Lyrics & Music by John Zay
Fell into the longest dream I looked around and found the queen
she was there, waiting for me all along
Taken on a journey through both time and space nothing's a waste
in the dark I felt a love so strong
Welcome to your mind's eye feel free to look inside
Welcome to your mind's eye it's time to take a ride
I don't want to lose control when I feel like I'm falling apart
Letting go becomes so hard when you don't know where to start
You had chosen to go first you broke the ice it wasn't always nice
the path was there by your design
So welcome to your mind's eye feel free to look inside
Welcome to your mind's eye you can see the pain go by
I don't want to lose control when I feel like I'm falling apart
Letting go becomes so hard when you don't know where to start
This is our journey we fall into each others
arms and we give ourselves freely to love...to love....to love

Eshu Amenia
Music & Lyrics by John Zay
Ah....Eshu Amania
Walked on down the aisle with charisma and a smile
On his head a hat one side was red the other black
The sane appeared insane, got caught up in his game
Reminded of the dream that nothing’s what it seems
Who rolls the dice when it’s up in the air
Let them fall to the ground, let them fall
Who pays the price when we all seem to care
Let them run to the cause, let them run
Sat me by a tree then he told me what to see
Looked into my eyes then he took me by suprise
I woke up in a daze, my life had been a phase
as if I read a book that told me how to look
Who rolls the dice when it’s up in the air
Let them fall to the ground, let them fall
Who pays the price when we all seem to care
Let them run to the cause, let them run
Ah....Eshu Amania
We don’t need a sign cause the writing’s on the wall
We don’t need the time we’re just witnessing the fall
Reflections show the lies you can see the trickster roam
Smoke and mirrors
Who rolls the dice when it’s up in the air
Let them fall to the ground, let them fall
Who pays the price when we all seem to care
Let them run to the cause, let them run
Ah....Eshu Amania

Thirteen Realms
Music and Lyrics by John Zay
Listen to the sounds of laughter
Probing through your mind
Sifting through the endless chatter
All the madness dies
Step into the True dimension
Breaking open the head
If you want the gifts of nature
It’s time to wake up from the dead
This is the time of wonder
All the children take us by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes
Listen to the native elders
Holding up the signs
Given to us by creators
To voice the silent cries
Tune into the hum in your ears
Gain the resource state
Picking up the cosmic matter
Speaking through your dna
This is the time of wonder
All the children take us by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes
One who trusts in love will find a way
One who trusts in love will find a way
This is the time of wonder
All the children take you by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes
This is the time of wonder
All the children take you by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes

Yesterday Has Gone Away
Music & Lyrics by John Zay
If I could hold your your pain
in the palm of my hand
If I could feel my way
through the distance of the past
If I could look into
the choices that you've made
I would breathe right through
the memories as they fade
cause I appreciate your pain
for you there is no shame
so why don't you come home again
If I could find a way
to go back in time
I would take your hand
and tell you it's all right
cause there is nothing I would change
You're where you need to be today
so why don't you come home again
Yesterday has gone away
Yesterday has gone away
And If took the blame
would it give back another day?
And if I looked away
would it help you to feel safe?
Cause your lost in your mind
and it's you I need to find
so why don't you come home again
Yesterday has gone away
Yesterday has gone away
Yesterday has gone away
Yesterday has gone away

Yemaya
Music and Lyrics by John Zay
Eyes down on the world below
Seems like everybody just wants to know
What’s to come and what’s to go
It makes a difference when you’re looking to grow
I nearly lost my way
but now I’m here to stay
Eyes up to the heavens above
seems like everybody's looking for love
so much work but there’s never enough
we weren’t put here just to buy all this stuff
I nearly lost my way
but now I’m here to stay
Yemaya smooths rocks all the time
she holds us up through the changing tides
cradles us through the days and nights
she gives us life when we’re looking to die
I nearly lost my way
but now I’m here to stay
There's so much more at stake
I nearly lost my way

Here In This World
Music & Lyrics by John Zay
To be in love is like a new day
You take it on in every way
You see the stars you see the sun at play
You take her home and find out her name
You let her in this isn’t a game
You treat her well, you find that she treats you the same
Frozen Lovers remember your dreams from the past
The girl and boy decide to make it last
Don't be afraid to open your heart up and ask
The girl and boy decide to make it last
And if you think there won’t come a day
When love is cold and you don’t want to stay
Then you may not want to give your heart away
But all in all it comes down it this
Forgiveness is the greatest risk
So let it go, it could only take one kiss
Frozen Lovers remember your dreams from the past
The girl and boy decide to make it last
Don't be afraid to open your heart up and ask
The girl and boy decide to make it last
Our time is here in this world
You're the light in my life
Frozen Lovers remember your dreams from the past
The girl and boy decide to make it last
Don't be afraid to open your heart up and ask
The girl and boy decide to make it last
Our time is here in this world
You're the light in my life.......Here in this world

Valentine’s Day
Lyrics & Music By John Zay
Test Water, Test Water…
I think about all the reasons that you are perfect for me
I think about all the reasons I need you to feel me
I want you to know I’ve waited for you
I’ve waited for you; I’m done being through with our love
My heart can’t take this anymore
In the daytime
At the nighttime
With the evening sun
At the break of dawn
You’re in my mind
In my mind
I can feel you all the time
Cause its the way your eyes
Speak from inside
Telling me you are mine
In the daytime
At the nighttime
With the evening sun
At the break of dawn
You’re in my mind
Give me some time
To show you I'm here to stay
I want to share with you
I want to care about you
Give me what I need - my love
Mmm, my love, Mmm, my, my
Ohh don’t go too far away
There’s no reason to stray
From your home it’s in your heart
Everything else is just a false start
In the daytime
At the nighttime
With the evening sun
At the break of dawn
You’re in my mind
In my mind
I can feel you all the time
Cause its the way your eyes
Speak from inside
Telling me you are mine
In the daytime
At the nighttime
With the evening sun
At the break of dawn
You’re in my mind
Give me some time
To show you I'm here to stay
Baby Please don’t betray our love
I’ve laid all my feelings out on the line
I w ant nothing but the truth you hold inside
Don’t throw it away
Don’t throw it away – I love you
It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day....
