner child
I love that girl Te-Atawhai
She reminds me of my inner child

Grace

All in orange and yellow
All in blondness and high five stripes
And Gracie is a girl

She lived next door to me

Gracie laughs a lot
She smiles a lot
Even with a broken arm

And I saw her the first day
She started walking

Garden

Just pretend you live upstairs
You have your own life
And just pretend you live next door
You have your own life too

And just pretend we could see each other
Just when it worked
Just when we went to the garden

It's different now
We're all grown up and you live in London
You got a lovely man and a baby
A number two, on the way

And you Clare live in Melbourne
You're not married
But you're settled with him
And you both talk of coming back
To the home country some day

And I imagine how that could be
We could love and help each other
Share chores, clothes and other things
Remember, mama together

And our brother, he could come and stay
Papa, he could come too
On a still day walks by the ocean
Where the Italians used to go fishing

And I could look after the babies
When you needed time out

And I imagine how that could be
We could love and help each other
Share clothes, chores and other things
Remember, mother together

And I imagine how that could be
We could love and help each other
Share chores, clothes and other things
Remember, mama together

Just pretend you live upstairs
You have your own life
And just pretend you live next door
You have your own life too

And just pretend we could see each other
Just when it worked
Just when we went to the garden

Rub your shoulders

This next song is a poem
By a friend of mine
Who also lives in Dunedin in New Zealand
It's a very creative little town
And the words are, "I'd like to rub your shoulders with these words, wrap them around your neck
like the seaweed on bends line."
And it's a poem about walking through the forest
In the south of New Zealand
And, um, talks about the toi toi
Which are really native New Zealand grasses
They're like a long stem with a really white fluffy thing
And it talks about all the mountains and climbing mountains
And it's quite romantic
And it's the idea of, like, being able to message someone
Or someone who's quite verbal who wishes they could message somebody with their words

I'd like to rub your shoulders with these words
Wrap them around your neck
Like the seaweed on bends line
I wanna hang out with you while the toi toi swing upstream
Making dates for another swim in the river

And we'd admire the forest together
Amongst perched hills
And I'd tell you about the groves
The groves, the groves, the groves, the groves

Feel like our friendship
Where the love of mountains is wind song for dreamers
In an ocean of trees
I dive like a pigeon climbing for the joy of falling
Climbing for the joy of falling

In an ocean of trees
I dive like a pigeon climbing for the joy of falling
Climbing for the joy of falling
Climbing for the joy of falling

Climbing for the joy of falling
Climbing for the joy of falling
Climbing for the joy of falling

Thank you
Thank you

Song For Celeste

We saw the river
We saw the river
We saw the river
We saw the river

And we saw the leaves
Dancing in the wind
We saw the river
From the valley jungle
And we lay down
On my old man soft jacket
And looked up at the poplars
And you smiled

What a smile
All faerie
All angel
Those blue eyes

Looking at the world with you
Through the eyes of this child

And you are strong
You are beautiful
And you you are wild
You have wings
And you can fly to the river
Fly to the river
You can fly to the river
When you close your eyes
Celeste

Fly to the river
Fly to the river
You can fly to the river
When you close, when you close
When you close your eyes

Fly to the river
Fly to the river
You can fly to the river
When you close, when you close

Celeste
Fly to the river
Fly to the river
You can fly to the river
Fly to the river
You can fly to the river
You can fly to the river
And you can fly to the river
When you close your eyes
Your eyes

Sky Going Lady

(Feat Jaya Penelope)

In the first spinning place my spell
I have a one shining thing to sing to you

Ave, ave
Ave, ave

I wanna speak holy
I wanna be holy
I wanna spill myself into the night
Like white ink, like silk

I wanna be so precious
Lit up gold crown Madonna
Glowing in the night
Garish fairy lights
One thousand candle tongue prayers
Flying up to heaven

I wanna be so light
I turn my palms up like
Satellite dishes cup empty space
See how my wimple curls like a lily′s lip

Ave, ave
Ave, ave
I wanna be so light

But you are the keeper of crisp gold apples
And I don't wanna be a kept woman in your orchard
There are forbidden celestial plums dark-starred
I wanna live forever

And I am a friend to feathered things
See them light in your orchard on my silver hands
And why can′t you see it's me
I'm standing behind your house

And I am a friend to feathered things
See them light in your orchard on my silver hands
And why can′t you see it′s me
I'm standing behind your house
And I am a friend to feathered things

Angel of Silence

I am here
In this moment
In this sunlight

Up on the bank
After the days
Of icey coldness

I am like the flame
Burning centre

Standing solid
In this storm
Finding a peace
That for so long
Seemed forgotten

And it's amazing what it takes
To break the ice
it's amazing what it takes
To crack the glass

It's amazing how much courage
it takes to break through a pattern

And I am here in this moment
In this evening light
Standing alone here
In a space that I've created

Loving that space
Loving the silence
Loving the nothing
Loving the choices
Loving the freedom

It's amazing what it takes
To change your mind
It's amazing what it takes
To begin to become aligned
Amazing the break through
That happen, happen in time
In silence

Listen in the silence for the angels
Listen through the clearing through the spaces
Feel the way their wings are holding you
Feel the love their kisses are sending you
Feel all your worries just slip away
And feel how in the silence you can see again

Listen in the silence for the angels
Listen through the clearing through the spaces
Feel the way their wings are holding you
Feel the love their kisses are sending you
And feel all your worries just slip away
And feel how in the silence you can see again

And listen in the silence for the angels
And listen through the clearing through the spaces
And feel the way their wings are holding you
And feel the love their kisses are sending you
And feel all your worries just slip away
And feel how in the silence you can see again

And listen in the silence for the angels
And listen through the clearing through the spaces
And feel the way their wings are holding you
And feel the love their kisses are sending you
And feel all your worries just slip away
And feel how in the silence you can see again

Cossack

When a maiden throws her scarf into the river
It will bind her cossack to her heart even if she weeps
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups

When a maiden throws her scarf into the river
It will bind her cossack to her heart even if she weeps
It will bind her cossack to her heart even if she weeps
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups

But who is going to be there when her body catches up with her mind
Who is going to be there when her body catches up with her mind
Who is going to be there when her body catches up with her mind
Who is going to be there? things start to materialise

She chose all the wrong people to learn all the right things
You know about matching damage patterns
She can choose all the right people to learn all the right things
All the right things

Who is going to be there when her body catches up with her mind
Who is going to be there? things start to materialise

You see the snow goose need not bathe to make itself white,
To make itself white, to make itself
Neither need you do anything but
Be yourself, be yourself, be yourself

Who is going to be there when her body catches up with her mind
Who is going to be there

Lover wrought of strong psychic muscle and tender flesh
Who can see into her wild heart

When a maiden throws her scarf into the river, into the river
It will bind her cossack to her heart even if she weeps
It will bind her cossack to her heart even if she weeps
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups
And her tears will be diamonds and stars on his stirrups

Fly

Lindsay's gonna play the next song with me
This is another poem written by the same person that wrote Shoulders
And this very little poem and the words are
"I find it hard to fly with my arms crossed"
So it's like "I can't fly when my hands are like this
But when the church doors are open
I can fly through heaven
Come outside
I'll show you what I mean"

So, I guess it's open to interpretation
But I think it's a very beautiful poem about freedom

I find it hard to fly with my arms crossed
I find it hard to fly
When the church doors are open
I can fly, I can fly through heaven

Come outside, I'll show you what I mean
Come outside, I'll show you what I mean

I find it hard to fly with my arms crossed
I find it hard to fly
When the church doors
When the church doors are open, are open
I can fly, I can fly through heaven

Come outside, I'll show you what I mean
Come outside. I'll show you what I mean

I can fly, I can fly through heaven
When the church
When the church doors are open, are open

I can fly, I can fly through heaven
When the church doors are open, are open
I can fly, I can fly through heaven

Come outside
Show you what I mean
Come outside
Show you what I mean

Come outside
I'll show you what I mean
Come outside
I'll show you what I mean.

Thank you
That was, um, improvised
So thank you
I just met Sean today, so...

Stand your ground

Clouds attack the mountain one after the other
The mountain never knuckles under any assault
Mount Fuji is noble and shining
Mount Fuji is noble and shining
And you stand your ground
You claim your victory
You stand your ground
You claim your victory

Mount Fuji knows no rest
She is always exposed to the winds and the clouds
She appears to be laughing away the wind and the snow
And you stand your ground
You claim your victory
You stand your ground
You claim your victory
You stand your ground
You claim your victory
You stand your ground
You claim your victory

You only have to look at her
And she gives you peace of mind
And you stand your ground
You claim your victory
Stand your ground
You claim your victory
When you stand your ground
You claim your victory
When you stand your ground
You claim your victory

Clouds attack the mountain one after the other
The mountain never knuckles under any assault
Mount Fuji is noble and shining
Mount Fuji is noble and shining

Raumati

And little one within me within my room
Benedict Raumati, you have many names, many forms
You come into be my teacher to be my guide
To show me how to love unconditional
How to play, how to love

And soon you must leave this form

Keep our intentions and choices pure
Keep our life path strong
Keep us pure

And become a star
Shine up their galaxy so far
Guide and protect us
Keep our intentions and choices pure
Keep our life path strong
Keep us pure

And little one within me within my room
Benedict Raumati, you have many names, many forms
You come in to be my teacher to be my guide
To show me how to love
Respect, honour, respect
And soon you must leave this form

Soon you must leave this form
Soon you must leave this form
Soon

To become a star
Shine up their galaxy so far
Guide and protect us
To keep our intentions and choices pure
To keep our life path strong

To become a star
Shine up their galaxy (become a star)
Guide and protect us (become a star)
To become a star
To become a star
To become a star (become a star)
To become a star

When our kids are just having fun in the bath

Oh Kerry, oh Kerry

But as for us you know what I mean
We haven't been that careful
But you know there will be time
For us to shine again

We haven't been that careful
But you know there will be time
For us to shine again

My Secret Garden

These roses
That scent
This ache
This space
That birdcall
That sound
Crow calling I'm found

And this is my secret garden
This is my deepest place
This is my one true moment
My saving grace

These roses
That scent
This ache
This space
That birdcall
That sound
Crow calling I'm found

And this is my secret garden
This is my deepest place
My one true moment
My saving grace

And this is my secret garden
This is my deepest place
This is my one true moment
My saving grace

Carla's house

I feel like I can
Open cupboard doors here
And bathe in citrus delight
Be nurtured by John Mclaughlin

I feel like I can
Open cupboard doors here
And bathe in citrus delight
Be nurtured by John Mclaughlin

I feel like I can
Open cupboard doors here
And bathe in citrus delight
Be nurtured by John Mclaughlin

And free
Flow emotion

There is nothing blocked here
Old doors and old things
And green and white and wood

And free
Flow emotion
And free
Flow emotion

There is nothing blocked here
Old doors, old things
Green and white

And free, free, free, free, free
Flow emotion
And free
Flow emotion

And free
Flow
And free
Flow

And free
Flow

The Birth of Freedom

I let go of wanting closure
And all I feel is love for you
Allowing not owning
And all I feel is love for you

Love for you, love for you, love for you
Love for you, love for you, love for you

No more tears and no more heartache
And all I feel is love for you
No more blame, no more questions
And all I feel is love for you
Love for you, love for you, love for you

I let go of wanting closure
And all I feel is love for you
Allowing not owning
And all I feel is love for you

Love for you, love for you, love for you
Love for you, love for you, love for you

No more tears and no more questions
And all I feel is love for you
And no more blame, no more heartache
And all I feel is love for you
Love for you, love for you, love for you
Warm fuzzy love for you
Love for you, love for you

And I let go of wanting closure
And all I feel is love for you
Allowing not owning
And all I feel is love for you

Art for arts sake
 
Each step can heal
Every little thing i feel
Is it wrong to have some ideals
About the ways to heal

And i need to go away now
Far from this situation
There's been a lot lot lot of damage done
Without deep communication

And until we learn to love ourselves
Nobody can do it for you
Until you learn to respect yourself
Nobody is gonna know how to treat you

Until you stop to project yourself
Nobody else can come in freely
Until you learn to lose yourself

Give up give up give up

'Cause its arts for arts sake
It's money
For a piece of
Prime beef steak
It's love for loves sake
It's respect for freedoms sake

It's arts for arts sake
Money for a prime beef steak
Love for loves sake
Respect for freedoms sake
