Ethics of Care
03:03
|
|||
|
May I be attentive to others' needs
May I be perceptive to want to do good deeds
Be responsible and take things upon myself
Willing and able not feel forced by cards I'm dealt
We need an ethics of care
To right all the hardship
We need an ethics of care
Promoting fellowship
And then to do it right moving forth with competence
Succeed at what I might with compassionate common sense
Then be responsive expecting nothing in return
Humble in care I give promoting the good in turn

Julian; in a world all his own
Julian his no cares at all
Julian is simple as a wild flower
Julian; more sensible than anyone
And, he's taught me the meaning of sensibility
He's shown me the ways of sensitivity
He's the precious jewel called Julian
Julian seeks warmth in everything
Julian is so empowering
Julian has more sense than anyone
Julian, I long to be like you

Good Anyway
03:03
|
|||
|
Even if there is no
Heaven in the sky
Surely there's reason
To hope and to try
To find a moral ground
And aspire to ideals
To live your life
In touch with how you feel
To be good anyway
Whether we must
To be good anyway
As compassion
Motivates us
To be good anyway
Good anyway
Not born from guilt
In our gut we know it's right
Altruism
Is not at all forced from fright
Responsible to all
Adhering to ethics natural as sight
Listen to your heart
And then you'll find the might
Love guides the path we take guiding us gracefully
We can feel it in our very core upholding our beliefs genuinely

Searching for a Cure
03:20
|
|||
|
Innovating
And improving
Seeking to aid
With something human made
Persevering
As we are learning
Explore what we can
To help fellow man
So we might endure
Searching for a cure
Scientific lure
Searching for a cure
Striving for the best
So others can rest
Saving ourselves
Empowering ourselves
Engage in science to shelter from woes
Extending mercy toward downtrodden souls

The Houyunhms
03:24
|
|||
|
The Houyunhms are something far
More humane than we are
Be they whale or dolphins, beast
Or something else to say the least
The Houyunhms
Such empathy we must admire
To emulate we should aspire
To learn from them to become wise
Enriches us and our lives
The Houyunhms
We stand to gain from courtesy
It's good to learn humility
To cultivate an open view
Morality we all can choose

Hope
02:37
|
|||
|
Even when it seems
All has been lost
Something from within
Can put you in a dream
When you're down and out
Don't you despair
Have a little faith
Stand up proud and shout
We all have times of doubting
And facing trouble coping
But when we keep trying
There is hope
Holding to a vision
Take on each turn
Never give in
To blinding indecision
Bound to useful goals
Put to the test
Follow you own voice
Goodness can prevail

A Little Kindness
02:37
|
|||
|
It's tough enough
This world we call ours
It's not enough
To pray to the stars
We all can use help
In getting along
We all need patience
In the present tense
Show a little kindness
Give a little heart
Show a little kindness
It's a perfect start
When faced with pain
Or blind injustice
We can use a refrain
Offered by kindness
You know it's not easy
Living day to day
Promote compassion
To lighten the way
Find your inner peace
And extend it door to door
Maybe you'll find it helps you
At your very core
When met with heartache
We all need friends
Reach out to strangers
And help them mend

I Believe in Heaven
04:19
|
|||
|
When I'm alone with you I fell quite helpless
I'm timid as a flower
I'm impressed by you, I'm awed by your presence
Yet you know I control you
I've explored with you the deepest, darkest mysteries
Of each and every hour
And remembered with you each and every shower
The lightning and the power
I believe in heaven
When you're in my arms
When I touch, touch your body I feel a sense of compassion
When I look, look at you I see a worlds of vision
When I listen, listen to your voice I hear the world breathing
When I speak, speak, I sing out loud to all creation
May the devil, devil, devil, devil, devil take my soul
Should I ever forget you

Spirit Filled with Love
03:07
|
|||
|
More than just a purpose
More than just a dream
When it gains wholeness
A life fulfills its meaning
When each of us experience
Feelings that embrace us all
When love enters the heart
We're inspired from the start
Spirit filled with love
Strengthens who we are
Spirit filled with love
Compels us to go far
Spirit filled with love
Where would we be
Without such emotions?
Where would we be
Without family?
Our souls gain courage
From sources of devotion
Our being is defined
By the care we give willfully

Big Cloud
04:08
|
|||
|
The big cloud meets the moon
The thunder's in the sky
There's got to be a cry
You know
The fire is getting high
The smoke is coming near
It's not far away from here
You know
There's no place you can run
There's no place you can hide
Find compassion in your pride
You know
Confrontation's by and by
The falcon; it does fly
The peace pipe's in your head
You know
A spear thrown to forewarn
A humanness is born
From the trifles of the torn
Don't you know?
A new friendship is required
We're all permanently hired
To help this world to mend
You know
