Legacy - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
Open the morning
The sun is arising
Orange and yellow in the sky
As the moon goes fading into white
Knowing it’s all a letting go
Only my soul I will keep
But the morning is a glow
With the legacy
The lasting legacy
Old woman turns to me
She says this is time
I’ve tried holding my memories
But like a little bird they fly
It’s all coming full circle now i see
That love will be the only lasting legacy
The legacy
The lasting legacy
Not this body
Not this mind
Not this voice
Not this heartbeat
Not this skin
Not this sight
Not this blood running through the veins
I’m thinking about the snow
As I sit by the sea
Could it be an entire universe
Lives inside of you and me
But will you take me as I am
Full of stories of things unplanned
It’s all coming full circle now I see
That love will be the only lasting legacy
The legacy
The lasting legacy

I Awake

I Awake - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
I awake
Entering the sea
Her beauty explodes my heart into inifinite pieces
She carries all of me
Stories in lines and scars
Doesn't ask me how
'Cause she knows
I am lifted
I am small
Reverent to the mystery of it all
Too long have I waited
Too long have I waited
To see
I see the curves in her swells connected in my woman
Moving tides
We are kindreds with the moon
I am lifted
I am small
Reverent to the mystery of it all
Too long have I waited
Too long have I waited
To see
On her waves
White light dances
Warmth on down from a distant sun
Kissing my shoulders
Lights a way to the world beneath
I am lifted
I am small
Reverent to the mystery of it all
Too long have I waited
Too long have I waited
To see

Spirit Child

Spirit Child - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
And so I go
Into the night
Where it’s quiet now
No need to hide
And you’ll be there
By the river
And you’ll be there
In the dark
But I don’t understand the language that you speak
Spirit child
If only I had
Wings to fly
If only I had wings
Spirit child
Oh Oh
Sometimes I feel like a shadow
Fallen down
Then the wind will catch my spirit
And clown around
It throws me back my smile
And holds me near
Shows me all we have is now
All we have is here
But I don’t understand the language that you speak
Spirit child
If only I had
Wings to fly
If only I had wings
Spirit child
Oh Oh
But I don’t understand the language that you speak
Spirit child
If only I had
Wings to fly
If only I had wings
Spirit child

Here Is The Rhythm - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
Here is the rhythm
It's humming all around
A pattern in the stars
The whirls on your fingertips
Take that rhythm
It's yours it's mine it's everyone's
Let it lighten your feet
And comfort your weariness
Now don't go overthinking it
'Cause it's as simple as the pulse inside of your heart
Wo yeah wo wo yeah wo wo yeah
Never beginning or ending always this way
Wo yeah wo wo yeah wo wo yeah
Never born never dies
Always remains
Here is the Rhythm
It's humming all around
In a symmetry of motion
Breathing in and breathing out
Take that rhythm
It's yours it's mine it's everyone's
Let it lighten your feet
And comfort your weariness
Now don't go overthinking it
'Cause it's as simple as the pulse inside of your heart
'Cause it's as simple as the pulse inside of your heart
Wo yeah wo wo yeah wo wo yeah
Never beginning or ending always this way
Wo yeah wo wo yeah wo wo yeah
Never born never dies
Always remains

Do You Hear Me - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
When I was a child
And I felt fear
I saw the monsters
In the dark
I’d draw a sphere around my heart
To banish the darkness
And let courage bloom
I’d sing
Any melody would do
Any semblance of a tune
To keep me safe
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me
Do you hear me now
Do you
And now that I’m a woman
When I’m walking in the dark
I draw a sphere around my heart
To banish the doubt
And let courage bloom
I sing
Any melody will do
Any semblance of a tune
To keep me safe
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me
Do you hear me now
Do you
If I were a soldier
And I was walking into to war
And if I were a sailor
Faced with a vast and endless sea
I’d sing
Any melody would do
Any semblance of a tune
To keep me safe
Yeah I’d sing
Any melody would do
Any semblance of a tune
To keep me safe
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me
Do you hear me now
Do you
Do you hear me now
Do you hear me
Do you hear me now
Do you

Waiting For You

Waiting For you - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
She placed a ring of white flowers
On his tomb
And the years they passed
Like one windy day
Inside a swoon
She said do you remember what it was like
To walk this earth
To look up at the stars
To quench your thirst
I have cried a river for you
I have cried an entire ocean
Why am I still waiting for the past to change
Why am I still waiting for you
Waiting for you x 3
Waiting
All shining hopeful then
They called you out to war
But now picking up the pieces
I wonder
What it was all for
Now your tomb is in a line
With all the others
All laden in a row
I’ll bring you roses on your birthday
But I cannot kiss a stone
I have cried a river for you
I have cried an entire ocean
Why am I still waiting for the past to change
Why am I still waiting for you
Waiting for you x3
Waiting
Do you remember what it was like
To hold each other close
And time it stopped still you know
Time me it stopped still
Waiting for you x3
Waiting

One By One - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
Unpacking your kisses
One by one
One by one
I hold them to my body
One by one
One by one
For the roses tomorrow they’ll be falling
One by one
One by one
And the soldiers
Tomorrow they'll be marching
One by one
One by one
And in my solitude
I'll dream of this
And when the world is mad
My anchor will be
Unpacking your kisses
One by one
One by one
I’ll hold them to my body
One by one
One by one
For roses tomorrow they’ll be falling
One by one
One by one
And the soldiers
Tomorrow they’ll be marching
One by one
One by one
And in my solitude
I'll dream of this
And when the world is mad
My anchor it will be

Falling

Another road again
Now you’re leaving my dear friend
Sometimes it’s hard to make sense of it all
Sometimes you’re crushed and then you fall
Then I look up and see the heavens
See that we’re floating in space
See a full moon arising and I know that
There’s so much more
I know that we are all stars
That we are all miracles
We are all stars
Falling back into the infinite indivisible
Like you said
I only need to look up
Yeah you said
I only need to look up
We’re falling
We’re falling
I think of all that is between you and me
A glowing moon
The tide and a roaring sea
So when I need to remember who we are
Falling - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
Above the concrete and the clouds that separate us
From the stars
From the stars
Like you said
I only need to look up
Yeah you said
I only need to look up
To know that we are all stars
That we are all miracles
We are all stars
Falling back into the infinite indivisible
We’re falling
Falling

Phoenix
04:05
|

Emerging from the ashes
From the suns fire heart
With a spirit that cannot be broken
And a song that will be sung
The phoenix flies again
Higher
The phoenix flies again
Higher
Reclaimed from the wreckage
From the embers of the fire
With feathers of bold colours
That blaze across the sky
The phoenix flies again
Higher
The phoenix flies again
Higher
So when you’re walking troubled roads
Hope as thin as paper wings
Know that above the clouds
Though you can’t see it
Though you can’t see it
There’s a way over
Above the street lights
Above the telephone poles
Above the shadows of cities tall
Always in wonder
Always in wonder
The phoenix flies again
Higher
The phoenix flies again
Higher
So when you’re walking troubled roads
Hope as thin as paper wingsKnow that above the clouds
Though you can’t see it
Though you can’t see it
There’s a way over
The phoenix flies again
Higher
The phoenix flies again
Higher
Higher x4

Just For A Moment - Song and Lyrics by Miriam Lieberman
Here I go
Falling in love again
I know I’ve been here before
But if I don’t keep my heart open
How will I ever know
The ground is gone
From beneath my feet
But I feel your radiance
Holding me
And just for a moment
I let it be
I let it be
Can’t bare to hear the news again
I know we’ve been here before
We open up the same wounds again and again
All this hatred what is it for
But then I see
The colours of the day
And I refuse to see the whole world in that way
And just for a moment in the not knowing I wait
And let it be
I let it be
Let us not be ruled by fear
Let us not be ruled by hate
Let us not be bought or sold
Let’s not believe it is too late
The ground is gone
From beneath my feet
But I feel your radiance
Holding me
So just for a moment
In the not knowing I wait
And let it be
I let it be
