Buddy Comfort: Lyrics

Words and Music by Buddy Comfort

© Laughing Tree Music 1985 - ASCAP

When clear rivers all run freely

When the air is clean

When old forests clothe the earth in green.

When the birdsong wakes each morning

Every heart that’s near

When all humans hold the earth as dear.

I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’ home.

When the angels sing in choirs

With the voice of man

When our children manifest God’s plan.

When our children’s hearts are lightened

From their burdens now endured

When the healing form is secured.

I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’ home.

When all nations come together

Without or poverty

When the human soul can be free.

When at last all is forgiven

In each human heart

When pursuit of peace becomes an art.

I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’ home.

When compassion sails the ethers

On the wings of grace.

And great blessings shine from every face.

When love’s fire fills the hearthstones

Of all families

When sweet music whispers on the breeze.

I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’, I’ll be comin’ home.

Machine made monsters ramblin’ around

Belchin’ smoke and fire.

All the children gone underground

To flee the funeral pyre

The greed, the need, the desire.

(The greed, the fear and the anger)

We’ll all go together on the road toward the Sun.

We’ll all grow together in the love within each one.

First people on American soil

Lived in harmony,

On the land they would not spoil

Nature’s mystery

As bothers, sisters, as free.

We’ll all go together on the road toward the Sun.

We’ll all grow together in the love within each one.

From Findhorn to the Cosmic Bay

The web of ether flows

Light pours through old cracking ways

As awareness grows

Finds, reminds those who know.

And we’ll all go together on the road toward the Sun.

We’ll all grow together in the love within each one.

We are here
We are here
Keepers of the Garden
We are here.

We are here
We are here
Keepers of the Garden
We are here.

Galadriel glides on moon wings
Across the light.
She lifts her eyes to the stars
And weeps with the night.
The wind carries her
Hear kindled deeply on.

Galadriel runs with the deer
In the spring rain.
To the singing waters down by the willow
Freely insane.
The forest holds her
Warm unto her breast.

Refrain

Galadriel tumbles out trembling
To touch the sun.
From the rising waters of the ocean
Her soul has sung.
The waves carry her
Heart kindles freely on.

Galadriel sends you elation
Through her eyes.
Born of joy from the place
Where sorrow lies.
Her wings unfold
In crystals of delight.

Traditional Shaker Hymn

What wondrous love is this
Oh my soul, oh my soul
What wondrous love is this
Oh my soul.

What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of Bliss
To send this perfect peace to my soul
To my soul
To send this perfect peace to my soul.

Lord make me an instrument of thy peace,
Where there is hatred let me so love.
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
And where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, sadness joy.
Oh Divine Master grant that I may not
So much seek to be consoled as to console.
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love.
For it’s in giving that we receive
And it’s in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it’s in dying that we are born into eternal light.
Oh, Lord make me an instrument, make me an instrument
Of thy peace, of thy peace.

Words and music by Donovan Leitch ©

If you want your dream to be
Build it slow and surely
Small beginning greater end
Heartfelt work grows purely.

If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly.
Do few things but do them well
Simple joys are holy.

Day by day
Stone by stone
Build your secret slowly.
Day by day
You’ll grow too
You’ll know heaven’s glory.

Birds are singing sweet and low
From the trees that gently grow
Soft and soothing breezes blow
On this Lovely day.

To the meadow there go I
To wander as the butterfly.
How the flowers please my eye.
On this lovely day.

I wish it could be always.
Life is easy on such a day.
I wish this peace on everyone.
On this lovely day.

La da da da de da di
La da da da de da di
La da da da de da di
On this lovely day.

I wish it could be always.
Life is easy on such a day.
I wish this peace on everyone.
On this lovely day.

Birds are singing sweet and low
From the trees that gently grow
Soft and soothing breezes blow
On this lovely day.

I love my life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I can hear the wind blow
Over the trees
I feel the waves wash over me.
I love my life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I can hear the angels
Sing sweetly to me
I feel my soul sing harmony.
I love my life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I love my life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I would give up galleons of gold
Just to have, have and to hold
This precious life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I can see candles circled ‘round
Held by those who sought and found
This precious life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.
I love my life, love you so dearly
Most precious life
Feel you so clearly.

He walked out on a cobblestone street.
The wounded hem of his brown robe
Lay in cold water round his bare feet.
His heart was too troubled to sleep.
He looked up at the clear black sky
Punched with cold bright stars
And asked them why
There was pain in his heart
And suffering on, suffering on,
Suffering on the earth.
He walked up to the top of the hill
Looked out over the rooftops,
Steeples and plain
Wrapped his robe round
To keep out the chill
And search inside, search inside,
Search inside the pain.
Then appeared an eagle
With the morning light
Called to him to follow
Across the painted sky,
Across the painted sky.
He said I am imprisoned here
In earthbound flesh and bone.
I have no wings to follow you
Must remain here here, remain here,
Remain here alone.
From his heart arose a voice
Speaking gently and true
You have come to earth by choice
How you live is up to you,
How you live is up to you.
I have one request of you
That you live this life
Tend my garden lovingly
“Till all have eyes to see it,
“Till all have eyes to see.
He walked out on a cobblestone street.
