I see my dreams, in your eyes I feel, like a honey bee, you swarm in me I see my dreams, in your eyes I feel, like a honey bee, you swarm in me The stars and nebulae The stars and nebulae, glittering in the sky Celestial bodies light, up the darkest night They shine from satellites, galaxies meteorites And though reflected light, they touch my heart, excite The force that guides the stars, behind the sun and mars Its guiding you me too, down every avenue I want to look ahead, not behind instead My life’s in front of me and I will run to see, You Ah hoo, aha.. Baba nam kevalam, Baba nam kevalam, Baba nam kevalam Baba nam kevalam, Baba nam kevalam, Baba nam kevalam

2. Come away with me Music and lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe Like the golden winds, burning through black sands scattering all my fears, far across the land Wont you come away, come away with me Wont you come away, come away with me Silver under moon, Silvery light, crescent in black sky, Taken by surprise, taken by surprise, never let me go Taken by surprise, never let me go Puffy lulling clouds, making her designs Fiery sunset blaze, burning my eyes I will never stray, never stray from your side I will never stray, never stray from your side No good fighting waves, currents they will play No good fighting kites wind will have its way Watch the seasons grow, watch them flow away Come away come away with me. Oh.. No good fighting waves, currents they will play No good fighting kites wind will have its way Watch the seasons grow, watch them flow away Come away come away with me

3. The Lightening in me Music and lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe It’s the lightening inside of me The quiet in your being That keeps me on the make And saves me from breaking When the waters are in love They’ll lift us high above So we can catch the wave Don’t wait another day The slither of the moon Through tree branches illuminate my mind, With colours that will never blind The bird through windows flies, Dives down from the sky But I just watch the plane that drives in one straight line All I really, really want is You You’re the one I really want to hold to Come on light my mind, so I can feel your kindness Come on touch my soul, you know you make me feel whole Come on bring me near, your love makes me sincere Come on take my heart so we never are apart I’ve desired many things, my life has been a spring That bounced from love to pain, from further and back again The coin it has two sides, I flip it to decide Then surrender everything, and wait for what you bring All I really, really want is You You’re the one I really want to hold to If I bake a birthday cake, I see that that it’s not fake If I give things to the poor, then surely that’s not all If I say that I love you, may it always be true If I give You my all, then I’ve nothing more to lose Ohh, All I want, all I really, really want) All I really, really want is You You’re the one I really want to hold to

To Watch the Sky Smiling 04:39

4. To watch the sky smiling To watch the sky smiling On this lone but not lonely soul To give thanks for such peace so hard to find So little time these days to enjoy, so little time we have to enjoy I pray that I will always be, free, Free to think, to feel, to speak and to love To watch the sky, to watch the sky smiling I want to travel, as far as I can go I want to reach the joy, that’s in my soul And change the limitations I know And feel my mind and spirit grow I want to live, exist, ‘to be’ and hear the truths inside me To watch the sky, to watch the sky smiling, smiling. To watch the sky smiling on this lone, but not lonely soul To give thanks for such peace, so hard to find, so little time. To watch the sky, to watch the sky, to watch sky smiling

6. For Poppy Music and Lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe I see you and you see me It’s a funny kind of family I know you and you know me And what else could there ever be? And what have I done now? Did I leave the switches on? And the water drops ? Did I burn the pot? And she takes it with a smile I must surely drive her wild, But she takes it with a smile I see you and you see me It’s a funny kind of family I know you and you know me And what else could there ever be? What have I done now?, Did I the lids left undone Are the room lights on and the hedgehogs gone And she takes it with a smile I must surely drive her wild, But she takes it with a smile Let the music ring, Ring right through the house, Let it fill us with love Let the songs we sing Sing in harmony Let them fill us with love Let them fill us with love, love I see you and you see me It’s an original family I know you and you know me What else could there ever be What has she done now? Did she fix the lock Wipe away the drops Throw away the pot? What has she done now Screw the lids back on Turn the room lights off and find hedgehog? And I take it with a smile She most surely drives me wild But I take it with a smile

Lift Her Higher 04:08

7. Lift her higher Music and Lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe Cold days turn into winter nights When the loves she confessed, makes her turn to fight She holds her so deeply though broken inside But she must lift her up, lift her up to the light Lift her higher, to the light, to the sky And she will lift her, lift her higher, to the light, to the skies Ohh, ooh Coming from earth and coming from fire, Coming from passion and pure desire She can’t bear a moment away from her sight But she must say goodbye and lift her to the light Though silence can’t be broken, it is with her sighs Her lips they do tremble at each other cries But love is unbound to any earthly plane Love it surrounds her and lifts her again Lift her higher, to the light, to the skies And she will lift her, lift her higher, to the light, to the skies Lift her higher, to the light, to the skies

8.Tãmaki Makaurau Music and Lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe Write a list of all the places I’ve been Tell a story about all the people I’ve seen Different lines and different hues All come together when I’m with you If you could take me to a perfect paradise Or if you could send me to the moon I don’t mind But if you ask me, just where my home is? I’ll say, Home is in, home is in, home is in my heart Home is me, home is in you, Home is in our hearts, Tãmaki Makarau, land of a thousand lovers Stretched from the Kaipara to the Manukau Its an isthmus of diversity, But when I’m with you, I feel such unity We all come from our communities Everyone with their securities But now we’ve spread across land and seas Like birds of a feather we are one and free

Wonderful oh so Wonderful Music and Lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe Wonderful, oh so wonderful, Like the ocean You’re my harbour, So mysterious and delightful You’re my shelter, you’re my home The birds they perch beneath the leaves They shelter from winters freeze So my love, for you I bear Every moment on this earth I share With you and your love for every being Animals, plant and every earthly thing The winter frost breaks the tender stems You feel for all in sun and blazing fall You are my shelter, you are my shelter, you are so wonderful The people run in fear Who will hold them, hold them near? Who will bring peace oh my dear? To those who’re suffering, who really cares? Let the storms come I’ll not run I’ll take you in my arms, cos in you we’re not alone You’re my lover, and my own You are my shelter, you are my shelter, you are so wonderful! Wonderful, oh so wonderful, like the ocean You’re my harbour, so mysterious and delightful You’re my shelter, you’re my home.

Nothing makes me Blue Music and Lyrics: Jyoshna La Trobe Dare I say, I’ll sink another day You won’t say my name, there’s nothing I can do In my pain, moments drift away, Forgive me my mistakes And when I’m alone, people around have scorned me, what can I do? Hold onto you, lay down my face, down to Your grace Ah.. Bring me to my tears, break past all my fears People have all gone, Take me home, where I belong Nothing makes me blue Lay down my face, down to my face, Down to your grace, nothing makes me blue Say my name, say name, say my name, I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting For my release Say your name, say your name, say your name, You’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting For your release
