If I could Swim the Ocean Verse 1 If I could swim the ocean I would swim to your side Not a single motion, would be a waste of time And I won’t give in and I won’t give up, Cos there’s no pain greater than love Verse 2. If I could reach the heavens in my tiny balloon Why would I wait and linger, no I’d jump in like a fool And I won’t give in and I won’t give up Cos there’s not pain greater than love Chorus: And day always brings light I’m just gonna wait for the right time and Stars are always in night I’m just gonna wait till you are mine Verse 3. If I could reach your heart love, only seconds away, A blazing effulgence engulfs me this way And I won’t give in and I won’t give up Cos there’s not pain greater than love Verse 4. When I sing your name love, let it pierce my ears Every cry it is breaking the flood of my tears And I won’t give in like a turtle dove, Cos there’s not pain greater than love Chorus: And day always brings light I’m just gonna wait for the right time and Stars are always in night I’m just gonna wait till you are mine

My Little Isabel Intro: My whole world has Changed, completely re arranged When first I heard the beat, of her heart, so sweet Chorus: The sky’s so blue and her eyes so true And I would fly away, but with you I’ll stay My Little Isabel, my little Isabel, my little Isabel, my little Isabel Verse 1. After twelve long years, your mama broke with me You were just five months old, how could I leave? When dreams are broken and heart in threads It’s a rough road to mend, naturally But I love and you love me and together we are family When life’s like stormy brook, Holding hands with Baba will keep us safe, you’ll see Chorus: And the sky’s so blue and you’re eyes so true And I’d fly away, but with you, I’ll stay My little Isabel, my little Isabel, Repeats Bridge: When first I saw your face That little frown, big smile, no cry, just grace When first I held you near, that little body such love I can’t compare Verse 2. Bright as a lotus bud my darling Fierce as a mighty warrior You’ve seen so much, the joy and the pain The joy I hope, you’ll remember Wherever I go, you’ll be with me, You’ll fly with me like a feather Your loving song rings in my ears The twinkle in your eyes and your gentle laughter Chorus: The sky’s so blue and her eyes so true And I’d fly away, but with you I’ll stay My little Isabel, my little Isabel, Repeats Cos I love and you love me and together we are family Your loving song rings in my ears The twinkle in your eyes and your gentle laughter Wherever I go, you’ll be with me, You’ll fly with me like a feather Cos I love and you love me and together we are family, My little Isabel, my little Isabel

Under Her Spell For Isabel Verse 1. Don’t cry for me, don’t sigh for me Don’t sing me songs of love Cos I will send them back to you With ribbons and white doves The birds that sing, the moon and stars, Twinkling high above They all can see that I am with, The embodiment of love Chorus: Oh lord save me from myself I am about to fall in some deep, deep well Verse 2. And when I see her pretty smile, And her sparkling eyes, I know that she is coming from the other side Her wiggly toes, her button nose, bringing such delight, This bundle of joy has arrived, full of moonlight Chorus: Suddenly, I am not myself, Suddenly I’m under her spell , Oh lord save me from myself I am about to fall in some deep, deep well Verse 3. Come dance with me, and sing so sweet, Come play with fairies too And talk to the moon late at night She’s waiting there for you And may you grow in love and grace With people who really care Welcome to the world my little one Your presence is so dear Chorus: Suddenly I am not myself, Suddenly I’m under her spell Oh lord save me from myself I am about to fall in some deep, deep well The birds that sing, the moon and stars, twinkling high above They all can see that I am with, the embodiment of love

Whatever Happened to our Love Chorus: Whatever happened to our love Whatever happened to our dreams Where am I to go, where am I to go? Verse 1. Oh my love if only you knew What it is that makes me blue I would rather silence my voice in ashes And then I would harbour my tears In a current with no fears Than to truly ever have to mention it Chorus: Whatever happened to our love Whatever happened to our dreams Where am I to go, where am I to go? Verse 2. Have you ever seen a soul That’s just one big hole The sight of it would make you shiver Even if you closed your eyes (The) devastation would make you blind So then I just have to fake it Chorus: Whatever happened to our love? Whatever happened to our dreams? Where am I to go, where am I to go? Verse 3. Oh my love if I was you I would try to sing this tune Cos it will might open up that harbour And then all those tears would break, And the waters form a lake That will truly wash away deception Chorus: Whatever happened to our love? Whatever happened to our dreams? Where am I to go, where am I to go? Outro: Help me find a way to a holy place, Help me will find a way to grace... repeats

We are Not Alone or Helpless Verse: 1. Sing a song, make it clear Sing it loud, even shout I won’t wait, another day For this pain, to go away They’ve kept me down, way too long Time to rise and be strong The dawn comes with winds of change New horizons, seize the day! Chorus: I don’t accept anyone’s rejection Just because I, I seem different Like a rainbow, of brilliant colours Each reflection, its own perfection Verse 2:I see in your eyes, I see from your smile I’ve no need to fear, or to hide I know I am loved, by the divine It’s only natural, this love of mine After darkness, comes light With truth I shall fight This diversity, who can deny? Bridge: I am not alone, I am not alone or helpless The force that guides the stars, Sun and the moon, guides me too Chorus: We don’t accept anyone’s rejection Just because we seem different Equality for minorities None superior or inferior For our greatness, here and above, is measured by the radius of our love For our greatness, here and above, is measured by the radius of our love Bridge 2: We are not alone, We are not alone, or helpless The force that guides the stars, Sun and the moon, guides us too.

about

Unity Hours IV is the Fourth in the sequence of songs and kiirtans that are a musical diary of my life. The name inspired by the Books of Hours (14th Century), written as meditations on different topics for lay people. Music is a way of connecting to the heart, ones deepest inner self. My deep gratitude goes to all those who have given their support and love in this album.

Reviews: "I want to express to you how deeply touched I am by your album, sincerely I think its the best album you ever made. It’s so touching, I don’t have the words in English to express how I experience it. It us deep, vulnerable, and yet strong, transformational and spiritual and devotional. Thanks you for this masterpiece. I listen to it again and again" (Gunatiita, Sweden, Sept 2022).

"I have been listening to Jyoshna’s album Unity Hours IV album on repeat for two weeks.. The album deals with universal themes, love, longing and diversity.. I love the uilleann pipes, the harp, the piano and many other instruments give the album a Celtic world music vibe.. Key highlights are “If I could swim the ocean” its really beautiful, with its highly visual imagery adding to that sense of longing, every word, every chord has a place. Its just an absolute masterpiece, its so, so, so beautiful. ‘My Little Isabel’ deeply moved by it, its incredibly raw and very courageous, hugely personal. ‘We are Not alone’ looks at diversity. Overall I Iove the album, its very moving and beautifully enchanting, Jyoshna, and all the team, your best album yet".. .Jack Mac Carthy (Jiivan, Ireland)
