Water drops

Verse 1
We are always asking, asking so much more.
We are always hoping, Santa’s at our door.
We behave like children, captured in a game of give and take
in which we calculate the income of the day.
Chorus
Yes, we are like little drops in oceans full of water,
and all we care about is quenching our own thirst.
Just try to look around and see what is flowing so abundantly,
there is enough to share, so why do you not dare?
Verse 2
We’re always demanding, think it is our right.
Many expectations, all is on our side.
We never ask the question, what do others need that we can give,
we’re simply too afraid, the bill will not be paid.
Verse 3
Can’t we change our vision, vision of what’s good?
Good for us and others, living by the truth ?
Can’t we build a world of peace, trust and generosity
in which the best of every soul is given to the whole?
Chorus
Yes, we are like little drops in oceans full of water,
and all we care about is quenching our own thirst.
Just try to look around and see what is flowing so abundantly,
there is enough to share, so why do you not care?

A real friend
03:39
|
|||
|
There was a day, a new day.
There was a sun, brightly shining high above,
and there was you, a friend,
who gently reached out for my hand,
saying what you had to say.
There was a light, a new light.
It touched my mind, clearing out the old conceptions.
You had the strength, my friend,
to tell the truth and understand
what I went through inside.
Chorus
You are a friend of mine.
You are a friend of invaluable worth.
It is your honesty, that I admire.
The greatness of your soul, rules out any lie.

A sword of fire
04:01
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I sat down near the window,
looking up on the trees in the lane.
I saw a man in a wheelchair
and a dog who seemed lost in the rain.
There was a child that was crying
and a mother who seemed in despair.
Many questions cropped up in my mind,
what where they all doing there?
Chorus
And with a sword made of fire
He is dividing the world into two.
On one side the just and the righteous,
on the other the honest and true.
There is a light that is shining
in every heart that is touched by His love.
It is for them that He's striving,
with patience, courageously marching in front.
Yes, with a sword made of fire.
Verse 2
Some are poor, some are wealthy,
some are weak, whereas others are strong.
Some succeed, some go under,
some repeat the same errors lifelong.
Some eat bread full of butter,
some eat pastries and others just rice.
There are those who do not seem to care,
where others, they try to be nice.
Verse 3
Please don't stay on the surface,
each detail of our life is profound.
Watch the causes and effects
and see how life's wheel turns around.
Every day we're invited
to choose again for the wrong or the right.
There's a spirit who's working behind it,
who dares to stand on his side?

Les affaires du monde

|
|||
|
Ce sont les affaires du monde,
Je porte son espoir dans mon cœur.
Et si mes intentions ont Sa bénédiction,
Elles apportent à tous le bonheur.
Verses
Chaque jour des décisions à prendre,
chaque jour de nouveaux défis.
Il n'y a aucun point de vue à défendre.
La sincérité c'est la meilleure stratégie.
Tellement d'opinions à inclure,
parfois des idées préconçues.
Mais si nous pensons tous à l'ensemble,
aucune voie ne reste sans issue.
Chorus
Ce sont les affaires du monde,
je porte son espoir dans mon cœur.
Et si mes prévisions ont Sa bénédiction,
elles apportent à tous le bonheur.
Ce sont les affaires du monde,
je porte son espoir dans mon cœur.
Et si nos créations ont Sa bénédiction,
elles apportent à tous le bonheur.

ما من ذرّة في الوجود، إلاّ و عليهاإسم من أسماء المعبود
There is not an atom in the universe that does not bear any of the names of the Beloved.

Il était une fois
03:46
|
|||
|
Il était une fois, dans un lointain pays,
il était une fois, tous les contes commencent ainsi...
Des histoires qui révèlent un amour pour l'éternité,
des histoires qui nous amènent dans un rêve du passé.
Il était une fois, dans un lointain pays...
Mais en plein milieu de ce rose
un véritable ogre repose,
avec une faim de loup et des yeux de feu.
N'oublions pas la sorcière,
dans sa marmite elle tourne la cuillère,
un bouillon bien douteux...
Et le dragon à sept têtes
qui se cache derrière la crête,
s'il apparaît, c'en est fini le jeu...
Il était une fois, une reine et un roi,
il était une fois, c'est l'histoire de vous et de moi.
Des contes qui dévoilent comment apprendre à aimer,
des contes qui au bout du compte, ne sont pas si dépassés.
Once upon a time, in a distant country,
once upon a time, all tales start like this…
Stories that talk about a love that lasts forever,
stories that take us to a dreamlike past.
Once upon a time, in a distant country…

Angel
02:33
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Down on the corner,
where roads cross and streets meet,
I saw her standing there.
Under the lamplights,
where cars pass with drumbeats,
nobody seemed to care.
Chorus
She's an angel out of time, an angel out of space.
She came to bring the Light on earth, to save the human race.
Hold on to the message that was given in your hands,
forgive us our resistance, soon we'll understand.
Verse 2
Don't think it's wasted,
the words that you're speaking,
those everlasting truths.
We keep on trying,
in spite of our failures,
some day we'll find the clue.
Verse 3
Deep down inside
there is a fire still burning,
make it a lasting flame.
Heaven is so far
and the earth a temptation,
deliver us from this game.

The journey
02:38
|
|||
|
He leads His creation through the world towards the good.
And one day salvation will come to crown the truth.
He teaches His people about the wrong and the right.
Until at the end of the journey, they will perceive the Light.
He guides all the creatures through the earth towards the sky.
And one day, tired from struggling, they’ll understand the reason why.

Live it
02:58
|
|||
|
This is the life I am living,
the life that I was given,
the reason I exist.
A life that should not be missed.
These are the lives we are living,
the lives that we were given,
the reason we exist.
Our lives should not be missed.
And if we wait for later and let the time pass by,
it is like an elevator, we will not get very high.
You know your destination, well then get up and walk.
After investigation, don't just sit down and talk.
This is the life I am living
the life that I have been given,
the reason I exist.
These are the lives we are living,
the lives we have been given,
the reason we exist.

La danse des aigles
04:22
|
|||
|
Le soleil chauffe la terre et déclenche des courants,
l’aigle parcourt les airs, au rythme du temps.
La chaleur crée des ondes, qui en montant,
génèrent des cercles, magiquement.
Les oiseaux se dirigent, l’œil perçant,
vers le centre du cercle, tourbillonnant.
Un coup de leurs ailes, ils prennent le tournant,
et se posent sur les vagues, majestueusement.
Une danse dans les sphères, un ballet planant.
J’aimerais les rejoindre et pourtant,
seule la pensée m’amène, dans l’instant,
au cœur de ce monde, mystérieusement.
Chorus
Dansez, dansez les aigles, bercés par le vent.
Dansez, dansez les aigles, un ciel flamboyant.
Dansez, dansez les aigles, vos plumes, en tombant,
nous apportent l’allégresse du soleil levant.

Wherever you go
02:07

|
Wherever you go,
you're in my thoughts.
Your spirit is free although,
you go your way.
Follow the path straight on,
don't look aside,
and at the end there'll be shining a light.
And at the end there'll be shining a light.
If you may doubt sometimes,
He'll ease your mind.
Wipe all your tears away,
leave it all behind.
Wherever you go,
each step is new.
Think of what's still to come,
of all that can be done.
Think of all that is still there waiting out for you.
We are like pearls, pearls in a chain.
We'll meet again.

Wheel of life

Verse
I asked the wind : “Where do you go, what’s your destiny?”
He said to me: “I’ll always blow that’s how it should be.”
I asked the corn: “Where do you go, what’s your destiny?”
It said to me: “I’ll try to grow that’s how it should be.”
Chorus
Driven by time you turn around,
you are the wheel of destiny.
Man's desires increase your speed, you are the wheel of life.
The quest for Light will never cease, wheel of destiny.
You're spinning into eternity and set us free.
Verse
I asked the horse: “Where do you go, what’s your destiny?”
He said to me: “I’ll pull the plough that’s how it should be.”
I asked the man: “Where do you go, what’s your destiny?”
He said to me: “I do not know, wait and you will see.”
I asked the man: “Where do you go, what’s your destiny?”
He said to me: “My deepest truth, that’s where I will be.”

تحت الشمس تلين قسوة الحَجَر
بالمحبة تلين قسوة قلب البَشَر
فرحة الإله، رقة الإنسان و بِشَر
The hardness of stones diminishes in the sun.
The harshness of the heart softens with love.
The gentleness of man is the joy of God.
La dureté des pierres s’adoucit au soleil.
La dureté du cœur s’adoucit avec l’amour.
La douceur de l’homme, c’est la joie de Dieu.
