KoH A very beautiful album. The previous releases by Theda Phoenix were rather new agey, not my cup of tea. This one, however, is beautifully crafted songwriting. And a great voice. Favorite track: All At Once.

All At Once 04:07
Barefoot, your hand in mine, We walked to the ocean side Dipped our toes in that start sea, The waters warm you said to me Let’s give it a try, take the dive, I will be right by your side Chorus All at once you jumped right in Headed out to the deep end All at once you jumped right in Didn’t know if you would sink or swim Verse I stood by the shore for while, Watching you swim out in the tide Felt the water grow warm under my feet, And then I walked out into the deep I swam towards your silhouette, I was no longer afraid to get wet Chorus All at once “I” jumped right in Headed out to the deep end All at once I jumped right in Didn’t care if I would sink or swim Verse When I reached you I had to rest, I threw my arms around your chest Sinking down we couldn’t breathe, You pushed me away had to break free I didn’t know I was holding you down, You were afraid we both would drown Chorus All at once “We” jumped right in Headed out to the deep end All at once “We” jumped right in Didn’t know if we would sink or swim Verse If I let go and we swim to shore, maybe we’ll find our footing once more But you said to me, I am much too tired, I must get out of these waters for a while And I don’t know if, I’ll come back in, I don’t think I was meant to swim Bridge Aren't all of us meant to swim Aren't all of us meant to swim Oooh, I want to swim Part Chorus All at once you jumped right in Headed out to the deep end

Butterfly 04:21
We are children, in this universe, when we allow our innocence to lead Chasing butterflies across the sky, dancing through the fields Caterpillars inching up the tree such steady contemplation he holds a secret deep inside, It’s the truth of transformation Chorus There you are, running through the fields Soaring with the wind, Gliding on the breeze You, you are free When the time is right, The caterpillar weaves itself in a cocoon We cannot rush the process, don’t want to break her out too soon Nature has a plan, diving timing is at hand For after, the struggle you will see, that butterfly, flying free Chorus We are just the same As that caterpillar, In this human game We may look like any ordinary one, but don’t be fooled, we are all children of the sun, waiting, til the time is right, to spread our wings, break free and take flight. Chorus We feel the love, for it is what we are all made up of So let the light break through, as one by one, we awaken to the truth We are, we are, One Chorus

Feels Good 05:19
We all come here thru a process of birth, it’s natures way to get to be a human on earth. We all have a body, needs the same things to live And this abundant world has so much to give. A multitude of plants, bare edible fruit, we even eat leaves, seeds, stalks and roots. Just one tiny seed can grow into a tree to produce bunches of apples for us all to eat. So if we wanna reclaim paradise on earth, we gottta teach our children right from birth, that real food is grown from the soil of the earth, not found on the shelf depleted of it’s worth. The real super market can be our backyard, just sprinkle seeds in the dirt it isn’t very hard. Add a little sun, add a little rain, let nature do it’s thing, so easy to maintain! CHORUS Follow your path, your truth your bliss, For the more you focus on it, the stronger it exists. Release, your hold, Let your breath fill your soul Trust the truth that your body knows, If it feels good, x3 It’s probably IS But make sure that your seeds are genetically true Cause if they’re GMO they may be bread to kill And terminate their very own reproductive genes Wake up people do we know what this means? It means farmers can no longer save seeds to sow For the next years harvest, no crops to grow The fields will be barren unless we can afford To pay money for seeds to the seedlords? You think This may be okay, it's the North America way But developing countries can’t afford to pay Our land is being stolen, raped of water and oil, Usurped by Big agro, while the people are forced to toil Nature intended Food to be free, That’s why it grows in the earth and on the trees, It ain’t only humans that need to eat Takes every living creature to make the chain complete CHORUS But I can’t survive on food alone, you see my heart and soul needs to be known. My spirit wants to live with joy, feeling safe, alive and full of love for the human race. we are all born, we will all die, so while we here at least let’s open our eyes cause people everywhere are yearning to break free, starving for the truth cause we’re beginning to see. We’re tired of bullshit, propaganda and games. Our survival depends on our co-habitating, We gotta look past the color of our skin Cause we all live together in this eco-system We are free by our very breath, our spirit is unbound and limitless I don’t care what you call your spiritual source, We were all created equal by the same loving force We breathe the same air, under the same sky Drink of the same rains, running down the mountain side Warmed by the same sun, we share the same fears All bleed red blood and cry salty tears we are all born, we will all die, WE are all sharing in this miracle , this miracle of life CHORUS

Light in You 03:17
I know your scared, to be yourself sometimes. This world can be, so blind but if you take the chance to trust, start to open up you just might find, you are loved Chorus I see the light in you Shining with everything you do Don’t try to hide it no more Can you hear it, knockin at your door Show me what you really want Tell me what you really need Reveal all you feel, You will be received You, don’t have to hide away, All the things you really want to say There are others who have felt this way Your not alone, I feel your pain Chorus Bridge: Sometimes its dark and cold Sometimes you're feelin all alone Sometimes we don't know where to go Everybody needs... to belong Chorus
6.
Your fingertips, smooth and swift, Gentle as wind, flowing over my skin Your hands, feather soft too touch Your lips, that kiss me so much Chorus Your arms, hold me closely Your heart seems to know me This is the first time, I’ve ever known love, like this Your smile, fills me with delight Bright as the sun chasing way the night Your mouth, whispers words so kindly Your eyes, see right in to me Chorus your breath, peaceful and calm lulls me to sleep like a gentle song your chest, where I rest my face and relax into your loving embrace Chorus

I met him in the woods of Oregon His family moved there to avoid a war Spent most of his youth livin outdoors Never had a TV or went to a big Box store All his mother really wanted was to raise a good man Unaffected by the mainstream, custodian of the land Helped his father farm the fields, grew medicinal plants Made all of his clothing from the earth, with is hands Chorus And you taught me, how to be free To see all the creatures in this universe as me How to fight for what is right with peace Till the day all beings are free When the boy was 12 his father fell ill Was planted in the earth at the top of the hill Never have any money, no use for a will So mother and son went to the city to live She found work in a café, while he wet to school Out on the playground, he didn’t know the rules Had no popular toys and wore the wrong shoes But he just smiled and said I dodn’t need, to be like you Chorus Then one day the trucks came, to clear the land He said to his mother, “it’s time to take a stand, This earth is our body, the trees our breath If the forests endangered, I won’t rest” So he got some folks together, climbed up the trees Said if they kill her, they’ll have to kill me Media gathered, the corporates backed down Now the trees in that forest can still be found Chorus

Simply 04:23
I must have asked for this That night when I cast my wish Upon the stars, into the dark I was longing to be kissed Yearning for a taste of a lovers warm embrace Where friendship and trust are shared face to face Where I am held inside safe and loving arms Where I can rest in the presence of the heart Where I lay naked with the truth Simply being me, simply loving C When you, yes you did quietly appear And lay down by my side in the morning light We begin to touch, our fingers intertwine My heart, is blown apart, when your lips gently meet mine And I am held in the safety of your arms Where I can rest in the presence of your heart Where we lay naked with the truth Simply being me, simply loving you C You, yes you, receive all of me And I, let myself cry, when I look into your smiling eyes I know, it’s safe to show and let my feelings grow This, is such a gift and I want you to know That you are held in the safety of my arms And you can rest in the presence of my heart Where we lay naked with the truth Simply being me, simply loving you C Simply being me, simply loving you C Simply being me, simply loving you C

Legacy 05:20
With songs of freedom, songs of love, Songs that inspired us all to rise up! make the changes in this world, answering the call! To protect this beautiful planet and the dignity of all We regained our liberty, As a people, self governing we choose to live in harmony Working together, thriving and free The face of the world has really changed Liberated from fear and shame we have reclaimed our god given right To clean water, clean air, food and Life! Chorus The light shone from the eyes of love Your voice touches the hearts of all inspiring the courage freedom to act, Freedom to choose dream and dance, to do what’s right, take a chance on life We've returned to growing food by hand harvest the crops and care for the land respect the animals and the trees and all our human family We are connected like the grasses roots friends with our neighbours, we speak the truth We bater and share locally with usury-free currency, We cherish the earth, have abolished all toxins Our oceans are clean and the whales and salmon rocking Together humanity has planted the seed that has given rebirth, to a world of peace Chorus This life has been a journey, to remember how, to take the reins of reality harness the power of NOW To awaken to the centre awaken to the dream we are the source creating it all in the greatest game in the universe Chorus There’s nothing to fear and there never was Cause all that we are truly is love

Sing With Me 04:16
Dance with me, to the rhythm in our feet dance with me to the pulsing of our heart beats dance with me, as the waves come rolling in For This is the moment the dance of love begins. Chorus: Sing with me, let your voice fly from your heart as you open your love wide. sing with me, of all your truth and mystery Sing the song that lets your spirit belong Climb with me.. up this mountain side. All we need is to take one step at a time Climb with me.. soon we will be on top of the world where the sky meets the trees and we’ll see.. such beauty Chorus Stand with me on the solid earth Stand with me, we’ll dig our feet into the dirt. And plant the seeds of love and watch them grow Stand with me, as the river of life unfolds G A Bridge: rise with me, from the depths of emotion rise with me to the heights of devotion Rise with me where we are free Rise with me into eternity Chorus

On The Water 04:00
Rowboat on the water, drifting gently on the tide Wind blows across the waves, as the Islands drift on by I look up to the skies above, watch the eagles fly so high Sunlight shines through the clouds, painting sunbeams in the sky Chorus I am free, on the water, drifting in my little boat All my cares fade away, I hope I always stay afloat I am free, on the water, drifting in my little boat All my cares fade away, I hope it always stays… this way Raven calls from a Cedar pearch, overlooking the land Racoons comb the beach, sifting through the sand for crab A pod of whales swim from the East, dolphins leap through the air A seal dives for a mouthful of fish, the school scatters, everywhere Chorus
12.
Billy's Bay 04:24
It’s a quiet day, In Billy’s Bay The only sounds that can be heard, Are the buzzing of bees and the songs of the birds. Call of the ravens forward and back And the rustle of wind as it blows through the grass It’s a quiet day, In Billy’s Bay Dozens of daisies sway in the breeze, A Blue heron stands on the shore by the sea Humming birds hover by the window to feed, Crab Apples fall from the lazy trees It’s a quiet day, In Billy’s Bay The Chickens cluck and lay their eggs, Vultures circle overhead all day A family of dear wander the yard and graze Listen to the dock rocking under the waves It’s a quiet day, In Billy’s Bay It’s a quiet day in Billys Bay, 3 little gold fish swim in the pond with zillions of flies, tadpols and frogs Billy goes out on the Ocean at Dawn While Goldie keeps watch from her place on the lawn It’s a quiet day, In Bily’s Bay It’s a quiet day in Billys Bay, It’s a quiet day, In Bily’s Bay It’s a quiet day in Billys Bay, Not too many folks come round this way Except in the summer when they all come and say We love your stories and all your neat junk But my favorite of all is giving Billy, a hug!

This Journey 03:43
We never know where this journey will lead we’ve just got to do our best cause we create it with our choices and the spirits do the rest and no matter what happens to me, I trust this life and I love this journey, for l love this life such a gift that I’ve been given I can remember the mystery When I was just a little little child thinking bout what is this existence sometimes I think, sometimes I dream that there is a purpose to this whole thing, but then I choose to let go, cause maybe the purpose is just to let flow and let it go, let it go, and let it be, let it be just live this life the way that makes me happy, what else, what else is the point. Ooh finding the joy in all the little things, finding the joy, in everything that it brings oooh finding the joy in what is finding the joy and letting it live Oh cause it just keeps unfolding, this journey, this river is flowing all I need to do , is do m best to live my truth love my truth live my truth
