Speaking of Love

Love never dies a natural death.
It dies because we don’t know
how to replenish its source.
—Anaïs Nin

Speaking of love
Tell me how does it feel

Speaking of peace
Tell me how does it feel

Hate ain’t born in you
It’s just something they raised on

We’re all seeking the truth

I write all day and all night
And it feel like love
All right

Love love love
That’s what the world needs

Wanna shout it from the mountains
We got a good thing going on

I know
You know
We know
That what we have is real

When the sky is falling from above you
And the wind is raging at the coast

And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most

We gotta love ourselves so much
That the confidence attracts someone else

See when you forgive your imperfections
And you’ve auctioned all your clothes

And look to see your true reflection
YOU will be the one who loves you the most!

Bonus track:

Be patient like a rainbow
Everything will fall into place

Angel in the snow

Who is your perfect

Angel in the snow?

Do they ever have to wonder

if you love them?

Determined to succeed

Whatever the mind can conceive
and believe
the mind can achieve

Regardless
of how many times
you have failed in the past

or how lofty
your aims and hopes
may be

Just go out
and get it!

You know you the best
you gotta keep doing it

But don’t forget when you do
just keep YOU in it

(NSFW due to language)

Focus on your ability

Rise above

It’s up to your ability

I know
that you want it

Focus on your ability!

Even if

Sometimes you wanna

Disappear

Your dreams
are not
out of your reach

Gotta focus on your ability

Focus on your ability!

Empathy is the Answer

I am prayin’
For all of those who ain’t got it

In order to receive
Then we need to give
We gotta feed the kids
They gotta eat to live

Lies never set you free
But the truth will

Can you feel
What they feel?

Let’s
Cultivate
Empathy

And there’s the gratitude

You can
find it

Even if you have to
think
really
hard

Where is it where is it
Where’s the gratitude?

Ahh there
it is

Practicing my gratitude, life is so beautiful
Working on that attitude

It only gets better, better
It only gets better from here

Your job is what you get paid to do
Your call is what you’re made to do
I got faith in you, you’re gonna make it through

Hey, let me break it down, oh, bless your hearts
Keep talking bout how stressed you are
Better talk about how blessed you are

Don’t let it take you off your base, let it motivate you
Don’t let it overtake you

Lord knows I had it hard today
Still I gotta keep my head up high along the way
Cause it only gets better, better

It only gets better from here!

Keep Shining

This little light
of mine

I’m gonna
let it shine

You can have

All my shine

I’ll give you a
Light

Let me be
Your everlasting light

Let in the light

Let it in

We can
Light up the night

Remember:

A candle loses nothing
by lighting another candle

We just fill the world with more

Light

Recipe for Peace

Gotta have
Faith

all you need
is the size of a
mustard seed

Begin to
build
Peace

little by little

it will grow in time
like the start of this song

so have patience, grasshopper

In the meantime
please remember

just this thimble of advice

Things are what you make of them!

When did you stop dancing?

if you’re feeling out of sorts,
ask yourself

when did you stop singing?

when did you stop dancing?

when did you stop telling stories?

just DANCE!
it’s OK to be awkward

here is Portland’s own Onuinu to help you get over yourself:

All we have is HOPE and LOVE

All we have
Is HOPE and LOVE
So don’t you worry child
Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Lift us up so we can
Rise above

Give LOVE
It’s the only thing that heals you
Come on sisters, give it to your brothers
So give LOVE it’s the only thing that heals you
Come on brothers, give it to your sisters

So give LOVE
It’s the only thing that cures you
And we all need a little healing

And if you give it, I have learned
It’ll all be returned
If you only give LOVE
If you only just give
Your LOVE

More inspiration from the amazing Brett Dennen:

Don’t forget that I believe in YOU! Life is loving and letting go…
