Returning to Joy

I've been having a hard time this week, as was probably quite obvious. Then someone reminded me yesterday to return to my Joy. That has always been music, and I don't know why I keep forgetting it.

So in order to share my Joy.....

I dug up some CD's I hadn't listened to in years and there it was.

This song makes me cry, laugh, and feel more in touch with Agape than anything else I can think of. Close to the emotions felt at the moment of my daughter's Birth, and the moment of looking into my Soul mate's eyes for the first time.

I saw this band live years ago, and it was more of a spiritual experience than I had ever experienced in any other group setting. They constantly remind me of what I have inside myself.

Live- They stood up for love
This is the Live version



Lyrics - from the Album

Naked lovers feel the blood beneath their veins
Electric nerves comunicate
With tiny explosions through our brains
Who is this energy that never left or came?
Give rise to passion the only glory
Of this human story

I give my heart and soul to the one

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
Lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
Even scientists say, everything is just light
Not created, destroyed but eternally bright
Masters in everytime lord in every place
Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
In spite of the hate

Who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?
Who lit the candle, started the fire,
Burnt down the fortress, the throne?
Who could house all the refugees in a single shack
Or a lowly bungalow?
Who lives in a different dimension, free from the
Struggles we know?

I give my heart and soul to the one

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
Lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
Even scientists say everything is just light
Not created, destroyed but eternally bright
Masters in everytime lord in every place
Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
We spend all of our lives goin’ out of our mind
They live in the light

We made it to the moon
But we can't make it home
Waitin’ on a rescue that never comes
Made it to the moon
But we can't make it home
Maybe home is where the heart is given up
To the one, to the one

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
Lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
They live, they

They stood up for love
Stood up for love
Stood up for love
They stood up for love
Stood up for love
Stood up for love

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
Masters in everytime
We spend all of our lives goin' out of our mind
Stood up for love
