Dave Tate & Victoria Lagerström

Lyrics:

All that I want is to be that I am

The sea and sand are laid

Live in the morning dew,

Melt in the tide,

Where heart and mind are made

The pleasant dream is still a dream of its kind

It looks behind to save

And all the struggle between man and his mind

Are of the same embrace

What it costs in the game of this

Gain and loss,

And striving

Now I’m off to the end of this

Self so strong…

But dying

When all reaching is gone

Night turns into dawn

I could awake now

To the muse of this song

Who is left but the soul?

The dry desert wind in me blows

I must make this journey –

To finally come home

What it costs in the game of this

Gain and loss,

And striving

Now I’m off to the end of this

Self so strong…

But dying

Lyrics:

Fourth of July

Spinning my wheels

Catching my eye

Let it come from beneath the pain

I never knew you would show me that

But in the moment, sung by the night

I never walked across a thinner bridge

Without the aid of my eyes

And without the fear of falling

Cause I fell for you

And I would fall again

I’ll let you go and be at peace with myself

Cause it’s all that I can do about it baby

When we were dancing in the heat of the night

You showed me something beautiful

I won’t forget

So let it flow in you, walk with you

Break new ground there’s fire in you still

We’ve got a chance to become more than ourselves

But I’m putting it in your hands now child

I was a pauper in my mind

And then I looked

Walking you home

You asked what I saw in you

It’s more than I know

I just went where the river moves

I never knew you were soft like that

I didn’t think and you let me in

If it’s one night than, let it be that

But I let you under my skin

And I would fall again

I’ll let you go and be at peace with myself

Cause it’s all that I can do about it baby

When we were dancing in the heat of the night

You showed me something beautiful

I won’t forget

So let it flow in you, walk with you

Break new ground there’s fire in you still

I’ve got a chance to be at home in my self

So I’m putting it in your hands now life

I climbed up high upon the ledge…

 And than I jumped ~

Align ~

Yeah we’re more than this

Step back and feel your life embellished

Yes I’ll go with this –

I’m given all I need to relish

In truth my beloved

Lyrics:

What will you say when I go

Some things will fade, some will grow

I took my time, but than time was taking me

Had to leave you behind

And set myself free

I fall to you

Courage it takes to the road

She told me, “pack up your bags boy and go”

If I had to choose between you

You know just what I’d do

Cause in my mind your arms still hold me

And I fall to you

I fall to you

If there’s a chance we have it now

Than there’s a chance we’ll have it then

When the winding of my road

Brings me close to you again

All that I know is there’s a purpose

Much larger than the pain

I fall to you

Lyrics:

One across the sea

Beneath the mountain

Where my dreams were taking seed

The silent vision that we hold

The meeting of two roads

Windy waters high

That I must cross

before our stars will be aligned

beneath the tapestry we sew

finally coming home

I’m guided through this fog

Divine – unknowing what you are

Weaver of the dream

Leading the lost into a world of simple being

Let dragons fierce be free to roam

Together, but alone

I’m guided through this fog

Divine unfolding of your heart

Lyrics:

Come sooth me

Sweet dream

See through me

As the veil lifts

I was young and full of hope

Warm wind among the treetops…

Come one to the call of ages

Come one it’s all I need to see

Return to the place where you are from

Come hear the end beginning

Come be the tree within the seed

Embrace this ever winding road

Come find the part you’re missing

Come wake the dreamer from the dream

Come free of patterns you would hold

From ancient caverns I went

In search of what would set me free…

But found the answer ~ long ago

I’m open now

Come – open now

Time opens

I’m open now

Lyrics:

Sun falling

It leads my dreams

The calling to be free

I love you

Like fire needs air to breath

This flame is fading…

Ectstecy

Eye of the storm and rain around my door

It keeps me wet and wanting more

Their fury is mighty, bring me back and grace me

Unveil your sweet breath ~

A year of silence broken by this note

The sigh of reveling in every word we wrote

Becomes a part of me

As a world I live inside when I’m alone

Begin the heart of me

To roll in width virgo

Has heaven sung so sweet

Let go of what I hold

And as these boundaries

Make way for something new inside

To grow

I’m the servant of the song

All you need is love to let it come through

Life and tenderness live on with a will unspoken

Rain unbroken ~

Dawn

Sun falling

It leads my dreams 

Lyrics:

Will I ever see you smile with such abandon

Will I ever turn and walk into those depths

Yes the wind has taken me

From this haunting memory

To the sweet seducing pull

Of love once kept

In the dawning of a life

Where I have only just arrived

In the falling of a fear that I once knew

And I had to let you go

With the secret of the soul

In the turning of what’s real

Right back to you

“I’ll walk with you

I’ll show you the way

I’ll cherish you

As the night loves the day”

I’m not alone

And I never ever was

Cause we all are one

In the stillness

All voices cry

May a new world now arise

Fly from the depths

Of your

Darkness

Lyrics:

Rainy days I left

Come shine on me

And open up my door

There’s a consequence and I knew it

With my mind in that dark room

You save me

Angel

Out here

Where the wind makes no sound but the calling of your name

Fortunes fool

Jumping off your cliff again

I was young and whole when my world began to shatter

The crack undoes the egg

Living the mystery

Alone in this I travel

Let it take me to you

Grace

Out here

Where the wind makes no sound but the calling of your name

Fortunes fool

Jumping off your cliff again

You soothe me

And bring me to my senses

Smoothly

And soften my defenses

When I’m lonely child

Lyrics:

There are times when I’m sold

On the story they’ve told

So little light to guide me

through grey skies that moan

so now I’m reaching out for someone

to tell me

you’re good as you are

So damn tired

Of trying to reach for that star

So I look inside and I yearn

Lost in the way that I thought we would burn

But now I’m just sitting here

Stranded in a blanket of rain

Will it ever be

That good again ~

There are times when I hold on

So tight to it all

And times when I turn my back and run

Yeah but all that means nothing

When she comes to call

And all my masks fall

If there is one thing I’ve learned

From the journey we’ve made

It’s that I can’t put my fate in

One other place

But to the path I’ve been given

And the will to create

The man I wanna be

So I look inside and I yearn

Lost in the way that I thought we would burn

But now I’m just sitting here

Stranded in a blanket of rain

Will it ever be

That good again?

Lyrics:

I’ve been so restless

With my head in a cloud

The hands of angels

Carrying me out

I’ve walked through firing

Of my own self doubt

I sought the answer

Everywhere without

These were old footsteps

When the line was crossed

And the heavy chains

Were lost

The last breath is so long

One can’t let

And hold on

Change is coming

In my resistance

Falling to your knees

These hands were made for

Greater things than me

So don’t be believing

In the stories that you tell

I am waiting for your glory

To open up my sail

I was turned and tossed

On the open sea

Till my grip was lost

And eyes made to see

The last breath is so long

One can’t let

And hold on

Change is coming

The last breath is so long

One can’t let

so hold on

Change is coming

Lyrics:

 Somewhere beyond the stars

We all exist in art

And we have come this far

But long to go …

There in the distance lies

Clearness in cloudy eyes

We fall, dissolve as night

Into gold

I love to sing and let it go

Music to soothe the soul

You can’t loose it

It’s part of you

You know

As we’re turning out

The world we live in breaks

And crashes down

And the one real voice in every soul

Gives itself unto the only road

This voice is one note of the whole

In this Music to soothe the soul

You can’t loose it

It’s part of you

You know

Cry out

Our life is Living Now

Lyrics:

How I like to be

By the sea

Alone

And how she comforts me

To release what I hold

On a sea without a shore

Sail on dear friend

Carried by the wind

Of your heart

Storm and storm again

Crashes down and in

But always follows

Calm

And the moon is growing dim

Pulling at the sands

 with a soothing hand

Hear the message sent

And the dream will end

That I could know you

So we will leave the sad and lonely shell

To play in freedom, truly this is home

And when the clock

Ticks it’s final tock

We will know

The silence of our soul
