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

02. Find A Mirror
C 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

06. Release For Peace
C2006 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 ………..

14. We Have Faith
C 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.
