1/Upon The Windy Shore
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
La la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la
Don’t need to be nobody, don’t need to be nowhere
I spoke to the wind last night,
Even she didn’t care
Though at other times the wind, she spoke so clear
I could swear the whole wide world could hear
Well I came upon the windy shore
To pray upon the wind some more
For peace and joy, for peace and joy
The wind whispered, “Hey you’ve been here before,
Waitin’ at the hallowed door for peace and joy,
For peace and Joy”
We were born of the wind,
We’ll return to her again
Return to her again
We’re going to rise in the morning and find
Rise up darling, oh rise up
Rise in the morning
And find we’re the breath of spring
Well I came upon the windy shore
To pray upon the wind some more
For peace and joy, for peace and joy
The wind whispered, “Hey you’ve been here before,
Waitin’ at the hallowed door for peace and joy”
Every day love somehow calls our name
In the song of the wind, in the whisper of the rain
For every saint, every sinner, in deep joy or in deep pain
Well I came upon the windy shore
To pray upon the wind some more
For peace and joy, for peace and joy
The wind whispered, “Hey you’ve been here before
Waitin’ at the hallowed door for peace and joy,
For peace and joy”
La la la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la…
Ooh la la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la

2/On Her Wings
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise and Nadia Deleye
It was a tear gas day
It so often happens that way
It drifted towards the sun
And scattered everyone
Just a dreamer on Eternity’s way
What else can you do these days?
We know that dream is now
Sometimes you’ve got to fight for what you love somehow
Native of Eternity, oh prisoner of Infinity
Every prisoner has his scheme
To climb that wall and pierce his dreams
From Hong Kong to La Paz today
They’ll go down fighting they say
What other chance they got?
What other choice they got?
C’mon the time is now
We can make it somehow
To this mountain top of love and dreams
Across this no man’s land to hope and peace
We know the dream is now
Like a swan that follows the stars somehow
There’s a trail written on the wind
Love can lift us on her wings
Love can lift us on her wings
On her wings
C’mon the time is now
We can make it somehow
To this mountain top of love and dreams
Across this no man’s land to hope and peace

3/Pure Joy Of It
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
I’d been going ‘round on the merry-go
I had a friend drop in from Mexico
She said “Love’s like a wave on the ocean”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a woh
She said “Love’s just tenderness in motion”
I’ve got a reason to love, for the pure joy of it
I’ve got a reason to share, for the pure joy of it
I’ve got a reason to dare
So take your love down from the merry-go
Eventually that’s where we got to go
The ocean takes care of every wave in motion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a woh woh
Until it hits the shore of devotion
And then it’s on its way, for the pure joy of it
To be back another day, for the pure joy of it
Call it the eternal way
So catch that wave, the wave that’s rollin’ by
If not now there’ll be another by and by
That’s the nature of evolution
We paint the situation and the solution
And then we’re on our way, for the pure joy of it, for the joy
To be back another day, for the pure joy of it, for the joy
Call it the eternal way
You can’t count on a wishing well
We make our heaven baby, we make our hell
Oh the walkin’ man walks, walkin’ man walks
Oh the talkin’ man talks, talk, talk, talk
Oh the lover boy loves like a lover boy does
Down, down, down by the riverside
A bird I heard went into overdrive
To burn and learn and turn the way you’ve got to turn
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a woh woh
To grow and know and roll in the eternal flow
There’s a reason to love, for the pure joy of it
There’s a reason to share, for the pure joy of it
There’s a reason to dare
You can’t count on a wishing well,
We make our heaven baby, we make our hell
Oh the walkin’ man walks, walkin’ man walks
Oh the talkin’ man talks, talk, talk, talk
Oh the lover boy loves, like a lover boy does
Like a lover boy does
Oh the walking man walks, for the joy,
Oh the talking man talks, for the joy
Oh the lover boy loves, like a lover boy does
Like a lover boy does!
For the pure joy of it, for the pure joy of it…

4/Love Will Rescue You
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Someone's going to steal a soul today
On the borderline where innocence plays
In some parts of this world evil remains
You can't understand you can never explain
Under cover of night this boogeyman is real
He doesn't care what you dream, doesn't care what you feel
Someone's going to steal a life today
Under cover of night where innocence plays
Ooh, Where innocence plays
Ooh, Where innocence plays...
One day darling love will find it's way
Through the broken lives, through the struggle and pain
Someday child love will rescue you
And you'll believe again what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
There's an angel somewhere who's got her eye on you
She can show you just what love can do
One day child, well love will rescue you,
Rescue you…
You'll believe again what love can do
You'll believe again...
You'll believe what love can do,
You believe…
You'll believe what love can do
One day child love will rescue you
You'll believe again what love can do
One day child love will rescue you
And all your dreams and freedom will come true
You'll believe what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
You'll believe what love can do
You’ll believe what love can do
You believe what love can do
You believe what love can do…

5/Notes From A Silent Revolution
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
This old world on the razor’s edge
Ready or not we walk the thin ledge
Men with clubs beatin’ women and child
Don’t like darling not by a mile
Licensed by the tiny mind
But for a fool that’s just their style
Don’t like it darlin’ not by a mile
The tiny mind and its rabid smile
But maybe baby you can raise a voice
In total silence in a march of choice
To dream to dream only you can choose
When freedom’s gone what you got to lose?
When freedom’s gone what you got to lose?
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that made this shimmering pool
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that turns a wise man from a fool
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that made this love so clear
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that brought this love so near
If your side won why you doin’ this?
Beatin’ someone with a stick
Your thugs are big and their minds are fat
If your side won why you act like that
There’s thugs for hire down the street
A wild dream of freedom in everyone else you meet
A wild dream of freedom in everyone else you meet!
Those are lovers in the street
A little bit of love in everyone you meet
This old world may seem so cruel
Terrifying and beautiful, terrifying and beautiful
Terrifying and beautiful…
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that made this freedom sound
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that makes this world go round
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that makes this thundering sound
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that makes this world go round
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that makes this thundering sound
It’s not the rules, it’s the Spirit that makes this world go round!

6/Caravan Of Souls
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Let love make you unafraid love
And then your soul love will say what it must say love
One day maybe our vibration will turn round
Every step will be upon the sacred ground
Ooh La la la la
One day on our journey to the stars love
We’ll know exactly who we are love
We’re on the caravan of countless souls
We cannot stop, we cannot say no
Like some solar wind blowing across the stars
We’re being carried to who we are
We got two hands, we’re blessed today
One so we can be helped up on any troubled day
The other to help others up along their way
One day maybe our vibration will turn round
Every step will be upon the sacred ground,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh…
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Let love make you unafraid love
And then the soul love will say what it must say love
We’re on the caravan of countless souls
We cannot stop, we cannot say no
When we know nothing is by chance
Then we step inside the sacred dance
Love, Love’s going to roll you
Love, Love’s going to roll you
Love, Roll your soul, Love, Roll your soul
Love, Tumble and throw you
Carry and hold you
Love’s going to roll you, Love
Roll your soul, roll your soul
Love, Roll your soul
Love, Tumble and throw you
Carry and hold you
Let love make you unafraid love
Then the soul love will say what it must say love
We’re on the caravan of countless souls
We cannot stop, we cannot say no
Like some solar wind blowing across the stars
We’re being carried to who we are
Monkeys, monkeys, only think they run the show
There’s something moving faster than we could ever go
One day maybe our vibration will turn round
Every step will be upon the sacred ground
La la la la la la....la la la la
Ooh la la la la la
La la la la
Let love make you unafraid love
Then the soul love will say what it must say love
We’re on the caravan of countless souls
We cannot stop, we cannot say no
Ooh, ooh...

7/Very Old Bones
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
I was born on Calvary Row
I never knew how much I didn’t know
‘Til I saw the face, yeah I saw the face behind the sun
And those billion, billion things she could become
All my theories, all my theories, they’ve been shattered
And these very old bones seem to hardly matter
Yet I know they have their place, these very old bones,
These very old bones are the human race, these very old bones
Hey, hey have you heard…
Of the merciful Princess Bodhisattva Girl?
She who looks down upon, she looks down upon
The sufferings of this world
And she may never be free now until all, all are free now
These very old bones are the human race uh huh
And every old bone has its numbered place uh huh
Ten thousand angels walk this very garden
Spiraling darkness has no hold on me
These vaults of treasures surely open
When our eyes learn to truly see
So just beyond where our eyes can see
We’re bound to penetrate these mysteries
I swear I saw,
I saw the face behind the sun
And those billion, billion things she had just done
These very old bones, oh they lay there shattered
And these very ancient dreams have their patterns
Yet I know they have their place, these very old bones
These very old are the human race, these very old bones
Yet I know they have their place, these very old bones
Every old bone is the human race, these very old bones…

8/The Madras Bombay Line
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise and Nadia Deleye
Here we go again on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’
Some they didn’t make it
Though many others tried
Some they just stayed at home
Worried and weeped and sighed
Got on a train, didn’t have no fare but I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
Hey you dreamers do exactly what you’ve got to do,
To make that dream a part of you...
The conductor told me...
‘“Got no money, can’t ride this time...”
He said “Son, you’ve go to exit The Madras Bombay Line!”
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some...
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
We rode some!
I showed the conductor my guitar
On ‘The Madras Bombay Line’...
I said that “I could play some tunes...”
He said “Son that could be fine...
Bring some joy to these brothers and sisters here,
And for a moment in time make all their troubles disappear...
The Stars and the Wind can be our guide
The path of Thunder and Lightnin’ by our side...”
These people they didn’t need no joy
They were tapped in all the time...
And their smiles lit up the world on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’...
Take a chance and find that path across your boundary line!
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some
We rode some...
It all happened on one night on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’,
Dreams they flowed like rivers as the world she passed on by...
Hey you dreamers do exactly what you’ve go to do
To make that dream a part of you...
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
Come and ride on the train, ride on the train with me,
Come and go to the end of the line with me,
Take a chance on a path and cross your boundary line,
What anybody told you don’t matter this time
Come and ride on a train ride on a train with me
The Stars and the Wind can be our freedom guide,
The Path of Thunder and Lightnin’ by our side
We can ride, ride to be free
What anybody told you don’t matter this time!

9/Not A Crime
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Bosa Nova is not a crime
In the breadth of Heaven is where I wanna spend my time
You say over there’s the fence on the border line
But Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Chorus:
Somebody doesn’t want you to be free
For you to be you and me to be me
Somebody doesn’t want you to be free,
For you to be you and me to be me
Bosa Nova is not a crime
Livin’ Joy is how I wanna spend my time
The edge of space can be my borderline
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Chorus:
Somebody doesn’t want you to be free
For you to be you and me to be me
Somebody doesn’t want you to be free
For you to be you and me to be me
That’s why we’re here, what we’re looking for
For you to be free and me to be me
That’s why we’re here, what we’re looking for
For you to be free and me to be me
Bosa Nova is not a crime
Livin’ Love is how I wanna spend my time
A thousand miles from here at the end of the line
You can meet me if you got the time…
Chorus:
We’ve been knocking on the door from the inside
From the inside, from the inside…
And when we’re free we’ve got nothing to hide
Nothing to hide, nothing to hide
We’ve been knocking on the door from the inside
From the inside, from the inside
Hey now, when you’re free you’ve got nothin’ to hide
Nothing to hide, nothing to hide
Bosa Nova is not a crime
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Bosa Nova is not a crime
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
We’ve been knocking on the door from the inside,
From the inside, from the inside
And when we’re free, we’ve got nothing to hide,
Nothing to hide, nothing to hide
We’ve been knocking on the door from the inside,
From the inside, from the inside
Hey now, when you’re free you’ve got nothing to hide,
Nothing to hide, nothing to hide
Bosa Nova is not a crime, Bosa Nova is not a crime
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line
Rhythm and Blues can cross that line!

10/Open Secret
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Arrangement and Instrumental Break by Dean Brodrick
You never learned it, you never heard it
You never learned that at school
Oh baby it’s an open secret
If you look well you may see
Hey now, this old world was made for you and me
Oh darling it’s an open secret,
Ask any child ‘cause they can see
There’s no border ‘round our souls,
No boundary ‘tween you and me
Do you think the high flying bird sees the border line?
That bird might as well be blind to the ways of foolish men
Who want some locked out
And some locked in
It’s hard baby hard when you think that love
Is outside yourself I know,
Searching everywhere but there
It’s a hard and a lonely road
Nobody thought it, nobody taught it
Not at that dusty old school
You never learned it, you never heard it,
You never learned that at school
Oh darling to find the wonder...
Though you may travel a million miles to be free
To see the wonder...to see the wonder
Oh baby it’s an open secret
If you look well you may see
Hey now, this old world was made for you and me
Oh darling it’s an open secret,
Ask any child ‘cause they can see
There’s no border ‘round our souls,
No boundary ‘tween you and me
Do you think the high flying bird sees the border line?
That bird might as well be blind to the ways of foolish men
Who want some locked out
And some locked in
To all spirits wild and free
Born to uncovering eternity
That’s where we are and we’ll always be
Nobody told you, nobody showed you,
You never learned that at school
Nobody taught it, nobody thought it,
It wasn’t part of their rules
Oh darling to see the wonder,
Though you may travel a million miles to be free
To see the wonder,
Oh darlin’ to see the wonder
Though you may travel a million miles to be free
To see the wonder, to see the wonder…
Oh baby it’s an open secret,
If you look, well you may see
Hey now, this old world was made for you and me
Oh Darlin’, It’s an open secret,
Ask any child ‘cause they can see
There’s no border ‘round our souls,
No boundary ‘tween you and me
It’s an open secret, it’s an open secret, it’s an open secret,
Everybody knows it’s an open secret
Everybody knows it’s an open secret, yeah, everybody knows,
It’s an open secret,
Everybody knows it’s an open secret,
Everybody knows it’s an open secret,
Yeah, everybody knows!

11/Find Me A River
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Going to find me a river, that’s what I need
Talk to the river, learn how to be free
And when the river speaks I can find
How to touch my little bit of peace of mind
Talk to the river and when the wind is low
The river surely answers as she only knows
Going to find me a river, find me a river
When you’ve been rolling ‘round a long, long time
Searching for that river deep in your mind
Some people need a dream, a dream of gold
And everybody wants a hand to hold
We all need that river darling clear and clean
That’s everybody’s wish, that’s everybody’s dream
Going to find me a river, find me a river
Going to find me a river where the heart is pure
One could look forever that’s for sure
Find me a river, find me a river
Somewhere straight ahead in this mystery
There lies the pure river to bless you and me
Going to find me a river, find me a river
Before all you own slips away
In this temporary kingdom on this temporary stay,
Birds fly that path by the stars at night
Guided by love, so it’ll be alright
Oh, oh, oh, high on the rhythm of invisible sounds
Oh, oh, oh, high on the maker on invisible rounds
Heard you’ve got an empire darling under the sun
Like to join your empire and have some fun
Add a little loving to your recipe
Add a little freedom to make all people free
Add some rights of the human kind
Add the clear river to make it all Divine
Going to find me a river, that’s what I need
Find me a river, find me a river
Find me a river...

12/Mountains Of The Moon
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
I was down on my knees, howling at the moon
I was begging her please, release me from these ruins
Forget what you want
Forget what you know
Take a deeper look at this magic picture show
This love is old now child, older than the sun
Older than the Mountains of the Moon
Even a daffodil finds her endless thrill
In the wind, the rain and the sun
I dreamed I wandered through the holy fire
On a tightrope of burning desire
Woke this morning and I was dreaming still
Dream a world and you may find
You might have what you had in mind
This love is older than the Mountains of the Moon
Sing your song now child
Your little song of freedom
Find you peace, your little piece of Eden
Even a humming bird may have the final word
For you today
You can be a soldier of the sun
Or a drifter towards the one
Every trail gets you there just the same
So climb your mountain to the Milky Way
Love and love your life away
This love is older than the Mountains of the Moon
Some wave of ecstatic emotion
Came to flood my mind’s commotion
To help me to see all that can be seen
Even a daffodil finds her endless thrill
In the wind, the rain and the sun

13/Eagle Boy
Lyrics by Danny Paradise
Music by Danny Paradise and Bobby Parrs
Seemed like an ordinary day
But I should’ve known better to ever think that way
A hint of azure in the sky and Eagle Boy comes riding by
A long time ago was the sound of the big drum
A long time ago was the singing of the bird
And when that bird was heard, its notes and inflections
All the elders said “Follow those directions”
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down
I took a walk upon the shore of knowing
I drifted with my oldest friend, the sun, a glowing
And with the wisdom of the wind
A butterfly dropped by with a word to bring
I remember all the elders said “Follow those directions,
Every day we grow, everyday is a resurrection
Everyday we grow,
Everyday day we grow, everyday is a resurrection
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down
A shadow catcher on my trail
One false move and she begins to wail
And for that old dark night of the soul
She rise and fall, she comes and goes
Just the other day I made my decision
Every day we grow, every day is a resurrection
Just the other day Eagle Boy came ridin’
Just the other day my soul went flyin’
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down and all around
On this most stirring, stirring day
I should’ve known better to think in an ordinary way
The sound of the big drum in my mind
Keeping rhythm with the flow of time
Just the other day, made my decision
Joy in the air, love everywhere
Just the other day, Eagle Boy came ridin’
Just the other day, my soul went flyin’
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes up and down,
Wheel of fortune goes round and round
Wheel of fortune goes round and round and all around
Everyday day we grow, every day we grow
Everyday we grow…

Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Hey baby take a walk with me
I’m going to be a wheel someday, I’m going to be a wheel
A thousand boys love you but are they free?
I’m going to be a wheel someday, I’m going to be a wheel
We’ll cross over the borderline,
I’m going to to be a wheel someday, I’m going to be a wheel
We won’t look back not even one time,
I’m going to be a wheel someday, I’m going to be a wheel
We won’t stop walking ‘til this whole wide world is free
And you know darling that starts with you and me,
We won’t stop walking ‘til every river runs clear
We won’t stop walking ‘til the end of fear
Maybe take you walking on the Milky Way
I’m going to touch the stars some day,
I’m going to touch the stars
I’m going to love you ten thousand ways
I’m going to touch the stars today, I’m going to touch the stars
The forest sings the future sounds
You’ve got to get off your merry-go-round
Hear the voices of the past in the river song
The dream I dream rides a passing cloud
Maybe take you walking on the Milky Way
I’m going to touch the stars some day
I’m going to touch the stars
I’m going to love you ten thousand ways
I’m going to touch my star today, I’m going to touch my star
Wont’ stop walking ‘til there’s a love-olution,
That’s the dream, that’s the end solution
We won’t stop walking ‘til this whole wide world is free
And you know darling it starts with you and me
The forest sings the future sounds
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Hear the voices of the past in the river song
The dream I dream rides a passing cloud
We won’t stop walking ‘til this whole wide world is free
And you know darling that starts with you and me
We won’t stop walking ‘til every river runs clear
Won’t stop walking ‘til the end of fear
Won’t stop walking ‘til the Love-olution
That’s the dream, that’s the end solution
No we won’t stop walking, won’t stop walking
Won’t stop walking, won’t stop walking…

15/Dreamtiger
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise
Got a dream, got a mask
Got a beat, got a task
Got to go very far
Got to find out who we are
Got a roll, got a soul
Got a past that’s gone at last
Got a place we cannot see
Got a place in this mystery
Got a dream, so make it real
Born with orders that are sealed
To find them out you must kneel
And all will be revealed
Like the sacred in the dust
Like what you won’t do and what you must
And the sun illuminates the heart and the fate
For the Dreamtiger coming near
All those dreams that you fear
Face it darling, well let it go
And so touch your immortal soul
Dream a dream just for you
Dream a dream and make it true
Don’t know when the storm will roll
But get yee ready darlin’ ready your soul
Got to move with the breeze
Like a butterfly through the trees
As a tiger beyond control
So the path of the limitless soul
Got a dream, so take a chance
Got to rock and got to dance
Got to roll, roll your soul
Over and over and over
Got to move with the breeze
Like a butterfly through the trees
As the tiger beyond control
So the path of the limitless soul
For the Dreamtiger coming near
All those dreams that you fear
Face it darling, well let it go
And so touch your immortal soul
Yeah baby, got to dream
Darlin’, darlin’, got to dream
Baby got to dream
Yeah baby, got to dream
Make your dream just for you
See the sacred in the dust
Got to do what you must
Yeah baby,
You know you’ve got to dream
That’s all you’ve got to do is dream
Yeah baby, got to dream…
