EXTRAORDINARY HERO

CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?

 
Here in the stillness, here is where my heart is at peace.
Here in the silence, here is where anxieties cease.
When I wake to greet each day and as I journey on my way; 
Home will say come back to stay, here is your security.

Oh, how the darkness swallows light ;
And, oh, how my heart beats so in fright.

Little I knew how it would be; little I knew about becoming me.
Can anyone hear me? Can anyone hear me?

Voices inside silently cry, voices inside of my head do not lie.
Can anyone hear me? Can anyone hear me?

Shall I bend a knee or shall I rise; tomorrow is calling me.
Shall I hide my face or let it shine; tomorrow now waits for me.

So, I go on my ride, afraid and alone and shaking inside. 
In my mind chaos is here; all that I know; all that I fear.

I want to be in a place where the wind blows free.
I want to hear a beautiful harmony.
I want to be in a space where no eyes can see me, 
Wanting to hide; wanting to flee.

Tell me where I’ll be when destiny calls my name.
Tell me what I’m living for; does destiny know my pain.
Can anyone hear me? Can anyone hear me? 

BEING ALIVE
 
Feeling something within you,
Ancient and ageless, a will to survive.
Feeling something inside you,
Buzzing and booming, being alive.

Sun! Light up her day.
Shine on her face, burning with dreams on fire!
Moon! Light up her night.
Shine on her path, guiding her home again

Shine on me; gleam on me, sheen on me!
Light up my day
What a sight, sacred light, burning bright!
Shine on my face!
Touching me; warming me; scorching me;
Burning with dreams on fire!

In the sky, fill my eye, flying by.
Light up my night,
What a sight, mirrored light, shining bright. 
Shine on my path.
Pilot me; usher me; channel me!
Guiding me home again.

BE NOT AFRAID
 
When in the night your demons 
Sing in your ear a terrible song,
That is the moment you must remember 
Just who you are and where you belong.

Be not afraid, you are brave, 
You are a force resilient.

Be not afraid, you are not alone. 
Be not afraid, you are brave; 
You are the hope; you are the dream; 
You are all possible humanity.

Wherever you roam, I’ll be there with you.

No matter how long the road may be. 
Wherever you wander, so me too.

I’ll be there, walking right beside you, and whispering…
 
Be not fearful, be not alarmed, be not worried or vexed.

Let your song be heard now,   speak up free and wild,
For you are Humanity’s Child!

Be not afraid, you are brave, 
You are a force resilient.

Be not afraid, you are not alone. 
Be not afraid, you are brave; 
You are the hope; you are the dream; 
You are all possible humanity

When in the night your Demons 
Sing in your ear a terrible song.
That is the moment you must remember 
You’re not alone so you need not be afraid.

WHO WILL BE?
 
Who will be there with me?
Who will be my faithful companions and trusted allies?
Who will know where I go?
Who will know me when I get somewhere where no one knows me?

See me, my hands are shaking, my fear is alive.
Hold me, my heart is breaking inside.
Hear me, my voice is quaking, but who’ll hear my cry?
Know me; I need a teacher to guide me.

Who will be there for me?
Who will greet me there at the station, where no one’s waiting?
Who will see that’s it me?
Who will meet me when I get somewhere where no one knows me?
 
See me, my hands are shaking, my fear is alive.
Hold me, my heart is breaking inside.
Hear me, my voice is quaking, but who’ll hear my cry?
Know me; I need a teacher to guide me.

Who will be there with me?
Who will be my faithful companions and trusted allies?
Who will know where I go?
Who will know me when I get somewhere where no one knows me?

Who will be there for me?
Who will be someone to carry me?
Who will be there for me?
Who will be someone to care for me?

TRUST ME
 
Trust me, you can trust me, 
I will always stand by you.
Hear me, now you’re near me, 
I am your friend, true and blue.

Trust me; if you’ll trust me, 
I will guide you through the night.
Trust me; if you’ll trust me, 
I will stay with you and carry you upward.

Come now, walk with me;
there will be magic and miracles waiting.
Come now talk to me 
Of your sorrows and your joys.
 
You may stumble and fall on your journey,
But know that there’s gold at the end of the rainbow.
You may doubt that your heart is worthy;
Still it beats with a constant fury.
 
Hear now, destiny calls you, 
benign and protecting with the power of love.
See now, rising before you, 
Beautiful visons of love.

Trust you, shall I trust you?
Will you always stand by me?
Near you, I can hear you.
Are you truly here for me?
 
Trust you; if I trust you.
Will you guide me through the night?
Trust you; if I trust you.
Will you stay with me and carry me upward?

CROSSING OVER
 
Crossing over to a new world.
Crossing over the night.
Crossing over to the myst’ry.
Crossing over to The Light.

As you stand with your banners unfurled,
Are you strong, are you brave, are you ready for the fight?
And as you journey now into the womb of the world,
Be bold as you follow the light.

Crossing over to a new world.
Crossing over the night.
Crossing over to the myst’ry.
Crossing over to The Light.
 
Here within your dreams and your visions,
You are the hero, you are the champion, you are the savior.
You and only you are everything worthy; you are everything great!
You are the savior, you are the champion, you are the hero now.

In your world there will be many paths
Deep into the heart of a dark forest.
Follow not; they are for somebody else!
Look into your heart; there you may see into the scared mission.
 
Crossing over to a new world.
Crossing over the night.
Crossing over to the myst’ry.
Crossing over to The Light.

CARRY ON

Carry on with the vision, 
Carry on through the night. 
Carry on with the mission, 
Carry on to The Light.
 
See me, hear me, feel me, touch me. 
Watch me, tend me, bear me, mind me, 
Teach me, show me, move me, stir me, 
Raise me, boost me, build me, lift me up.
 
In a time of such sorrow.
In a world so full of pain and agony.
In a place where children cry out helplessly
And mothers wonder where their babies sleep.

Carry on with the vision, 
Carry on through the night. 
Carry on with the mission, 
Carry on to The Light.

See me, hear me, feel me, touch me. 
Watch me, tend me, bear me, mind me, 
Teach me, show me, move me, stir me, 
Raise me, boost me, build me, lift me up.
 
In a world of such beauty.
In a time so full of joy and revelry.
In a place where the children sing out happily 
And mothers watch as in their care they keep.

Carry on with the vision, 
Carry on through the night. 
Carry on with the mission, 
Carry on to The Light.

FOLLOW YOUR BLISS
 
Find a place in your sacred space, 
Where love’s embrace fills your life.
Find a space, in this time and place, 
Adorned by grace, for your strife.
 
See the light in the distance, how it glows!
Hear the cry of the children, how it grows.
Here now, deep in the shadows, stirring a feeling you cannot deny.
Hear now, Destiny calling, stirring the hero waiting inside.
 
Fly now on wings made of wisdom,
Be not afraid, you are brave and true.
Try through the challenge is fearsome,
You are alive; what a gift for you.
 
Follow your bliss, find your own way.
Doors will now open, don’t be afraid.
Follow your bliss, feeling alive.
Finding your meaning, you will survive.
 
See there, in the distance,
A vision forming before your eyes.
See now there all your beauty,
You are alive in this world, now arise!

Follow your bliss, find your own way.
Doors will now open, don’t be afraid.
Follow your bliss, feeling alive.
Finding your meaning, you will survive.

LE DANSE MACABRE / THE DANCE OF DEATH

Be advised, the Boogieman is real! 
Be aware, he’s coming in the night!
The Boogieman will spin you in a terrifying dance! 
Be alert, or you haven’t got a chance!
The Boogieman now waits for you to take his boney hand. 
Go on, take it now; it’s all his master plan!

Dance in the moon light, dance in the sun; 
dance ‘til your body is aching and done.
Dance like a demon alone in your shell; 
Dance like you’re churning and burning in Hell.

The time has come, the Boogieman is here! 
See his face, grinning in the night!
The Boogieman is waiting for you to speak his name! 
Say it now; you know his worldly fame!

The Boogieman is calling you to rise and make a fateful choice! 
Are you silent still, or will you raise your voice?

Dance in the moon light, dance in the sun; 
dance ‘til your body is aching and done.
Dance like a demon alone in your shell; 
Dance like you’re churning and burning in Hell.

LIKE THE PHOENIX
 
Here within the smoldering embers burns the pain and fire.
Here within my rage remembered still sting the tongues of ire.
Here I lie, my body burning; oh, how the pain consumes me.
Still I feel my mission is not completed; so I’ll say I will not be defeated.

Like the Phoenix I will rise up,

I will spread my wings ascending.
They may burn me, they may spurn be,

Like the Phoenix I’m unending.



See me, hear me, know me, trust me when I tell you
I’m not only one child; I am all the children crying out for justice.
So, I rise, my spirit burning; oh, how the fire now lifts me.
Still I feel my mission is not completed, so I’ll say I will not be defeated.
 
Like the Phoenix I will rise up, 
I will spread my wings ascending.
They may burn me, they may spurn be, 
Like the Phoenix I’m unending.

Like the Phoenix I will rise up, 
I will spread my wings ascending.
They may burn me, they may spurn be, 
Like the Phoenix I’m unending love.
