OCEAN OF LOVE - updated
By Taras Lumiere
I’m sleeping with the windows and the doors wide open
In the islands full of dreamin’ and hopin’
Listening to the birds chirping up the day
And the rollin’ of the surf – swishing me away –ay-ay
Now I’m swimming in the ol’ Pacific Ocean
Kickin’ and pitchin’ in a yin-yang motion
Wavin’ past the horizon line
On top of the world and it’s all mine
It’s a big love…an Ocean of Love!
A Big Big Love… an Ocean of Love!
I’m swingin’- it’s a party on a catamaran
Full moon above, ripe sunset in my hand, right in my hand
Dolphins from deep come up to my feet
Smile and lead the way - they’re leaping...they got love
A Big Big Love…an Ocean of Love!
I’m floating on it, riding with it, oh- that Ocean of Love!
I’m snorkelin’ in iridescent green and blue
With psychedelic fish and a squid or two
Holding hands with my very best friend
In a sea of wonder that never ends
I’m gazing through the palms and the coconuts
Trade wind blowing by our huts
The moon will rise as the sun drops down
And I heard a great hum come all around – Big Love!
Big Big Love…an Ocean of Love!
I’m floating on it, riding with it, oh- that Ocean of Love!

Can’t Stop That Woman From Talking (updated)
By Taras Lumiere
She stops and chats with the ladies
I’ve got plans; I’m spinning plates in the air
She savors each conversation
While I’m itching to get out of there
Sometimes I feel like a stranger
I won’t come around to visit or call
I say I hate to sound superficial
She says “You might have to learn to talk small…
Get with d’people some”
I can’t stop that woman from talking
She’s got her own mind to express
She says “Honey, you can ask for what you want”
I say “I’m trying to make do with less”
I sometimes sound like a preacher
Talking down from my fat cloud
I say “It’s a shame nobody seems to listen”
She says “ But does it have to be so loud & proud”…no… no…no
I can’t stop that woman from talking
When I come home and there’s a phone in her ear
I say “I’m tired and I’m hungry for my dinner.”
She smiles. “Well it’s business call, dear.”
Yada ya Yada yada Ya Ya Ya (x 3) Yaaaa…
I can’t stop that woman from talking
She’s always got a nice thing to say
Her lips got a knack for such sweetness
I know — cuz I kiss them each day.
(Can’t stop that woman…I love that sweet little voice…come and sing with me…yada yada yada)

New Rockabye (Wyatt’s Song)
By Taras Lumiere
It took a little babe. It took a little baby.
To slow me down and bring me here
To be so simple, be so near to this angel divine.
It took a little babe.
It could get cold out there. Yeah, it’s getting old out there.
But I will keep you safe and warm,
Protect you from all harsh and harm.
We’ll stay warm inside if it gets cold out there
I’m gonna rock this soul, this little one,
I’m gonna rock you till your day is done.
This is a real good start. You’ve got a real good start.
Love is easy and it feels so right
And all day long you come on bright – you’re shining, shining…
This is a real good start.
I’m taking care f you. I’ll take good care of you.
I love to watch all the new things you do.
And I don’t mind if you pee or poo.
It’s just part of the job - taking care of you.
You’ve got faith in me! You’ve got such faith in me!
I’ll do my best to earn your trust
And if life gets rough you can make a fuss - wake me up.
Keep having faith in me.
I’m gonna rock this soul, this little one
I’m gonna rock you, baby, and we’ll see what comes…
It’s your soul! And my soul!
it’s your soul.
And you’re sooool low, sooool wide
Sooool high, sooool low
Soooo high
(Good night, Wyatt... sleep tight…)

Dig Down Low
By Hunt Hyde (additional lyrics and changes by Taras Lumiere)
Angels up there in heaven fall down to earth and keep forgetting.
The ground can be so dark and cold, holding mud and muck, maybe gold!
So I start – Dig Down Low.
Got to see, what's been hidden in this hole.
Today I woke up still trying. Yoga on the floor – the joints are crying!
Stretch into the sweat and heat. Bring my head right to my feet!
So I start – Dig Down Low.
I’m a downward dog looking at an empty bowl.
So I’ll get younger every year by working out the oldest fear.
Hear the stories that muscles tell. And a secret held in every cell!
It’s the only temple that I know. A good earth for my seed to grow.
The harvest will be mine in time. But first the shovel & the hoe –let’s dig!
Down down down, dig down, dig down…. Diggetta diggetta…down
And the body does not lie. And there’s a smile for every cry.
And a space that opens wide, where pieces fit and Peace abides.
Another start – Dig Down Low.
Take my part in the hole of my soul
In the whole of my soul
In the whole of my soul…my soul…

Earthquake Song
By Taras Lumiere
Don’t let the earthquake bring you down
Don’t let the tornado push you around
Don’t let the ocean wash you up and take you away
Whether or not you’re tough when the weather gets rough,
You’d better get out of the way …and say
CHORUS:
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
If you curse the wind that’s fanning the flames
If you’re scared or sad or looking for someone to blame…oh oh oh
Let those feelings out – and don’t be ashamed, cuz one thing I know
Whether or not you’re tough when you’ve lost all your stuff
You’re simply more than enough….so sing it
CHORUS:
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
So when the disaster’s done we’ll get a little rest
Put the clothes in the wash and clean up all the mess
And if there’s more trouble comin’ – we’ll give it our best, yes, yes, yes
But if I do look scared or unprepared
Lend me a hand …and sing
CHORUS:
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
We’re gonna get through this one too, we’re gonna get through
Oh yes we can
So if the earthquake brings you down...gonna get through
And if the tornado turns you around...gonna get through
If the ocean washes you up...gonna get through
If you feel that you're outta luck...gonna get through
etc.

Carlee's Song
By Taras and Diane Lumiere
What are you going to do with your heart? What are you going to do with your heart?
Put it on your sleeve for everyone to see…their illusions fall apart?
Cuz people will guess and gossip, let them say what they say
Why would you let that hurt you? Or darken your day?
I've seen you in love - and you lit up the whole room!
Laughing and joking, looking so smart and fine
Radiant…. as they brought bread and wine
The women were looking too, to see the light surrounding you.
What are you going to do with your heart? What are you going to do with your heart?
Bring it down to earth. Plant your dreams in a sacred garden.
Can you keep see them blooming…all that you are seeding?
Will you keep your hopes up – even while you're weeding?
I've seen you in Love and you were dancing through it all!
Dressed for fun and the frolic, feet kicking rhythm
Swinging through changes, taking the kids with 'em
Everyday adventures, treasures got and given again and again…and again
What are you going to do ….?
Smile with the little ones under your wing, when the school day starts.
You keep see them blooming…through all they are feeling.
They learn and play and dance – just let love do the leading.
We go in and out of Love but Love is always here!
So what are you going to do with your heart?
What are you going to do?

Deva Deva (updated)
By Taras Lumiere
I went out one day to the garden – what do you think I see?
Little green heads, little green arms, dancing and waving at me!
I looked around to see if I was alone – if I’m losing my mind I don’t want no one to know
I stepped up to the little fella on my right and whispered way down low:
“Deva deva, is that you in there?
I don’t know if you can see me. I don’t know if you’re supposed to hear.
But I bet you can feel my tender touch and care
Deva deva, is that you in there?”
Summertime brings a very fine harvest and the earth is warm and brown
And every leaf and every vine began to start humming their sound
Mmmm, mmmm, mmm, mmm mm mmmmmm mmm mm mmmmmm
I picked up my strings, the deva pulled out her horn.
The whole garden was a swinging like on that very first morning!
Deva Deva, we’re quite a- kin
You can play your rutabaga* and I’ll play my violin
And we’ll sing to the One who brings sunshine and rain
Deva Deva, come on let’s play it again
Now whenever I go back to the garden, I bless those gifted guys
I give them a drink, clean up their hair, give ‘em room to reach for the skies
Mmmm, mmmm, mmm, mmm mm mmmmmm
We’ll keep growing, we’ll keep blowing, we’ll keep reaping what we’ve been sowing!
Deva Deva, ah yesssss! Deva Deva Deva Deva...
You got me going!!!

Hello Marlowe
By Taras and Diane Lumiere
Coming to greet you in the morning
Our little girl in her own little room
Your Mommy and Daddy are so at home
Snuggling with you and forgetting the phone
Hello hello, Marlowe! Marlowe
Good to be home with you
When you’re hanging with your brother
He loves his little sister like no other
And when you learn to run, skip, and slide
Wyatt will be there by your side
Let’s go, let’s go, Marlowe, Marlowe
Let’s go find some music. Let’s go!
And the music is all around you
It’s like the angels have found you and they won’t leave
Like water it trickles and flows, swirls or slows..
Hey look who’s dancing - Mamma dancing!
Hello Marlowe!
Hey look who’s dancing - Daddy’s dancing!
Hello Marlowe!
Play with fingers, faces, and toes
Love to see who’s in there and tickle that nose
But whether you cry or sing the blues
It’s all your music of different hues
Follow that sound to Marlowe
Come see for yourself, Marlowe
Hello hello, Marlowe

Oh How Happy
Taras Lumiere
I was walking to the meeting house
I’d been struggling all day and I felt so tired
Night was falling but the street lights were coming up
I saw a friend - I said “Please” and he gave me a squeeze
And it got me rewired - from hard rock to alternative! And...
Oh how happy I am that I am that I am
Oh how happy I am
A new day is dawning on me
Oh how happy, Oh how happy, Oh how happy I am!
My bloodline reaches across to Ukraine
Old bones, just like the salt of the earth, the peasantry
And I came alive in New York, a Brave New World
Hallelujah I’m a witness to rebirth - living in liberty.
Yes, It’s good to be in America!
Oh how happy I am that I am that I am
Oh how happy I am
A new day is dawning on me
Oh how happy, Oh how happy, Oh how happy I am!
At 24 I sold my possessions
I told my Momma and Dad I had to leave what get what I deserved
And I sought my fame through a fantasy, having fun in California
And when the money was spent I was sick with grief - now I’ve returned to serve.
Father, I’m still your son!
Oh how happy I am that I am that I am
Oh how happy I am
A new day is dawning on me
Oh how happy, Oh how happy, Oh how happy I am!

When We Melt
By Taras & Diane Lumiere
I love to look at you, more and more
Feel that glow arise, rosy and warm
Can’t believe that you’re here within your own skin
When we melt
When I hold you, there’s a feeling inside
Smooth and silky, an easy ride
Love loves to linger on our hips and lips
When we melt
And through the dark, we see without eyes
You leave me no place to defend or deny
No place but Here, with you so near
Coming together
Finally falling, all spent and tender
Two sleepy cats curled up in surrender
And all of the world can dream forever
When we melt
