01. I Am A Seeker mp3 Sample
©2005 Laurie Story Vela

Chorus:
I am a seeker on this journey called life.
I am a seeker in the dark and the light.
I am a seeker in this great mystery.
I am, I am, I am
The * Faith (Grace, Sacred)
that lives in you and me.

When there are dark days and I can’t feel ok,
I get on my knees and I cry and I pray
I say oh Great God, please show me the way.
I pray, I pray, for comfort and meaning I pray... for
Chorus (Grace)

The meaning I seek surrounds me everyday.
I open my heart to understand and to pray.
I say thank you Great God, you are the way.
I pray, I pray, with gratitude and faith I pray... for
Chorus (Sacred)

With the voice of our youth, we offer this truth.
Every breath is proof that we live.
We live, we live, we live
in the sacred we live. (for)

We are the seekers on this journey called life.
We are the seekers in the dark and the light.
We are the seekers in this great mystery.
We are the Sacred breath … it lives, it lives in you and me.

02. Find A Mirror mp3 Sample
©2004 Laurie Story Vela


I wish that I could show you, the truth of your beauty
Put a mirror up to your heart so that you could see
With certainty and clarity, you would see the reality of you …

Chorus:
Find a mirror, find a mirror
that lets you see your body and hold it as dear
        Find a mirror, find a mirror
that lets you see your beauty, without a doubt, crystal clear,
find a mirror, find a mirror,
 oh look, you are so beautiful, find a mirror
    
  This mirror would reflect your beauty and transform all your tears
 It would deflect your doubts and dissolve all your fears  
With certainty and clarity, you would see the reality of you ….
Chorus
  
Look, you are so perfect, right here, right now, find a mirror ….
Look, your body is just right
even when your jeans are tight, mmmmmmm ….
Look past your busy mind,
you’re good and sweet and kind, mmmmmmm ….
Look down deep into your soul,
you are complete and whole, mmmmmm….

Find a mirror, oh look you are so beautiful,
find, find a mirror, find, find, find a mirror

03. I Am Good Enough mp3 Sample
©2005 Laurie Story Vela

Chorus:
I am good enough. I am good enough.
Made of the perfect stuff, I am good.
I am good enough. I am good enough.
I am good, good, good, good enough.

Sure, I make mistakes; sometimes that’s what it takes
to participate in life and to grow.
But no matter what I do, I can start anew
with the essence of myself and what I know.
I know that … Chorus


Sometimes I have doubt;
I let others talk me out of who I am and what it is I know.
Other times, it’s in me; I just can’t feel free
To let my true self shine and show.
So I remind me … Chorus


Yes, I am just fine for I am made divine.
I am in the flow of goodness all the time.
I don’t have to earn it. Don’t even have to learn it.
I am worthy by design, it is mine.
It’s true that … Chorus


When I forget what I own and all the truth I’m shown,
when I forget my Oneness and feel all alone…
That’s the time to say, I am enough in every way
say it over ‘til I know it in my bones.
Yes, I say … Chorus

04. I Am Love mp3 Sample
©2005 Laurie Story Vela

Even though I know better,
sometimes fear sends me a letter
Or doubt gives me a call.
It’s my chance to stand up tall,
Turn from the wall and say…

Chorus:
Doubt, you get out! There’s no place for you here.
Fear, go away! I won’t hold you near.
Love lights my way. My path is clear.
I am God’s blessed child, loved so dear.
I am joy! I am Love! That’s what I’m made of.
I am joy! I am Love! That’s what I’m made of.
Thank you, thank you, thank you God!
I am Love.

So no matter what comes along, like times I feel I don’t belong.
I will say, “Heart, you are strong. And doubt and fear, you are wrong.”
I will sing, sing this song. I’ll sing…
Chorus

Oh yes, I am free from this negativity.
Doubt and fear, you have no hold on me.
I am cradled in grace and sweet serenity.
I bask in the bounty of the blessings of me.

I am joy! I am Love!
That’s what I’m made of.
I am joy! I am Love!
That’s what I’m made of.
Thank you, thank you, thank you God! I am Love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you God! I am Love.
I am Love. I am Love. I am Love.

05. The Greatest Power mp3 Sample
© 2006 Laurie Story Vela

Thunder sky sounds like power
A thunder sky feels like force
Thunder sky rumbles loudly
But thunder sky
is just 1 tiny piece of Source

Chorus:
Love is, Love is, the greatest power
Love is the strongest force.
I am, I am, the breath of God’s love.
I live and breathe the loving power of my Source.

Angry shouts sound like power
A fighting fist feels like force
Anger hurts sometimes loudly
But violence is not the greatest force of course
Chorus

Doom & gloom seem like power
Darkness falls and feels like force
Quiet doom can talk loudly
But depression disappears
in the shining light of Source
Chorus

Kind words spoken sound like power
Open hearts feel love’s blissful force
Happy smiles sing so loudly
Peaceful footsteps ... are daily choices on our course
Chorus

06. Release For Peace mp3 Sample
©2006 Laurie Story Vela


The dishes and dogs, the plumbing and bills
The boss and the kids, the Dr. says pills
In box is full, the car needs repair
Another bad day for me and my hair
Supposed to be 3 places right now
Time management’s key but I don’t know how

Allow, allow, allow yourself to breathe…
Breathe, breathe, breathe in peace
Allow yourself to just release
Breathe, breathe, breathe,
breathe in peace, sweet peace

Racing to work, a train in my way
Traffic’s a mess on this rainy day
Cell phone is ringing, there’s so much to say
I want to hide from work, just run off and play
To busy to be happy, it’s all such a shame
I think I’m losing this endless game
What can I do but wallow in blame ….

Let go of everything that seems so unfair
Let go of all that makes you despair
Let go now and breathe in fresh air
Let yourself be happy … if you dare
You don’t even have to know how …
just allow, allow, allow yourself to breathe…
Breathe, breathe, breathe in peace
Allow yourself to just release
Breathe, breathe, breathe,
breathe in peace, sweet peace

Now, nothing has changed,
the world is still twirling
    Except now your brain
has stopped spinning & swirling
In the flow of well being,
there is enough time…
Your breath is freeing your busy mind ….
Breathe, breathe, breathe in peace,
allow yourself to just release,
Breathe, breathe, breathe in peace ….
Peace, peace, peace….
Breathe ……….. breathe ………… breathe ………..

07. Begin Again mp3 Sample
©2005 Laurie Story Vela


It only takes a moment, to begin again.
You decide the time ... how 'bout this moment we are in
Close your eyes, look inside, take that leap of faith.
Your Spirit knows right where to go
and you've got what it takes... to say ...

Chorus:
Hey, Hello Happiness!
Open up and feel the bliss.
If you can hear me, then hear this:
You can have what you want.
Oh ya, hey, have happiness, open up and just say yes.
Feel the flow your Spirit knows ... Just say yes, just say yes.

If you insist, you can resist, either way, you will grow.
Realized, hypnotized or paralyzed by no.
Close your eyes, look inside, reach into your heart.
Trust what's there is calling you to a brand new start ... and say ...
Chorus

Life is such a series of choice after choice.
Why not choose the voice that causes you to rejoice?
Moment by moment, we can begin again.
Joy is always calling you ... Let it in, let it in, let joy in! ... and say ...
Chorus

Tag:
Yes, yes, yes! It only takes a moment, to begin again.

As If Mp3 Sample

I  will live this day as if time is my friend.
I  will live this day as if time never ends.
Drinking the moments with a grateful thirst.
I  will live today as if it is my first.

Chorus:
As if this life were created by me.
As if my life were full of possibilities.
As if, as if, as if I  can.
As if, as if, as if I  am.

I  will live this day as if I’m never through.
Drinking the colors of sunrise and set.
I  will live today as if as if I  won’t forget.

Drinking pure waters that abundantly fall.

With what we do & with the words that we say.

14. We Have Faith mp3 Sample
©2004 Laurie Story Vela


Sometimes it’s so hard to go on
When your heart feels like the journey’s way too long
And there’s just no place you feel like you belong
 Sometimes it’s so hard …… when things feel wrong
But we have ...

Chorus:
We have Faith, we have Faith
When we just can’t find the light, we have Faith
Yes, we have Faith, We have Faith
On the darkest night …… we have Faith


Everyone needs somethin’ to believe
    A place where heart and mind can agree
When no matter where you look, hope can’t be seen
Sometimes we need to see …… just blindly believe ... so we have ...
Chorus
    
The world is just as big as it is small.
We’re each a huge and tiny part of all
And it seems to be the hard times when we fall
but that’s when we find Faith …… and we answer her call
Yes we have... Chorus

Tag:
On the darkest night … thank you Faith.
