As I walk through the darkest shadows I see the spiritual battles Being waged in this time these dangerous crimes Broadcasted through the channels With the mass deception and the drastic weapons I pray for all our families For the little ones may the future come With peace for our planet Take me to the lions gates Jah show me the way To live my life in the light of pure peace and grace Jah Rasta Fari highest of heights guide I home Jah Rasta Fari highest of heights guide us on With the strength of a lion and the truth of Zion I march through Babylon With the strength of a lion and the truth of Zion I march through Babylon May people rise with the light so bright And all our eyes upon The truth inside all sacred life Oooh Jah guide us on Take me to the lions gates Jah show me the way To live my life in the light of pure peace and grace Take me to the lions gates Jah show me the way To live my life in the light of pure peace and grace Jah Rastafari highest of heights us guide home Jah Rastafari highest of heights us guide on The ancient lions come from Lyra Carry the wisdom of Zion Passed to the Syrians on to Pleiadians On earth Egyptian and Mayan Well the true peace keepers Who sleep in the temple And set a universal example Of compassion and patience Goodness and gracious I see you in my meditation And in time of struggle deep in the jungle I call upon the lion vibration To protect our children and pass on the wisdom For all beings liberation Take me to the lions gates Jah show me the way To live my life in the light of pure peace and grace Take me to the lions gates Jah show us the way To live our lives in the light of pure peace and grace Jah Rastafari highest of heights us guide home Jah Rastafari highest of heights us guide on

I can feel these memories in my bone marrow I used to sit by the stream and make my own arrows Whole tung and buffalo in a healing flow We bend down low and together we blow On the embers remember the prayers of our souls Our Ancestors bless us the fire grows Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Aho mitakuye oasin Check my flow and my beat boxin I was walking in my moccasins And Talking to a lot of kin The Rocks the plants the animals and yeah they we’re all droppin This Rhythms and flows so sacred Prayers and blessings stories ancient I sing this song for every being all of my relations I walk path this heart centered avoiding the temptations Lying stealing cheating drugs well they said you have to take them But I threw in the fir coming back to my true nature Nature Love truth peace and freedom Ancient ones who teach deep breathing Water animal rock plant yeah every living kingdom And If they aligned with darkness then I don’t really need them. Yo Im talking about some real true freedom Whole tung and buffalo in a healing flow We bend down low and together we blow On the embers remember the prayers of our souls Our Ancestors blessed us the fire grows Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho We about to drop this flow I just want to let you now Any place that it glow Back to the heart center When I enter portals other dimensions In time and space I got to interlace the bass with snare snaps and Hand claps and feet around the earth I know what im just worthy Cause im universal consciousness This flow is bliss But its darkness too So unraveling, time traveling And Opening , Im hoping when I move to the next dimension Groovin it Grounded in the Earth, So I got to put my roots in The truth is we all just learning moments space and time is burning Look into the fire learning many lessons many blessings Many prayers of many times, many rhymes of many places So then I feel that bass kick back to the snare snap Back in the shed when I was a little youngster Trying to get out my anger it was coming from down under So I threw it into the fire just to let it go I drop and move it back to my heart center and let it glow Whole tung and buffalo in a healing flow We bend down low and together we blow On the embers remember the prayers of our souls Our Ancestors blessed us the fire grows Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Whole tung and Buffalo and the fire grows Sometimes that pain burn inside of me But can't find a way to cry you see Find so much blocks and restriction I feel the friction Sometimes there so much pain inside of me Feel like the rain inside of me That just couldn't flow But now the fire grows And im sitting and im watching and Im letting it heat That's right and Im putting it all into a beat Just to give it away and put it in the fire Look into my self into my hearts deepest desires If nobody was judging me and everybody was loving me Then what would I be, what could I see What would I do, how would I live my dreams And how would I put my love into every single thing And share it all around with every single being Free in my soul just like the coals Free in the flames, in the light inside of my mind Multi dimensions there's so much to find See I live before and the door is open To the present moment All of my hopes and prayers forming into physical in the air Now its in the visible im seeking it everywhere The Manifestation of all these creations Im walking like the web of Ton an See Whole tung and buffalo in a healing flow We bend down low and together we blow On the embers remember the prayers of our souls Our Ancestors blessed us the fire grows Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho We Bring the healing medicine all night long Positive vibrations when we’re singing our songs We Bring the healing medicine And We Bring it so strong Drumming and chanting and we singing our songs Y’all can Heal it feel it It’s time to let it go Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Y’all can Heal it feel it It’s time to let it go Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wanna ho Yeah we put it in the fire Cause its time to let it go Hey yanna wanna hey Yanna wann ho

about

Yes friends We Are Alive!

I feel it is essential, amidst all the challenges we face, that we come together and choose to live in ways that bring us most alive, to help each other live from our hearts, sharing our love, and creating an experience where our truth guides our path.

We know these moments of deep presence, where our entire beings come alive and feel and dance to the music of the universe.

We are here to inspire each other to create new possibilities of beauty on Earth.

Oliwa and I recorded this album in Ojai, in a studio under the oak trees and red tailed hawks. Each morning we passed a talking stick to share our gratitude for life and this opportunity to create music together and share it with you.

I feel so blessed for the unique expression of sounds, rhythms, friendship, and love of each musician. I feel my heart so happy to record with my sun Alaeika and see him learning and growing amidst this special music family.

In this year past year I traveled to the Peruvian Amazon, the mountains of California, and many islands in Indonesia. These songs came to me in these beautiful places, and I recorded and included live nature sounds.

As these vibrations touch your being, I pray that you feel vibrant energy, that your connection to friends, nature and source are strengthened, and that you feel incredibly alive.

One Love, World Peace, Shining Lion
