Tracks



01. Thin Air

Music & lyrics by Vincent Cavanagh, Danny Cavanagh, John Douglas
Love
Is free
In time
In peace
And now
Is here
This life
This dream

You know how it feels but
Is it all in your mind?
When you know how it feels to be
Pushed and pulled through your life
And sometimes I feel like
There is light in your eyes
And all that I know is I love you
Yes I love you

And it feels like we're already flying
But the air is too thin and we're dying
The clouds all around take us higher
The world far below is on fire
I hold out my hand just to touch you
And all that I know is I love you
A vision, a promise of heaven
A reason for being forever

You're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand
And face it
This is who we are
One step closer
Into thin air
We will go there
We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
I feel you breathe
And you're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back
This is where we stand

02. Summernight Horizon

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
In the moonlight
In the moonlight's pale embrace
We come to know the space between us
The space between us

Dreamlight
Dreamlight comes in waves
(The waves within us)
Starlight
Starlight, silent brakes
(It brakes between us)
To know the space within us
The space within us

In blood red skies
Mind takes flight (the sky is falling)
Oceans rise
Worlds collide
To know the space between us
The space between us

Fly
In a dream so high
Feel so alive
The world is like a jewel in your eyes
One life
Feel it

In the moonlight
The moonlight's pale embrace
(Embrace the feeling)
There is no space between us
No space between us

In blood red skies
Tears run dry (the sky is falling)
There is no space between us

03. Dreaming Light

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Suddenly
Life has new meaning
Suddenly
Feeling is being

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind
Like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

And suddenly
I don't have to be afraid
Suddenly
It all falls into place

And you shine inside
And love stills my mind
Like the sunrise
Dreaming light of the sunrise

I feel you but I don't really know you
I dreamed of you from the moment I saw you
And I've seen the sunrise in your eyes
The sky, the sea, the light

So live your dream beneath the northern horizon
Be at peace set your heart in flight again
For the light is truth
The light is you

04. Everything

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Needed time to clear my mind
Breathe the free air find some peace there
I used to keep my heart in jail
But the choice was love or fear of pain and

And I chose love
Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

Light shines through an open window
Shines inside your heart and soul
And light will guide your way through time
And love will help you heal your mind

And life will be
Because everything is energy and energy is you and me

05. Angels Walk Among Us

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

But it must have been an angel
Who counted out the time
Yes it must have been an angel
Who raised a knowing smile
And I just couldn't reach you
No matter how I tried
I just couldn't reach you
So instead I ran to hide

Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

Mother can you hear me?
Can you tell me, are you there?
Father can you help me?
Because I know that you care
And I don't have to fight it anymore
For all those years we were dreaming
And I don't have to worry anymore
I found my belief in

Only you can heal your life
Only you can heal inside

06. Presence

Music by Danny Cavanagh
"One has to come to terms with one's own mortality. You know, you can't really help people who are having problems with mortality if you've got problems
of your own, so you have to begin to sort things ou. And I thought I had sorted things out until I saw this little excerpt from this book which said,
as far as I can remember "Life is not the opposite of death. Death is the opposite of birth, life is eternal" and I thought that was the most profound
words I'd ever heard about that issue, and it really put me at peace. I felt this wonderful stillness... and I thought "That's it!" what else is there
to say? Life is eternal, so the opposite of life is not death, but life is eternal, it has no opposite. So what happens there is.. I suppose one just
remains in a state of pure consciousness. Stillness... silence... you know, what we're looking for now, we're searching for it, or we have been searching
for it, and now we have come closer to it. And it's knowing that it's already there, there's nothing to look for, nothing to seek, it's there. And it's
going to be there all the time, forever more."

07. A Simple Mistake

Music & lyrics by Danny Cavanagh
Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
See for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
Here in the moment we share
Trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined
Veiled like diamonds in time..

..Can be the answer
Take a chance, lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make
To create love and to fall
So rise and be your master
You don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

I have found my way to fly
Free from the constraints of time
I have soared through the sky
Seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene
Sailed on oceans of belief
Searched and found life inside
We're not just a moment in time..

..Can be the answer
Take a chance, lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make
To create love and to fall
So rise and be your master
You don't need to be a slave
Of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life
See beyond the sky
Beyond our waking eyes

And when the night is long
Feel I don't belong
And when the sky is grey
You turn to me and say
"Love is all we are
Together or apart"
And then the light of day
Calls you on your way
Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life
See beyond...
See beyond...

It's never too late

08. Get Off Get Out

Music & lyrics by John Douglas
I know I feel it flow
I see it grow, I see you low
Hello, too low..?
I know to feel it more
To feel it more, feel it more
Than more..
I feel it more to feel it more

It aint about yourself get out of yourself
Push it on out of yourself right out of sight
You got a big surprise coming your way
Push it on all out, move it
Pust it. Push it
It aint about yourself get out of yourself
Go check it out
It's coming..

09. Universal

Music & lyrics by John Douglas
Above the clouds
We flew to heaven
Through the eye of the storm
Into the light

And I see you in everything
You're everywhere I go
And it's in everything I do

I dreamed a thousand years
Just to be here
Where everything is right
Scrape those screaming skies
Defy the limits and fly high

And I see you in everything
You're everywhere I go
And it's in everything I do

In you with you

10. Hindsight

Music by Danny Cavanagh
Intangible. Eternal. Without beginning nor end. The nameless,
formless energy that permeates all living things. That sweeps
through nature like a ripple in an ocean, sending cascades of
timeless wonder through the air, on the song of a bird, the
freshness of the morning air. A clear calling for our inner
nature to awaken beyond our every day lives, and fears. Love
is timeless, love is purity. It is the lightless light, the
rays of the sunrise dancing on the surface of the sea. Love is
you, and love is me. It is the deepest knowing, the serenity of
being, the laughter of the earth, the limitless breath of the
wind, the wonder of potential, the power of thought, the gift
of life, the highest vibration, the most profound awareness...
the knower. Life. Love. Infinite. within you. Now. Always.

For it is in love's gentle embrace that we come to know the
space between us. A feeling deep within that not all is what it
seems. that we bear witness to a magic as deep our own, to a
summernight horizon that whispers "welcome" to your soul. And
in those fleeting, trembling moments that we share between the
worlds, it is enough for us to know that in each other we must
care, for alive and not alone are we the children of the world,
here to witness time and the unfolding miracle of the soul.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is
no disease that enough love cannot heal, No door that enough love
will not open, No gulf that enough love will not bridge, and no
war that enough love will not throw down. It makes no difference
how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outcome, how
muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization
of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, you
would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.
