Lyrics: House of Light

House of Light

House of Light
House of Light…ohh ohh

Angels surround me to help show me the way
Out of the darkness of self defeating beliefs
Into the warm loving light of day

In the House of Light
In the House of light …We Love….

When the spirit awakens to itself
And forgives those around them who still suffer in the dark

And valiantly protect the treasures of the heart

By responding with courage dignity and respect
Shining the light of hope and forgiveness
On to the path to love

In the House of Light
En la Casa de luz
En la Casa de luz
Celebramos el amor

There’s no other place I choose to live
Every day learning to let go and forgive

I have the courage to turn darkness into light
I can take the lead even though others may not
I don’t have to wait till the time is right
To live my life in the house of light

In the House of Light
En la Casa de luz en la Casa de luz
Vivimos el amor
En la Casa de Luz vivimos el amor

By My Side

I want to prove my aim is true
To help you ease your mind
Sacrifice my pride for you and

Chorus:
Keep you by my side
Keep you by my side

I want to give you all that you deserve
Eliminate your suspicions and false concerns
So you can have more faith in me
And prove my loyalty

Chorus

Bridge:
Yet I don’t understand all the reprimands
You say I’m not playing by the rules
I want to share with you my plans
Without restrictions or demands
And not be misconstrued
By you… cuz I want to

Keeping the Heart Open

Chorus:
Keeping the heart open
When you feel sorry for your self
Keeping the heart open
Just for today

When it wants to close
When anger slams it shut
When fear urges us to lock it

Keeping the heart open…

When it hurts to breathe
When the mind snaps into judgment
When distrust makes us suspicious

Keeping the heart open
When you feel sorry for yourself
Keeping the Heart Open
Just for today…

Bridge:
Let your heart flow like a river
Rushing out to meet the sea
Love and beauty surround us
Open hearts set us free

Solo (Chorus)

Keeping the heart open when you feel sorry for yourself
Keeping the heart open.. just for today …

Rescue Me

I wake up in the morning all ready to go
Trying to keep up a rhythm while I’m running the show
So I wait for you to Rescue me

I wake up in the morning and I just want to sing
There’s a thunderstorm warning and the phone always rings
But I wait for you to Rescue me
Green and blue are the colors I want to see

I can see the clouds breaking and the sun up above
Even though I am waiting to give you my love
Because my tough side is fighting to keep me in line
I can see it fading it’s a matter of time
So I wait for you to Rescue me
Green and blue are the colors I want to see
So I wait for you to rescue me

Natural Step

We got to start somewhere we don’t have a choice
We’re headed towards nature’s wall
But we can change our course

To the natural step, natural step
Protect the treasures of the earth
You can’t replace it’s worth
Do the natural step

The earth can’t keep up with the pace of our waste
Let’s give her a chance to breathe
Protect our human race

Do the natural step, natural Step
Protect the treasures of the earth
You can’t replace it’s worth
Do the natural step

We got to replant the lost trees
Sow the seeds
So our children’s children can breathe

So the natural step, natural step

Slow and Steady

I know I came on too strong
And you weren’t ready

Maybe all along
We should have gone

Slow and steady

Let’s try again
Let’s set the record straight

Let’s connect before it’s too late

Let’s start all over
Let’s make amends

Let’s start again by being friends

The Image

Little specs of particles thrown together on the screen
try to draw the image and bring out what it means

CHORUS:
You want save a picture (of a moment you’ve lived)
You want to take it with you (make sure it wasn’t just a dream)
And when we hear a song
We see the image in our minds
That frequency of sound
will carry longer than all time

You want to reach the top climb the ladder of success

You want to show the world you’re nothing but the best
Because you got a sex appeal that people really like
It’s not any more than what you feel it’s the image that is right

Chorus

So much time has gone by so many memories that have faded
I can remember them if I try when the image is persuaded

Chorus

Heaven in Your Eyes

Your words spoke to me
It was a message on a page
written so eloquently
So I picked up the phone

and dialed your number

When you called me back
we connected right away
Our suspense grew with each passing day
It was a full moon the night we met
a night that I’ll never forget when I saw…

Heaven, heaven in your eyes
Heaven, heaven in your eyes

You got just what you were looking for
and a whole lot more
I also don’t want to rush a thing
I just want to explore the

Heaven, heaven in your eyes
Heaven ,heaven in your eyes

Didn’t you say it’s rare when people connect
how can we let this pass us by?
I’m love with our discovery
and the beauty that you have inside

You’ve got heaven, heaven in your eyes
and your warm like the sun
as we hold the torch of love so high
our journey’s just begun because

You’ve got heaven, heaven in your eyes
Heaven, heaven in your eyes

Stick Around

Like a bell I’m ringing
like a Bird I’m singing
when I’m with you

Let me tell you what I’m thinking
let me tell you how I’m feeling
when I’m with you

I want to know you’ll never go
so stick around

If you love me  I can do anything I want to do
If you love me I can do anything I want to do
I want to know you’ll never go so stick around

Stick around stick around

Like a River I’m flowing
like the sun I’m glowing
when I’m with You

I know that  life won’t last forever
but as long as we’re together
this much is true
I want to know you’ll never go
so stick around

Stick around  stick around
Stick around- Just stick around

If you love me I can do anything I want to do
If you love me I can do anything I want to do
I want to know you’ll never go so stick around

In Control

Sitting’ in a traffic jam
trying to get myself together
Trying not to let things get out of hand
In this foggy weather

It’s been an hour since I’ve been on the road
All the cars are moving real slow
When it looks real bad and I think that I’ve been had
I change my attitude

And I’m in Control
I am not going to let it get to me
In Control say goodbye to misery
In control no more of this nasty weather
I’m gonna get myself together

When I finally get home I see the cat is gone
The kitchens dirty and the dog tore up the lawn
And I look in the mirror and I see a new gray hair
I tell you it just ain’t fair

Sure enough the telephone rings
It’s the creditors acting real mean
So I almost hang up the phone stayed on the line and said
How much do I owe you this time?

And I’m In Control I am not going to let it get to me
In Control say goodbye to misery
In Control no more of this nasty weather
I’m going to get myself together

Bridge:
In Control yeah yeah uhuh
I said I’m in Control yeah yeah uhuh
In In Control, In, In Control
In Control, In Control, In Control I said I said I said I’m In Control……
