Lyrics from

DAYS OF AWE   by Rob Tobias

In the days, days of awe We come together to center ourselves
In the days, days of awe We come together to cleanse ourselves
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence
Of who we are, of who we are, of who we are

In the days, days of awe We come together to center ourselves
In the days, days of awe We come together to cleanse ourselves
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence We are opening up to the sweet surrender
T’shuvah, Returning, Turning, to the essence Of the luminous love light of the one
Of who we are, of who we are, of who we are

TRAVELING AGAIN  by Rob Tobias

Through the dark and the rain, we’re traveling again
Trying to find the way back home
Through the hurt and the pain, we’re traveling again
Trying to find the way back home

Where there can be love and there can be light even in the darkest night
The darkest night, that’s when we light up the flames
There can be peace if we start right here
Even if it’s not so clear, not so clear, which road will take us there

From Eastern Europe and from Spain, Ethiopia and the Ukraine
Just trying to find a place to call home
We’ve been accused, we’ve been blamed, now we’re traveling again
Just trying to find a way back home

Where there can be love and there can be light
Even in the darkest night, the darkest night
That’s when we light up our flames
And there can be peace if we start right here
Even when it’s not so clear, not so clear
Which road will take us there

TREE OF LIFE   by Rob Tobias

Yay dy dy, yay dy dy, yay day day day day day…

Breath in, breath out, breath in Breath out, breath in, breath out
Etz Chaim, Tree of life Etz Chaim Etz Chaim, Tree of life Etz Chaim

What the tree breathes in I breath out What I breath out, the tree breathes in

Breath in, breath out, breath in Breath out, breath in, breath out
Etz Chaim, Tree of life Etz Chaim Etz Chaim, Tree of life Etz Chaim

JORDAN RIVER SONG   by Rob Tobias

Walking along by the Jordan River, underneath green canopy
Water flowing and the birds are singing, it’s such a peaceful place to be
(chorus) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, ooo, jah
              Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, ooo, jah

Walking along by the Jordan River, among the willows and sycamores
Birds in the sky make loops, call out to me, with colorful wings I’ve never seen before
(chorus)

The sun is setting on the Jordan river, clouds reflecting pink and orange
Ahhh, its heavenly, can you smell, the honeysuckle fragrance in the air
(chorus)

Walking along by the Jordan River, Biblical land of history
Peace is here in the beauty of nature, flowing on through the centuries
(chorus)

RIVERS OF BABYLON   by B. Dowe / F. McNaughton

By the Rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
And there we wept, cause we remember Zion

And the wicked carried us away captivity, required from us a song
How can we sing a holy song in a strange land

And may the words of our mouth and the meditations of our hearts
Be acceptable in thy sight, over I

CHANGE IN THE WORLD   by Rob Tobias

Here we are right now, this is the state we’re in
If we want to make changes we got to roll up our sleeves and begin
Some days I want to change the house I live in
Some day I want to change the car I drive
Some days I just want to wake up and feel more alive
And make some changes, make a change

Transformation happens every day in the work we do and the games we play
Who calls the shots, who makes the pitch, who molds the clay
It’s so easy to complain, so easy to place the blame
Another day, another dollar, another chance, to make a difference in the world
Make some changes, make a change

(chorus) oh Monday, get ready to go, Tuesday, get yourself on a roll
Wednesday, you got that thirst Thursday, it’s a little bit worse but
Friday, joyful night Saturday, step out into the light, and
Sunday get ready for a change in the world
Change in the world, change in the world, change in the world

Change is happening all around, it’s just, sometimes we get stuck and we get down
And the darkness covers up, the light within
If I could learn to just get out of the way, Let the brightness come and fill my day
I could heal, I could see a clear path ahead… and make some changes, make a change

(chorus)

KEEP ON DREAMING    by Pied Pumkin

I can make the mountains ring, hear those birdies sing
Wind will set the trees to dancing
We can sing the sun to shine (We can sing the sun to shine)
Set your mind to glowing (Set your mind to glowing)

Laugh away your troubles, break out the moonshine (monkey shine now)
Sitting in a tree sheltered from the cold of an evening breeze

You can change the world, set your mind to it (Put your heart through it)
Reach out to what you can climb, You know where we all belong so
Keep on dreaming and get yourself strong (Keep on dreaming and get yourself strong)

OR SHALOM  by Rich Glauber

Now we kindle a miracle, the flame that would never die
Let it guide us on our way, through the darkest night
It’s growing brighter every day, I know it in my soul
It’s the light of freedom, light of peace, Or Shalom

(chorus) Or Shalom, Shine the light of peace
It can illumine every home, Or Shalom, Or Shalom
Or Shalom, Shine the light on me
Let it illumine every home, Or Shalom, Or Shalom, Or Shalom

We remember the miracle, a flame that would never die
Let it guide us on our way, through the longest night
It’s growing brighter every day, I know it in my soul
It’s the light of freedom, light of peace, Or Shalom    (chorus)

ROCK OF AGES   traditional

Rock of ages let our song, praise thy saving power
Thou amidst the raging foes, was our sheltering tower,
Our sheltering tower, (Praise thy saving power) Rock of ages
Rock of ages (Was our sheltering tower) Rock of ages

Furious they assailed us, but your arm, your arm availed us
And your word, it broke their sword, when our own strength failed us,
Our own strength failed us (Praise thy saving power) (Was our sheltering tower)

Children of the wanderers whether free or fettered
Wake the echo of the songs, though they may be scattered,
They may be scattered (Praise thy saving power) Rock of ages
Rock of ages (Was our sheltering tower) Rock of ages

Yours the message that we cheer, and the time is drawing near
When we will see people free, and the tyrants disappearing,
Tyrants disappearing (Praise thy saving power) Rock of ages
Rock of ages (Was our sheltering tower) Rock of ages

CIRCLE ROUND FOR FREEDOM   by Linda Hirschorn

Circle round for freedom, circle round for peace
For all of us imprisoned circle for release
Circle for the planet, circle for each soul
And for the children of our children, keep the circle whole

Keep, Keep, Keep the circle whole, whole, whole
Keep, Keep, Keep the circle whole
