    LYRICS TO THE SONGS IN THIS EPISODE:
    THERE IS NO END
    There is no end to who I am.
    I must manage 'till the end.
    To make a story once again, 
    With a me I must defend.
    This self creation keeps me safe.
    This is just how I know my place.
    Even if there is the pain, 
    At least I know just who I am.
    Sometimes I feel the flow 
    Of something I can't know.
    It takes a simple thing.
    A miracle it brings; 
    A unity, 
    But then it fades, you see.
    In this world I can see, 
    This clever mind deceiving me.
    With each story I renew, 
    I push away from life and you.
    The more I try, the less I see.
    A way to change this mind made me.
    If I could stop, then I would not, 
    And something else might come to be.
    Sometimes I feel the flow
     Of something I can't know.
    It takes a simple thing.
    A miracle it brings; 
    A unity,
    But then it fades, you see.
    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison
     
    WHO'S WATCHING
    Am I here? 
    In this moment All alone? 
    Wishing to disown 
    What I've become 
    There are so many voices.
    They all imprison me.
    And I can't seem to see 
    Who’s watching? 
    If you think you know 
    The mind and its desires.
    Think again and know 
    The consciousness required 
    Even though my love seems true 
    There's claiming and possession too 
    True love can never find me 
    Who’s watching? 
    If you wish to live 
    A life of sinless virtue 
    There is no one here 
    Who can begin to teach you 
    Virtue makes abundance flow 
    Then desire begins to grow 
    Then peace can never reach you 
    Who’s watching?
    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison
     
    SARVE PRAYER

    (Translation) 
    All be Happy 
    All be free 
    All be free of disease 
    All creatures have well being 
    All creatures have no misery

    I BELIEVE
    I Believe for every drop of rain that falls, 
    A flower grows; 
    As life must flow. 
    I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, 
    A candle glows; 
    And we all know.
    I believe for everyone who goes astray, 
    Someone will come To show the way. 
    I believe, I believe. 
    I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer 
    Will still be heard; 
    By us all 
    I believe that someone in the great somewhere, 
    Hears every word; 
    We all can hear 
    Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, 
    Or touch a leaf, 
    Or see the sky The I know why; 
    We need to flow 
    With life we know 
    We know...
    ℗ 2010 Patricia Dennison
     
    I AM
    I Am... 
    I Am Light 
    I Am All 
    I Am One
