The Price of Love

Written for and dedicated to Dawn Isodora (http://dawnisidora.com/) in thanks for her beautiful beads and her wonderful awesome self. Thank you for being part of my life x

She searches the world for the perfect bead
To suit her purpose her devotional need
Sews them together with such loving care
A divine gift for someone to wear
Shares them with pride her heart open wide
But then comes the part that she likes the least
Someone enquires how much for this piece

What price can I put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
I work to live but I live to serve
What price do I deserve?

What price can I put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
I work to live but I live to serve
What price do I deserve?

She holds herself with such loving grace
Shares it all within sacred space
Gives all she can she has so much to share
With her community and others who care
A pillar so strong her arms so long
And when people ask why she gives so much
She smiles and says with a whispered hush

What price can I put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
I work to live but I live to serve
What price do I deserve?

What price can I put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
I work to live but I live to serve
What price do I deserve?

Her beautiful beads call out to me
Her heart, her will and devotion I see
But there is no price or tag anywhere
So I seek her out to ask how much for her fare
Her face starts to sink I start to think
Money’s too cold and it’s just not enough
So I give you this song and it’s filled with love

Cause what price can you put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
You work to live but you live to serve
And love’s the price that you deserve

What price can we put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
We work to live but we live to serve
And love’s the price that we deserve

What price can we put on love?
Does it have to cost the stars above?
We work to live but we live to serve
And love’s the price that we deserve
Yes love’s the price that we deserve

Persephone

Written for and dedicated to my beloved brother F on the renewal of his vows

Walk with me and take my hand
And I’ll step you through the seasons on a tour Grande
Spring and Summer Autumn and through winter too
Such secrets that I hold and I’ll share them all with you

Walk with me and let’s go right now
We can open up this door I will show you how
It may not seem so now but I’m offering you a choice
You can remain silent or you can find your voice

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

Walk with me through the realms I love
The one that’s down below and the one that’s up above
Take a look around and tell me what you see
Tear that veil from your eyes and such visions are released

Walk with me through the darkest depths
You think you’ve hit the bottom but you haven’t been there yet
No matter how far you fall I always will be there
Just hold out your hand and you’ll know how much I care

I remember long ago when I was like you were then
All young and innocent till he snatched me from my mother’s heart
Just like I snatched you from yours
When you whispered

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

So walk with me and take my hand
And I’ll step you through the seasons on a tour Grande
Spring and Summer Autumn and through winter too
Such secrets that I hold and I’ll share them all with you

Walk with me and let’s go right now
We can open up this door I will show you how
It may not seem so now but I’m offering you a choice
You can remain silent or you can find your voice

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

Persephone you whispered Persephone
That’s what you called when you first encountered me
You wanted truth and knowledge you wanted to be free
So I held out my hand and I drew you to me

About the song

Facebook Blues

I look at my facebook
And I see bad news all day
I look at my facebook
And I see bad news all day
No angry emoticons
Are gonna drive that news away

People in West Papua
Are cut down for standing up
People in West Papua
Are cut down for standing up
Politicians’ heads are buried
Anonymous has had enough

The grand old reef is dying
All for a lump of coal
That grand old reef is dying
And all for a lump of coal
Gotta wonder sometimes
If politicians have a soul

School kids are bullied
Cause they tried to be themselves
School kids are bullied
Cause they tried to be themselves
Conservatives are worried
That Safe Schools mean they’ll fry in Hell

They’re logging the old forests
And those possums don’t have no home
They’re logging the old forests
And those possums don’t have no home
Well if they keep on logging
Well soon all be all dead old bones

Can’t go to the bathroom
Unless I’m what they want me to be
Can’t go to the bathroom
Unless I’m what they want me to be
Ain’t gonna let that stop me
Cause all I’m trying to do is pee

Children thrown in prison
Cause they’re fleeing something bad
Children thrown in prison
Cause they’re fleeing something bad
No ‘mount of paranoia
Is gonna stop me from holding their hand

I look at this road I’m walkin’
And I ask if I have liberty
I look at this road I’m walkin’
And I ask if I have liberty
I’m tied up in knots from tryin’
Lucifer won’t you set me free

Gonna set facebook on fire
And release all these chains that bind
Gonna set facebook on fire
And release all these chains that bind
Turn awareness into passion
It’s up to us to help our lights to shine

Man of Knowledge

Dedicated to Gwydion with loving and heartfelt gratitude

I’m a man of knowledge I’m a cunning man
The heart of the Labyrinth is in my hand
I arm myself with words that heal
For love and compassion forge my shirt of steel

My dragons are all in human form
And the internet serves as my horn
My voice rings out just like a bell
Calling all who are ill to my sacred well

I choose my battles with loving care
Show you’re not alone ‘cause I am there
So many fall to circumstance
Forget the art of war is the art of dance

I’m a man of knowledge I’m a cunning man
The heart of the Labyrinth is in my hand
I arm myself with words that heal
For love and compassion forge my shirt of steel

Grandmother Weaver Grandfather Green

Grandmother Weaver, weave your web
We feel your threads about our head
Weaving and spinning thread by thread
Grandmother Weaver, weave your web

Grandfather Green, come spread your cloak
Of quartz bone and granite holly and oak
Through leaves and twigs your fingers poke
Grandfather Green, come spread your cloak
