- Seabird
I followed a bird to the sea shore
And I saw more in considered flight
They took to the sky in a sequence
Like imprints of my toes in sand
They turned all as one
And showed me how I can dreamTread softly I heard as they circled
And go slowly, keep your hopes alight
And look to the brink of a sea change
And be certain as you take our hand
I moved with the sound
Of waves all around in step with the moonAll hope came ablaze like the thunder
And wonder like northern lights
I knew as they flew I could join them
On adventures to unknown sights
My toes in the sand
And birds in my hand chasing a dream - One Small Voice
One small voice is all I have to sing
Though modest and gentle
I’ll be forever singingOne small song is all I have to share
Though humble and simple
Through all time it will be ringingWhen I lose my way
When I’m alone without direction
Stay with me, be my comforter
And protect me from all danger and all harm
Be forever with me now and ‘til the end
Be forever my companion and my friendOne full heart is all I’ll ever need
For loving and serving
To show compassion and forgivingOne full life is all I long to lead
And sing of my gladness
That in your radiance I’ll be living - Dream You Of
Lifegiving love, dream you of
Ever long in your heart, dream you ofWhen under dark clouds walking without an end in sight
I will to you, as a shelter, promise a place of light
When in the wilderness searching, thirsty and all alone
I will appear an oasis, easing your weary bones.O lux de lumine
Redemptor saeculi
Laudes sumereWhen under strain of battle, faltering in the fight
I will enfold you in armour, follow you through the nightDominus meum
Dominus firmamentum meum - The Lark’s Last Song
The lark’s last song is o’er the meadow sweeping
in homage now to theeThe parting call he’s ardently completing
with golden filigreeThe head is lifted high, the melody sublime,
a beauteous lustre blooming now, blooming now,
blooming now from the tallest boughThe lark’s last song is sorely only fleeting
yet lingers on after fading awayThe sound is gone but never truly lost
within us it shall remainHe takes no more to flight, now sings his lullaby
now sings the lullaby that carries him to eternal restWhat greater joy.
What greater joy I’ll find like no other
to breathe my last for another
no greater joy than to breathe my last in joyous song to theeSo my last song when time it comes to singing
will cherish the heart of theeLet all fall soft and fall together still
to hear the words I longed to speak to thee - Always There
When the evening comes and day is done
When tomorrow seems so far, far away
If you cry for what has gone, or fear for what’s to come
Still the dawn will wake another dayAs the shadows of the night appear
And regret and sorrow sigh you to sleep
All the things that might have been, that never were foreseen
Still the dawn is never far awayAlways there, at your side, in the whispers of the night
I’ll be there every day, in the mist of morning light
Then the song we shall sing lasts for all time
As the clouds will pass away and the night turns to day
I’ll be thereAlways be there for you
- Twilight
Twilight is stealing over hill and sea
Vesper bells pealing call us to thee
Lowly confessing trespass and shame
Bravely expressing faith in thy nameLow at thy mercy seat
Father thy children meet
Craving thy guidance sweet
Call to theeCall us to thee o’er hill and sea
Call us to theePraising with one accord
Hearing thy holy word
Here let our service Lord
Call to thee - Once (Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence)
Once upon a dream
I was searching for you
Once upon a dream
I called to you
Once upon a dream
I was lost and lonely
Once upon a dreamOnce upon a time
Now there’s only but a
memory of the time
I feel it still
Once upon a time
How I cherish all the
memories of that timeOnce upon a place
Where we built our future
There within that place
It haunts me still
Once upon a place
How my life retains the
imprint of that placeOnce upon a wish
That we’ll move together
Held within a wish
Eternally
Knowing that a wish
Is enough to hold me
In your loving arms.Once upon a life
Walking hand in hand through
Moments of our life
For evermore
Once upon a life
Spent together sharing
Every part of lifeOnce
- When I am Laid in Earth (Dido’s Lament)
When I am laid, am laid in earth
May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breastRemember me, but ah forget my fate.
- Veni Sancte Spiritu
Veni sancte
Veni sancte, spiritu sancta
Veni spiritu
GloriaOn a hill top I have heard you through the whisper of the trees
Your voice rings out whenever I listen and carries on the breezeIn the distance I have felt you, through the movement in the air
The wind blows strong about my face and I know that you are thereA light to guide and comfort us, in trouble give us hope
A song to light our joyful hears, O cantate dominoIn my memory I have known you, like a dream that’s passed away
Ever old and new you’ll carry me through to the brightness of the dayVeni spiritu, sancte spiritu, veni gloria
Veni spiritu, sancte spiritu
Shine forever in our hearts and fill us with life we prayAmen
- Resurrectio
Ego sum resurrection et vita
Qui credit in me, non morietur in aeternumI am the resurrection and the life
Who believeth in me though dead shall have lifeChorus angelorum te suscipiat
Et aeternum habeas requiemAnd all who live and believeth in me
They shall never die but live eternallyWithin a dream I heard you call my name
An everlasting voice that is unchanged
From the beginning to the end of things
O come and carry me upon your windsO come and carry me away
Requiem aeternam dona eis domine
Et omnis qui vivit et credit non morietur in aeternum.
- Going Home
Going home, going home
I am going home
Quiet like some still day
I am going homeIt’s not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Never fear no moreMother’s there expecting me
Father’s waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knewI’m just going home
No more fear, no more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more.Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begunThere’s no break, there’s no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and onGoing home, going home
I am going home
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begunI’m just going home.
- Lullay
Lully lulla
Sing lully lullayLay down your head, leave the day,
cast out your thoughts
I will sing them all awayWhen darkness falls, look to me
I’ll stay by your side
My song will be your guideWhen you’ve closed your eyes
When you’ve found your way
I’m still here (here in the darkness)
Who will sing for me?Who will sing me to sleep?
Will you sing me to sleep?Sing me to sleep.
- Music was Born (from Rhapsody in Blue)
Music was born to help the world go round
Born to adorn it with a sweet sound
Music to me is all we want it to be
For music is there to help all us to see
The things we may not always seeAnd music I know will help the world to grow
(Showing us places dreamers all dream of,
Sending us heavenwards leading us forward
Sharing its beauty giving us new hope)Music moves on and thought it moves slow
(Wandering onwards, making new mem’ries
Taking us on to happy tomorrows)Music will show the way to things we don’t know
It’s there for you and for me, it loves us all equallyI love music and I know that music loves me
